Can uti cause testical pain?

Question

I'm currently dealing with a UTI, and along with the usual discomfort, I've started having pain in my testicles. This is a new symptom for me. Is it possible for a urinary tract infection to cause pain in the testicles?

Rajesh Mishra · Accepted Answer

While you are waiting to see a specialist, drinking lukewarm water with a bit of lemon can help flush out toxins. I also found that wearing loose cotton pants instead of tight jeans helps reduce local pressure. But please don't rely only on home tips for testicular pain, a doctor must evaluate it.

Aditya Varma · Answer

Yes, a urinary tract infection can sometimes spread to the epididymis or prostate, causing referred pain in the testicles. Since this involves delicate areas, it is highly recommended to consult a urologist. They will likely suggest a urine culture and physical exam to rule out anything serious.

I totally get it, experiencing pain in such a sensitive spot can be extremely stressful and scary. Try to take some rest and avoid lifting heavy objects for now. Please book an appointment with a general physician or urologist as soon as possible so they can help you feel better.

Don't get worried, son. I had a similar scare some years back, and it turned out to be a simple bladder infection that had spread slightly. With a few days of antibiotics prescribed by a good doctor, the heaviness and pain completely vanished. Just get it checked early.

I was actually wondering about this too, but I felt a bit awkward asking. Is the pain constant, or does it only happen when you pass urine? I am experiencing something similar and trying to understand if I should visit a general clinic or a specialist directly.
