    Approxiamately 5 days ago my left testical started throbbing and just thought maybe it would go away from possible nerve in back or something. However it still hasnt gone away. Ive researched on internet and come up with nothing, this site was the closest i was able to find on it. My wife thinks im worrying about nothing.

    Ive tested the tube for cancer and find no matchings for symptoms. The throbbing by the way has increased, and you can see it actually moving and looks similar to a very slow heart beat. when it first started it was maybe every few mins or so. now its every 2-5 secs and isnt too painful as much as irritating with slight pain.

    Any suggestions please reply.

    Hi Clint,

    Soon there will be more knowledgable people on the board that can better answer your question but I can tell you that you should get that checked out by a urologist.
    Testicular cancer is rare but is most common in males between 15 and 35 years old.
    It is also curable if it is caught early.
    You might just have some inflammation that an antibiotic can clear up, but get it checked into.
    Please check back again because there are some people on this forum that are very informative and helpful, and you won't have to wait long to start hearing from them. They are great.

      Do a self exam as described here. My guess is that you have an infection but I would certainly visit a urologist and get that thing checked.

        Do any of the veins attached and surronding the spermatic cord have any swellings or enlargements? A varicocele is possible based on what you have described.

          Hello, Thanks for replying everyone, I appreciate it.
          Yea im going to schedule an appointment even though since ive posted on here it has gone away. ive had several back problems in past, so might think it was just a nerve pinching. IVe done the self exam and dont feel any bumbs etc on the uretha tube at this point. about 4 months ago i did have a physical done because i was short winded and had no energy at all. They did blood test etc and found no traces of cancer at the time nor any diseases. Ive been married for 7 yrs and never cheated on wife and visa versa (hopefully ;-) ) so cant put a finger on type of infection.

          thanks again and will see doctor to let you all know.
