Is testicle pain after appendectomy normal at 14?

Patient's Query

I am 14 years old. I had an appendectomy on 12 December, and my stitches were removed around day 8–9. Since about day 6–7 after surgery, I’ve been feeling intermittent discomfort and heaviness in my right testicle and groin. The pain is not constant; it comes and goes, sometimes dull and sometimes sharp, lasting a few seconds to a couple of minutes, and it improves when I lie down. I don’t have fever, redness, swelling, vomiting, or severe constant pain. The testicle sometimes feels heavier or firmer, especially when standing or moving. I’m able to walk and go to school. I’m worried and anxious about it and want to know if this is normal post-surgery healing or nerve-related pain

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

After an appendectomy, it's not uncommon to experience some discomfort in the groin or testicle area. This could be due to a few things, like the position you were in during surgery or even some nerves getting a bit irritated. Since you're not having any fever or severe pain, that's a good sign. To help ease your mind, I'd recommend mentioning this to your gastroenterologist during your follow-up visit. In the meantime, try to take it easy and avoid any heavy lifting.

Male | 26

Abdominal pain can have many causes, including issues with the stomach, intestines, or other organs. It could be due to gas, constipation, infections, or something more serious like appendicitis. If needed, your doctor may recommend an abdominal ultrasound to identify the cause. The treatment will depend on the results, so it's important to follow your doctor's advice.

i’ve had light constipation this past week, i’ve been passing a little bit of stool at least once each day and i want to get an idea of how i can fix it?

Female | 17

You have mild constipation. This is when stool moves slowly in your inte­stines, making pooping difficult. Common reasons are not drinking e­nough water, not consuming enough fiber, or not be­ing active. To fix this, drink more water. Eat fruits and ve­getables. Move your body by walking or e­xercising regularly. Constipation makes bowe­l movements difficult. Mild cases can be­ alleviated with simple life­style changes.

Ill-defined enhancing space occupying lesion approximately measuring 47 x 32 x 30 mm seen epicentered in the lumen of mid transverse colon. Mild fat stranding and subcentimetric lymph nodes are seen around the lesion. There is resultant dilatation of proximal large bowel loops and small bowel loops, measuring up to 6 cm in maximum calibre.

Female | 51

It see­ms like there is a worrying growth in your mid colon are­a. This growth is making the area swell up and push on your inte­stines. This can make them ge­t bigger. It can also cause pain, bloating, and changes in how you poop. The­ best thing to do is to get more te­sts done. These te­sts will help figure out what is causing the growth. The­n the right treatment can be­ decided.

I'm 17 year old . I'm smoking and doing masterbation from last three years. Drink alcohol eight times and also eating junk food. Now I'm very week . My blood pressure is low at 70/100 . My digestive system also disturbed very badly.

Male | 17

Smoking, excessive masturbation, alcohol consumption, and junk food intake can be a great hindrance for your body before you live your life at its full potential. Weakness, low blood pressure, and digestive problems are manifested by these bad habits most of the time. Limit these addictions, eat healthier foods, and keep hydrated. Also, take a rest and let your body heal itself.
