I just noticed that my dogs testicles are peeling and swollen. I am worried.

Take the dog to the vet ASAP!
Feel the testicle to see if you feel a lump.

I am a 26 year old male, and for the last 18 months I've had pain in my testicle (usually the right one) accompanniedby short-term swelling in my epididymis, and some urine pain every 6 weeks or so. the major pain only lasts maybe an hour or so, and then for another day or two it might be sensitive. Sometimes it is worse than others. I should point out that I probably urinate more than most people, even when I'm feeling fine. And again, sometimes more than other times. BUT- its not like I feel I need to go, and not much comes out. I pee when my bladder is full.

I've seen a few doctors, and most didn't seem overly concerned about whatever it was, and the last Dr. believed that I had Prostatitis that was triggering flare-ups of Epididymitis every once in a while. he seemed to make the most sense and the symptoms are pretty dead- on.

He recommended I try antibiotics for 6 weeks, but it sounds like my symptoms could/would probably come back anyway.

Is there anything that I can do?

Take the antibiotics.

My hernia did cause me prostatitis symptoms, shooting pain, and lower back pain. I am better now after 7 months…but after sex I feel a bit of pain in my right testicle – I had them checked out by an Urologist and he did not find anything wrong with them. I read that could be referred pain from the nerves as a result of the hernia…could this be?…I checked them and they look find…

Yes, this could be a referred pain pattern associated with the L5/S1 disc herniation. It is common that during sex your back may be agitated due to the biomechanics involved and irritate the nerve root that has part of its distribution in that region. There are some materials available that you can probably obtain from an orthopedic specialist or a chiropractor relating to sexual positions that cause the least amount of pain/discomfort/stress on the back for individuals with pain in this area.

Yep…

I know I am female and you are male, but I was unfortunate to have the same problem as yourself. During sudden cold spells, if I had been coughing after a cold etc I would have a dragging sensation on the inside of my legs and in my private parts too.

After sex, I could barely stand and if I did, the shooting pain would literally bring me to my knees often. It also felt heavy and dragging.

After a couple of years this has passed, although every now and again it will still surprise me. you are never the same after you have had your muscles cut I am afraid.

Yes it can be referred pain and if you have been told by the urologist that everything is OK there then don't worry about it.
But, do keep checking yourself every month, after a warm bath or shower,
Check them both carefully and see a doctor again if you find anything unusual.

I'm 18 and for the past few days, my left testicle has been slightly painful and uncomfortable. After reading about the existence of testicular cancer, I am now worried.

With the pain and symptoms in cancer, is it ALWAYS there as long as it's untreated or on and off?

Both better get it checked out now
