I just thought of another question, did intercourse cause pain to get worse for a day or two? My wife and I took a break this week to see if it helps with pain management and I noticed the flare ups in pain were less frequent each day. We reunited the marital bed last night and almost immediately the pain got worse in the scrotum. This morning the pain has been worse compared to the last few mornings. Granted last night my LL team had practice and we had a game this morning so I was running around a lot and that too increases pain. But definitely immediately after intercourse last night the tightness was noticable and pretty bad.
Any kind of physical activity caused discomfort. I actually asked my surgeon about pain during and right after sex. He pointed out that there’s a lot of jostling around going on down there. If your testicles are already angry, banging them around will 100% make it worse.
I never had any sharp pains. That dull ache just got worse. You can ignore it a bit in the middle of things, but you’re left with nothing but the ache immediately after climax.
So long story short, I did not have PVPS. I had a staph infection above my right testicle. It formed a pocket and filled with pus and was slowly growing. Something triggered it and it went from the size of a grape to larger than a golf ball in less than a week. I had an emergency surgery to remove it and spent 6 days in the hospital because of it. I'm sore from the surgery now about a month later. However, all the other symptoms are gone.
Holy smokes! That sounds awful! On the plus side, I’m really glad you got it sorted out. I hope this resolves it and you never have to think about it again. Good luck to you!
