6. Discomfort or pain in the Testicles
Discomfort or pain experienced in the testicles is a very common symptom that can usually be associated with prostatitis, though there are plenty of different medical conditions that can cause it. You should be concerned that it might be prostatitis if you experience this symptom more often – and then in combination with any of the other symptoms that are mentioned on this list.
It’s a symptom that can cause a lot of discomfort in general, but it’s something that a lot of men consider too embarrassing to tell their doctors – and so it never gets the attention that it deserves during an appointment, and can sometimes lead to misdiagnosis because the doctor wasn’t given all of the information.
Experiencing discomfort or pain in any part of your body is nothing to be embarrassed about – and could save you from a lifetime of medical problems, including a higher risk for developing prostate cancer.
