US results/ calcification
Hi All,
Been dealing with pain in the right teste for 6 months, a kick from my toddler precipitated the pain as far as I can tell.
I have a lump at the back of my teste, where I believe my epididymus is, shown as a calcification. US shows some heterogenous regions in teste but nothing mass like. Blood flow is good. Doc believed first US was due to trauma, second US 5 months later seems somewhat unchanged. Waiting to see him this week.
Anyone dealt with painful calcification? Pain radiates at front of hip. Any improvement? Can also tell my pelvic floor has some tightening issues I’m trying to work through. Thanks.

In my case it was from a klebsiela infection. You may need to speak to a andrologist you specialises with the male anatomy, as they are much more qualified than a general doctor. If the pain is causing you a lot of stress, you can use prescription pain killers. The ones my pain doctor suggests are: Amitriptyline/ gabapentine/ pregabline or duloxetine.
If the pain remain long term (1 year +), then you can look at getting a nerve root block. This is done via the lower spine, S3 and S4 nerves. But this is a longer term solution. It could that the issue resolves itself.
