Thread: Groin/Testicle Pain&Swelling?

So last monday I went to the gym and did my usual upper and lower body workout, I woke up tuesday and was sore like i usually am, but i noticed I was a little more sore in my left groin area then usual, I then noticed that my left testicle was a little bit swollen and the veins that come from the testicle were also swollen. So I didn't go to the gym wed or friday because i thought I should rest. The pain went away a little but the swelling didn't. So on sunday i iced up my groin/testicle and woke up yesterday with everything pretty much cool. So I then went to the gym and did my normal upper and lower body workout again. Today I woke up and have been laying in bed pretty much all day, when i got in the shower i noticed that my left testicle was again swollen and my groin sore. I'm starting to get scared. I had previously set up a doctors appointment for march 5 because i needed a medical checkup because i'm gonna be traveling soon. Should I be worried and try to reschedule my appointment for earlier or just wait it out. I am 18 years old 184 pounds and i'm in pretty good shape
so how long should i wait it out and not do the lower body routine...

Sounds like you have a hernia. No rush, you can wait it out, just don't do your lower body routine.
