I have had pain in my right testicle for two months.  It is slightly swollen.  I assumed it was because of my small inguinal hernia that I have had for years.  I just saw a doctor who thought it could be epididymitis so I am taking antibiotics and an anti-inflamatory medication.  I also saw the hernia surgeon and he thinks the inguinal hernia is small but recommends surgery on the umbilical hernia.  Would an umbilical hernia cause pain in my testicle?  I have a small (pea size) bulge above my belly button.  The pain there is tied to the pain in my testicle and can persist for a month or two.    It feels like a rope is tied between the two.  If I push on the umbilical hernia I sometime feel pain to the tip of my penis.  It is getting better now, either because of the  medication or just due to time.  I cant decide whether to do an umbilical hernia surgery.  Part of me wants to wait and see how the antibiotics work, but I also would like to just get
Hello, Umbilical hernia would not cause pain on the testis and the repair of an umbilical hernia would not guarantee that the payment a testicle would go away. Suggest continuing treatment with the epididymitis latency how would the pain result after. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
