Can anxiety cause groin/testicle pain?

[djkyosti]

Long story short. I have had bouts with anxiety in the past, always presenting as pain in some part of the body. The first time I experienced it was a stressful time in my life and it was started in the neck; other times I have had stomach pains; now more recently I came down with urological symptoms. Have been to the urologist for the exams, antibiotics, and the fact is bacteria is never found. I do wonder how much damage I have done to myself due to antibiotics I probably never needed. Now pain is back very strong in groin or testicle (can't even really tell where it comes from). Urologist found nothing remarkable. I am under a lot of stress and it is now seeming to me that this could be yet another manifestation of my old friend anxiety! Anybody else have the same experience?

Hi,

I too have pain in my groin just below my belly button, I have had it for a couple of years now on and off. Comes on when I am stressed, it has also moved around that area. I too have been to a Urologist and had all the test all which were fine, initially I though it was my appendix and docs sent me to hospital but it was not.

When it comes I still think it is my appendix and worry about it more, off course making it worse. However I am starting to try and not concentrate on it.

Sorry for your pain but it is really good to find someone in a similair position.



Pain is fully, as with all this I have had chest pain as well, but I have never had them together it always seems like I get one or the other but never together, I suppose that is my thoughts are concentrating on the affected area and bloke everything else out.
