My urologist just put me on Cialis this past Wednesday and I’ve been taking half a tablet every night before bed. Since then, however, I’m finding I’m getting a dull pain in my left testicle. It left me particularly restless last night and it’s been lingering all day today. I haven’t felt testicular pain since quitting propecia so I’m assuming there may be a connection between the two? I’ve been searching for others who may have had the same issue but it seems but I can’t seem to find anything to definitely draw a correlation. But I’m not imagining things, either. Anyone else every experience this problem, or anyone who can help validate (or invalidate) this connection?
I started having testicular pain in my left testicle two months after quitting. It has been recurring and lasting for a couple weeks at a time. Recently, after 7months off of the drug the pain has subsided and has actually moved around in my groin region, anywhere from upper inner thigh, behind scrotum, right testicle, etc. But primarily it’s still in the left.
How long have you been off?
I’ve been off 4 months, but the pain/tension came and went inconsistently and was never a major side effect, just a minor one compared to the ED/libido issues. Definitely not enough to interrupt my sleeping like it did last night. The testicular pain is actually the only side effect that seemed to completely subside when I quit. Only since starting Cialis on Wednesday did the pain return. It’s weird, but it could just be a coincidence. I am still suffering from sides, so it’s not far fetched to think it’s just a fin side showing up again. But I’d be more relieved to know that it may be the Cialis causing it. But like you, I have read similar stories of the pain coming and going post-fin.
Test it… if you take cialis and notice it, then dont take it for a few days and it goes away, then take it again and it comes back… probably a strong indicator it may be related to the medication (in what way, I have no idea).
Good idea, I guess that’s my best option.

Well, I haven’t taken the cialis in 2 days now and the pain seems to have subsided. No change in diet or anything like that. I’m gonna give it one more night and start up the cialis again and see what happens. If the pain returns I guess I’m gonna have to drop it, which is shame because even after only 5 days of use it was already having a positive effect =.
