Need suggestions

I have bipolar disorder Type 2 and i live in a debilitatingly severe constant state of anxiety. Lately I've been experiencing something doctors refer to as Testicular sensitivity for 2 or 3 months now, which is freaking me out. I got tested recently, as advised by my urologist. I got ultra sound scans of my urinary tract and prostate. The tests were normal, so i was told by the lab analyst who performed the tests. But my doctor will analyse them tomorrow.

I read somewhere that Testicular hypersensitivity is a common physiological symptom of anxiety amongst men. I am 28. Given my age or lack of any other abnormality indicated in my tests ( although i'm getting ahead of myself here, i'll get the actual confirmation tomorrow when i see my doc, but lets assume for a moment that the preliminary assessment of the lab analyst is right, he was a doctor too), would it be okay to assume that this is indeed a symptom of Anxiety? Have anyone else experienced anything like this?

P.s i come from a low risk population for Prostate Cancer. I live in India, where its extremely rare. No prior family history whatsoever. I am very active when it comes to fitness.

Any suggestion, advice would be much appreciated.

Hi

Yes I have had this issue myself and had tests done which all came back clear so my doctor put it down to anxiety. It's mad how much anxiety can affect your body physically which is one of the worst things with suffering with an anxiety disorder.

It sounds like you have had the relevant tests which have come back clear which is good news because if something was wrong it would show up in the results. You know have to do the hard part which is believe in those results and do all you can to reduce your anxiety through self help and once your anxiety is better you should see an improvement in the physical symptoms.

Keep us posted.

Thanks a lot guys I needed to hear that. I feel a little better.

Just this feeling of sensitivity/ slight discomfort every now and then. No other symptoms. Everything else works just fine.

My doc cleared me yesterday. Gave me a clean bill of health. Reducing stress was doc's orders.

Hi

Good to hear the doctor gave you the all clear now as SC mentioned it's time to work on your anxiety/stress management.

Keep us posted

Hibee

Appreciate the concern of my well being, there's no one else in my life who cares. You guys are very encouraging and supporting. Wish I had more people like you in my life. I'll settle for the ones i've got.

Thank you so much nice friends.

I thank my stars that I stumbled onto this website. A place where I can get answers, hope, and motivation.
And the best part is, people actually 'Listen' in here. We are confused and lost souls with no one to turn to. But this place takes in us like a part of their family from the very first day.
