It is possible that the balls were not damaged but the nerves to them were. That could also explain the fact that I have phantom pain in my right ball now and then (but not half as bad as the pain I had before).WheelyFixed wrote: Fri May 30, 2025 1:17 pm Not a Doc, but I'd agree w/ Dandelion in that I don't see how a kidney stone could damage your testicles, as they have different plumbing... The prostate acts as a sort of mixing / diverter valve, and (if working properly) either connects the bladder to the urethra for urination, OR mixes sperm from the testicles w/ seminal fluid for ejaculation...
A stone forms either in the kidneys and travels to the bladder, or the bladder itself, and then goes out via the prostate to the urethra, and could potentially cause damage to the prostate and urethra, but no way it could go anywhere near the testicles.... That said, I could see a couple possible ways of ending up w/ testicle pain...
1. If you ended up w/ some sort of UTI as a result of the other damage, they can sometimes travel to the balls and cause a very painful and difficult to treat infection.
2. I'm not sure just how / where the nerves for the testicles are routed, but I could see them possibly getting damaged as a result of either the stone or the treatment for the damage it caused.
3. I know that some guys who have had vasectomies report a lot of testicle pain later, possibly some sort of similar issue since you reported having the tubes blocked....
Not terribly relevant or important given your current state, but it would be nice to know which as a matter of curiosity...
