Hello all, I'm new to this forum.
I've been weight training for over 2 years now and it has become a significant part of my life. I'm afraid though that I might have a hernia and am wondering if any of you can confirm this. I get testicular pain about three times a week now and it is usually accompanied by nausea and stomach pain. The pain passes after an hour or so and it is not severe, but it is a burden. Thing is, I don't get the pain during or after I exercise, I get it a few hours after or before. I also don't have any bumps on my abdominal or groin area which is a common symptom of hernias. I've reached my goal 6 months ago so my exercise routine has been fairly the same for the past 6 months since I do not want to gain or lose any more. I also have good form so I do not know how I could get a hernia... What worries me though is that my father and brother have both suffered from hernias, so I'm hoping I didn't inherit a weak abdominal wall...
I will visit a doctor soon, but can anyone please give me some opinions on my situation?
Thank you so much
