Recent Aortic Valve Replacement
Crazy question.
I see one of my physicians tomorrow, the surgeon in mid November.
Had aortic valve replaced and a 3-way bypass on October 5th. Everything seems fine but for one problem.
I am taking a number of medications for the surgery.
Within the last 5 days my testicles have become very sore, pain around an 8 out of 10, and the pain is most felt when moving/standing. If I sit or lay down I do not have any problems.
Is it possible that one of the medications is causing me this discomfort?
Do you need a list of the medications that I am taking?

Hello @showflash,
Welcome to Connect, and thank you for reaching out to the community with your concerns. I actually found two journal articles on whether heart medications may or may not be the cause of testicular pain:
– https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17200428
– https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC539400/

@showflash, if you wish, please let us know about your progress, or what explanation the physician may have given you? We look forward to getting to know you better.
