Your disc bulge is mild and not compressing nerves â itâs unlikely to be the sole cause of testicular pain.
Persistent testicular pain needs medical/urological evaluation first, to rule out non-spinal issues.
If medical/urological causes are excluded, then nerve referral or pelvic musculoskeletal cause should be investigated by a physio trained in pelvic rehab.
Next Steps
Consult a urologist immediately â to rule out urgent causes (infections,
kidney stones, testicular torsion, etc.). If cleared, see a physiotherapist for: Detailed spine and pelvic assessment Nerve mobility tests Postural and core stability check Screening for pelvic floor dysfunction Use conservative measures until then: Avoid heavy lifting or prolonged sitting that strains lumbar/pelvic region Use supportive seating (lumbar support) Gentle core activation exercises (if pain-free)
Health Tips
Do not ignore testicular pain â it can sometimes signal urgent urological issues. Donât rely only on your spine MRI â it doesnât rule out other causes. Avoid self-diagnosing or heavy gym activity until a proper evaluation is done.
