Yes, kidney stones can cause referred pain that is felt in the testicles. When a kidney stone moves through the urinary tract, it can cause significant pain in the lower back, abdomen, and groin area. Sometimes, this pain can radiate down into the testicles. The pain is often described as sharp and intense and may come in waves as the stone moves.
It’s important to note that not all testicular pain is due to kidney stones, and there are other potential causes of testicular pain, such as infections, hernias, and other medical conditions. If you’re experiencing testicular pain, especially if it’s severe or persistent, it’s important to seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment. Kidney stones can be diagnosed and treated by a healthcare professional, and they can provide guidance on managing the pain and facilitating the passage of the stone if necessary.
