Problems with testicles and PTSD?
Hello, I have been suffering from PTSD for 8 years (not confirmed). I have been having flashbacks for years because I was sexually abused as a child.
Since then I've always had problems with myself.
What I hate most is my testicles, constant heavy feeling, constant feeling of falling asleep in the intimate area, and my testicles don't look good at all (I think I'm not a doctor).
One hangs further down (which is actually normal) but it also sticks out further and feels different. I've also recently developed a strange kind of cartilage on the underside of my testicle and it's in a very strange position.
Of course some will now say:
Go to the doctor
Get help
Etc.
I have been to urologists several times but every time I had my testicles checked I always had flashbacks or even refused, and usually even cried
Three years ago he even said that everything was fine, but a lot has changed. I've gotten kicked in the balls more often, etc.
I don't know what to do anymore. It would be so nice if they looked normal or were even gone, but I can't. As soon as someone touches me there, I panic and cry.
Don't worry, I'm not suicidal and would never harm myself (just in case anyone is worried).

I’d recommend looking for psychological help.
Entering you in psychological therapy for abuse victims!
