Can running 5 miles every other day cause pain in the testicles? i'm 63.?

Question

i've been running 3 miles for almost 30 years but recently upped to 5 miles.

Answer 1

Buy compression shorts.  They help to keep everything together.  I will not running anything over 2 miles without them.

Answer 2

It should not cause pain, unless you are not getting any support from your clothing or something may be wrong physically.

I have never had any problems.

I am only 62.

Answer 3

Go to a running store and buy some supportive mens underwear, this should help.  If your concerned (especially your age) see a doctor, just to make sure its nothing else.  Good for you for keeping up with the running.  What an inspiration.

Answer 4

make sure you dont have a hernia

Answer 5

Answer #2 sounds right.  Wearing loose-fitting underwear might give you some discomfort, but that sounds like a potential hernia.  Go to the doctor and see what he says.
