Flu induced testicular discomfort?

Hello guys. I have a small case of the flu. Nothing serious. No sore throat, just a lot of phlegm and muckus, headache, and feeling like shit in the mornings, but ok in the afternoons.
Since yesterday, my left testicle (Henry 's the name if you gotta know) started to cause me discomfort if moved or touched in a special place (that is on the upper side where the tubes connect, which deliver my man sauce).
I am sorry for the non-professional, non-medical terms, but I don't know them and I am too lazy to look them up.
I am not toooo bothered by it. I mean, I do sometimes have testicular discomfort every once in a while and now in combination with the flu I can imagine there is not everything quite fine and dandy in every place in my body, but you know... It's my testies. It's not like it's little finger on the left hand discomfort. It's Henry and if worst comes to worst and he has to depart Manolito (the right one) would be alone and probably sad.
I can exclude a twisting or stuff like that, because no force out of the ordinary or kick was delivered to my scrotum recently.
Anyone had this?

(joking ... I think)
If you have occasional sore testicles, could it not be just coincidence that it has occurred at the same time as your flu? Or does this feel markedly very different?
This time, Henry is in agony (and therefore me!) when I touch move him in the wrong spot. Not spinebursting pain, but on the international pain scale, like a lightly stubbed toe, or stepping on a plug pain.
I guess I just sit the flu out and if Henry isn't better by then I go see a penis doctor.
Yeah, I agree. Give it a couple of days and see if the pain goes when you're over the flu. You may have strained something when coughing or sneezing.
get little henry checked out to be on the safe side.
Yea, now where you mention it. A flat share of 4 friends had it and one didn't have the jab and had SERIOUS complications, like dangerously high fever, balls like tennis balls etc. For the rest it was just a bit of a flu and over within a week.
Since I am better now again and in the wiki article it says, the orchitis (testies inflammation) shows after the first week of sickness with fever coming up again.
I'll see if I have fever the next days. I just had a feel around of Henry and couldn't detect any pain, btw. So I guess Henry died or is well again.
In any case, there is still Manolito. He'll get the job done to create a few strubbles jr.
Thanks for your input.
Are lumps hard? As any other man I am very familiar with the ins and outs of my ballsack and sometimes it looks like some little lump is protruding but it feels soft as if it's tubes or veins or some shit.
They occured at the same time.
*hug* Strubbs!! hope you feel better!!
Yeah they tend to be, also tender to the touch. Always, always get them checked out. Whilst most are just cysts, very very occasionally it's testicular cancer (ball ache is a symptom of both) and young men are the "at-risk" group for both.
Well, I don't have any lumps, but since Henry isn't convalescent yet I booked a visit at the urologist, which is in an hour so I will definitely know what's up.
I'm well off, I am just being overly cautious, because testie problems is something i always I take serious.
