Is testicular discomfort normal on Ashwagandha?

[coldviking1]

So,

I’ve been taking Ashwagandha for 5 days now (300mg/day in the mornings). I have noticed in the evening i tend to feel pain in my balls, not like sharp pain, more like a discomfort if that makes sense.

I’ve been looking online and reading threads, apparently several people experience it. However, most people explain that they instantly stop supplementing ash after experiencing it.

Ashwagandha is (allegedly) known to help increase testosterone, commonly marketed as boosting libido. Could the pain have something to do with hormonal changes in the testes?

Before the coomers accuse me of edging, i do in fact not. I try to abstain from masturbation. However, since the pain is basically identical to blue balls, i tried to ejaculate today to “relieve the pressure”, unfortunately to no avail.

I guess what i’m asking is, has anyone else experienced this? Does it subside after a while? Should i stop taking Ash?

Thanks in advance

U need to see if u find any swelling

I also have that from time to time probably an infection but if u find swelling I’d call a doctor since it can be testicular torsion and u will lose ur ball in under 24h if u don’t go

Ive been taking ashwagandha for a month and never experienced this might be best to do more research

I don’t feel like my balls are swollen. I will check in the morning when i wake up though.
Maybe they are slightly bigger than usual, nothing out of the ordinary. There’s no redness nor sharp jolts of pain. I read somewhere that Ashwagandha can increase weight of testicles, maybe it’s corelated, i dunno

Good idea. I think i will try to see if it passes on it’s own (while i research some more). If not, i will stop taking it.

U should notice red mark on the side of the pain

Also if the painful ball is hanging higher than the other it might also be a sign of torsion

its probably something specific to you, I was on 900 a day and didnt feel anything weird in my balls.

Man you gave me crazy paranoia. I woke up today and my balls were fine, no redness or swelling at all. I don’t think it’s testicular torsion.

its probably not lol, just change the time in which you take it or go off it for awhile and see if it stops hurting

Might be the move. It hurt a tiny bit today during daytime. Maybe it’s just my testes getting readjusted to hormonal changes. Right now we good tho
