Fear of testicular cancer. Please help.

[roadtocalmness]

I have been experiencing sevre anxiety about having testicular cancer. My symptoms are back pain and testicular pain in both testicles, and i have been experiencing these symptoms for the last 2 weeks. Both of my symptoms have gotten better and are not consistent. I have had been checked by 5 doctors and a urologist. All of them say i have nothing to worry about, and the urologist could guarantee that i dont have cancer. I had a blood test and ultrasound done. Everything was clear. I still worry that i somehow have cancer. I do suspect that my back pain is caused by anxiety. The pain is on and off. Do i have something to worry about?

You answered your own question...youve had all those confirmations that you are ok.

Because he has anxiety. Reasoning becomes difficult, and actually seeing the truth after being told we are OK still leaves that lingering doubt. That is typical of HA. But that is the nature of the beast. We may believe them 99.9 percent, but that little niggle still persists. 'Did they miss something'? There is no alternative but to believe them. We are not doctors, and five years at medical school. three years as interns and maybe years of practise gives them the right to be sure.

I've been in your position and doubted everyone that told me otherwise they are professionals bud you've got to try and learn to trust what they've said.
