Furiated Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 I was on Cymbalta 30mg for 2 months and I noticed testicular pain at the time being and lower sperm count. Today, semen comes out watery and the dull pain isn't gone, plus, whenever I get it, it also affects my whole right leg. (It's my right ball that hurts)Can cymbalta cause such nerve pain? I also used to get nerve pains a few weeks in my arms and legs ago but they stopped.Read my intro thread please on info on how I am doing now and what kind of treatment I follow.I forgot to add. When I slightly press the aching one, it leaves me with a dull ache, when I do it in the healthy one, it doesn't hurt at all. Why does my semen come out watery? Can cymbalta affect sperm count and quality? Sorry for the graphic details. I wish I can get some help.

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 17, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 17, 2014 Please see a medical specialist for the testicular pain. This may be a different medical problem. On the other hand, Cymbalta was originally sold for urinary incontinence. You might be very sensitive to it -- particularly when you took the higher dose and it caused adverse effects -- and it may have affected your urinary system. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

I really hope it is another medical problem. Cause if it's from cymbalta, that's bad news. By the way, I urinate normally.

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 18, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2014 You may wish to Google for "testicular pain" and see if you can find syndromes to match yours. I'm sure ultrasound does not identify all of them. This is not medical advice. Discuss any decisions about your medical care with a knowledgeable medical practitioner.

I'm sure ultrasound does not identify all of them. Nop. The results are all some statistics and even them report that out of the 40k something people that have taken the drug, only 15 have testicular pain. That's not significant imo.

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 19, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's significant to your situation! I think you've found out your pain is an adverse effect of the drug. I suggest you contact your doctor to report this to the appropriate government agency. This is not medical advice.

Nobody complains for prostatitis on google from cymbalta. Not only that, people say they got persribed cymbalta to alleviate pains of their already existing prostatitis. this might be indeed something else.

Administrator Altostrata Posted February 25, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 25, 2014 http://www.drugs.com/pro/cymbalta.html Urinary Hesitation and RetentionCymbalta is in a class of drugs known to affect urethral resistance. If symptoms of urinary hesitation develop during treatment with Cymbalta, consideration should be given to the possibility that they might be drug-related. In post marketing experience, cases of urinary retention have been observed. In some instances of urinary retention associated with duloxetine use, hospitalization and/or catheterization has been needed. This is not medical advice.
