A 42 year old man in USA went to hospital due to ‘stabbing pain’ in his testicles. He was later tested and found to have Coronavirus.

Over 25 health workers and patients already exposed and are now in isolation.

So this is a warning:
Testicle pain may be a sign of Coronavirus.

As a matter of fact, the man did NOT have any of the usual common coronavirus symptoms of cough, fever or difficulty breathing.

So healthcare workers didn’t take full precautions- only to get the shock of their lives when tests done two days later confirmed he has Coronavirus.

This case has now been written by Harvard Medical School in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine.

So don’t think of cough, fever, difficulty breathing alone- some viruses like mumps and maybe Coronavirus also attack the testicles.

“Oh but what if he had some other problems in his testicles before this time?”

Sorry, he did not have any testicle problems. No what-ifs here at all.

The doctors checked him thoroughly and could find nothing wrong with his testicles, but a CT scan showed damage in his lungs.

It was the damage in his lungs that made them worry and test him for Coronavirus- only for the results to be positive.

Anyway, the learning point here is that this virus can cause unusual symptoms- and it will do you a lot of good to be aware of this- so that you can stay alert.
