Testicle Injury Pain: When to Seek Medical Attention After a Hit

Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

I got hit in the testicles about 5 days ago. The pain isn't constant, but it comes and goes. It's not too bad, but I'm wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if it will heal on its own?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

While it's not uncommon for pain to come and go after an injury to the testicles, it's important to rule out any potential complications, such as internal damage or swelling that could affect your health in the long term. I would strongly recommend that you get an ultrasound as soon as possible. This will help determine if there’s any internal injury that needs attention. It's better to get it checked now to avoid any serious issues later on.

 

Thanks
