Patient Question

Hello Doctor,

 

If a knee to the testicles is taken by a teen (pre-puberty), causing severe initial pain but subsiding within 30 minutes to an hour, are there any lasting effects? No swelling or blood was observed.

 

Hello,

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

 

A knee to the testicles can cause severe initial pain, but if it subsides within 30 minutes to an hour without swelling or blood, lasting effects are unlikely. Most minor testicular injuries heal without complications, and normal functions such as sperm production and sexual performance are typically unaffected. However, if pain persists or other symptoms develop, medical evaluation is recommended to rule out serious conditions like testicular torsion or rupture. With proper care and rest, recovery is usually quick and complete.

 

Thanks
