Hello Doctor,
A week ago, I injured my testicle, and now it's still enlarged and feels really hard. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? What should I do?
Hello
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
An enlarged and hard testicle a week after an injury is not typical and could suggest a more serious issue, such as testicular torsion, rupture, or an infection. Testicular trauma can sometimes lead to conditions like epididymitis (inflammation of the tube that carries sperm) or hematoceles (blood accumulation around the testicle), both of which can cause swelling, hardness, and pain.
It is very important to seek medical attention as soon as possible if your symptoms persist or worsen. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to avoid potential complications, including long-term damage or even loss of the testicle.
