Patient Question
Hello Doctor,
I have aching in my testicles, and I have had it for multiple days. I tried relieving it with ejaculation, but it didn't work.
Answered by Dr. Abdelmajeed Saad
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query:
Persistent aching or discomfort in the testicles that lasts for multiple days is not normal and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider. Some key points:
- Testicular pain lasting longer than an hour, especially if severe, could indicate a serious condition like testicular torsion, which requires immediate medical attention.
- Other common causes of chronic testicular pain include infections, injuries, cysts, and varicoceles (swollen veins in the scrotum). These often require medical treatment.
- Trying to relieve the pain through ejaculation is unlikely to provide a long-term solution. The underlying cause needs to be addressed.
- You should make an appointment with a doctor to get a proper examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
Delaying medical care for persistent testicular pain is not recommended. The aching you’re experiencing is a sign that warrants a medical evaluation. Consult a doctor to determine the cause and get appropriate treatment. Do not ignore this issue, as it could indicate a more serious underlying condition.
Thanks
