Suggest Treatment For Dull Ache In Testicles

Posted on Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Question: I have had a dull ache in my testicles for the past two days but this morning I have a painful throb in my left testicle only. The pain is heightened when doing any level of exertion such as walking, bending, lifting. It feels as though I have been kicked between the legs and I feel as though i'm winded. Coughing is also very painful

Brief Answer:
Torsion Testis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

From the history you have given me it looks like you are suffering from torsion of the testis. It is a medical emergency, I would like you to go to the ER immediately for an examination and USG of the scrotum.
I further suggest

1. Avoid walking and lifting heavy weights
2. Wear briefs type of underwear to support your testis
3. Tab Aceclofenac is the ideal pain killer however tab paracetamol can also be taken for pain relief
4. Avoid driving on your own

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
