Suggest Treatment For Pain And Discomfort In The Testicle

default
Posted on Tue, 8 Nov 2016
Question: Hello doctor!
First of all, I am not sure what specialization I should refer to for my problem. However, I am taking an educated guess.
The problem began three months ago when during one week of solitary stay, I over-masturbated to a point where I felt a slight pull/discomfort in my right testicle.
From that point, the discomfort has never gone away completely. Whenever I stop masturbating for a few days, I sense a minor relief. However, the discomfort comes back whenever I have an erection or when I masturbate. The pain also sometimes extends to the region around the testicle. However, the pain is only very mild-mild. I also feel that the right testicle is slightly swollen or hard when I feel it. However, this could be an incorrect observation.
I am hoping that this will heal by itself. But I am writing here to know if I should visit a doctor.
Thank you in advance!
