What Causes Soreness In The Testicles In An Elderly Person?
Question: I am a 71 year old male in very good health. I do a lot of physical exercize and eat extremely healthfully. Recently (in the past week) I have noticed that on occassion, my testicles feel a bit sore. I once tried icing and it seems to have worked, but it returns for a short time almost every day.
Brief Answer:
Try over the counter pain killer
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
You must have hurt testicle lightly while exercising. You may not notice it most times.
I suggest to try an over the counter pain killer low dose like Ibuprofen 200mg, three times a day for two days. You can try this if you do not have kidney disease or gastritis.
It should work if it is simple pull or mild infection and it subsides.
