Hello,
Thank You for the query at HCM
Pain in the testis requires immediate medical attention.
It could be due to trauma, testicular torsion or infection.
Testicular torsion need to be ruled out because it can cause complications like necrosis of testis. Treatment is with surgery.
Infection requre treatment with antibiotics.
Definite diagnosis requires physical examination and ultrasound of testis.
Follow up with a primary care provider for further management.
Hope I was able to help you
Please address further questions/concerns
Regards,
Dr.Lekshmi
