Suggest Remedy For Nagging Pain In Scrotum

Good evening. I have been having a nagging pain in my right scrotum for the past 2 or 3 days. Its most noticeable when I run or jump. Since I am an active runner, this is disconcerting to me. It feels light something is squeezing my right testicle. Is this something that will clear up in a few days? Can I wait to see if it will get better?

Thanks for contacting HCM

You are concerned about having right testicular pain after exercise. This pain could have many causes. The most common would be just strain of the groin muscles. During your exercises make sure you wear a jock strap and tight fitting underwear to support your testicles.

Another possibility is an inguinal hernia. These are congenital and will manifest themselves with testicular pain and a lump in the groin. Your doctor should do a hernia check.

Also you could have epididymitis an infection of the sperm tubules behind the testicles. Your doctor again should check and if needed start you on antibiotics.

I recommend if after wearing better supportive underwear or jock strap that if you are still having pain that you seek medical attention.
