Suggest Treatment For Severe Dog Bite

Today I was at my local dark park. A dog ran up on me and hit me in the groin quite hard. I have been experiencing mild pain, but so far their is no bruising or major swelling. Just a dull aching pain. Is there anyway I could have damaged my leydig cells that would lower my testosterone in the future? If so how would I know?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

You have mentioned that you were hit in the groin . In that case there is no chance of damage to leydig cells as they are present in the testicles and not in groin.

So there is no need to worry about any problem for your testosterone production. Just relax.

You can just take Tyelenol for pain relief.

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask.
