What Causes Persistent Testicular Pain After A Fall?
Hi, my dad (65yrs - 69kg) fell on his penis area whilst he was on an exercise bike. He has had pain in the testicles, back and stomach for 6 months now but in the last week it has become unbarable. he is taking morphine. at night he cant sleep, his testicles are hot and he has to put a cold pack on them. Doctors cant find anything wrong. He can walk or sit. 2 specialist checked him. they done prostate check, blood test, urine test and cat scan. no clue whats wrong with him. Please help with any suggestions. could it be his back causing the pain?

Hello this is Dr Adil.
Thanks for asking question.
It seems that your Dad testicles get injury during that event of falling.
Testicular trauma may cause referred pain that feels in the abdominal area.
So some testicular pathology that has been resulted from the trauma event, is there.
Now all the tests came negative, it means there's nothing serious or something that may need emergency evaluation.
Now in this situation, i would suggest, pain killers, cold packs and testicular support, as he is already doing.
You should seek another specialist's advice on this matter also, if problem worsens.
You may ask more question or give more information on this subject so that we have a better idea of the condition of your father.
Kind Regards.
