What Causes Swollen And Bruised Testicles After Rib Injury?
My husband had a bad fall and broke 6 ribs. He is still in hospital but doing well. The left lung was left with only 20% capacity due to blood coagulating in the thorax. They put in a IC drain and the xray this evening showed the lungs doing nicely. However when I went to bath him this evening found that his testicles looked swollen and very black/purple colour - is this something to be concerned about?

Hello,
The overall trauma he had has caused bruising I'm testicle.
The fall has caused hematoma all over the body and in testicle too. Try to keep cold compresses.
The haematoma needs some time to be absorbed and go away.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
