Hi.

The causes of such a intermittent pain and numbness in the right testicle can be due to the following reasons:

Varicocele, Epididymal block, Epididymo-orchitis, Internal cyst and so on. This can be diagnosed only on:

Clinical evaluation and examination by a General Surgeon or Urologist and ultrasonography of the scrotum and abdomen with color doppler mode too.

The treatment will be curative in some diseases if operated correctly. And there may be a need for a long course of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication if there is a medical reason for the pain. Get going for early proper diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Iven Romic Rommstein, General Surgeon
