Testicular pain can sometimes go away on its own, but it's important to see a doctor to rule out any serious causes. In fact, in up to 50% of cases, the cause of testicular pain is unknown.
Here are some signs that you should see a doctor right away:
-
Severe pain that comes on suddenly
-
Pain that is accompanied by nausea or vomiting
-
Pain that causes the testicle to pull up into the scrotum
-
Swelling or redness in the scrotum
-
A fever
-
Blood in your urine
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to see a doctor right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious complications.
If the pain is mild and goes away on its own, you can try some home remedies to relieve the pain, such as applying ice packs to the scrotum or taking over-the-counter pain medication. However, it is still important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying causes.
