Brief Answer:
No worries

Dear Friend.
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
It is advisable to wear an underwear because it is made of cotton and it absorbs all the sweat produced, which might otherwise cause fungal infection.
Once you stop wearing an underwear and start wearing it again, the discomfort you are feeling is very natural. It would go away with time, once you start wearing it again. Initially avoid wearing frenchies, they cause more discomfort.
They definitely provide support to your testicles but it doesn't mean that if you don't wear them your testicles would hang down.
As a doctor, i would advise you to start wearing them again, after a few days you would be as comfortable as you are without wearing them.
They also provide you protection from sweats one by absorbing it and second by avoiding contact of your thighs, penis, and testicles with the pant or jeans that a person usually wear 3-4 times before washing.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
