Brief Answer:
Not emergency

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This pain is not an emergency and there is no need to worry.

Such occasional pains are common in men and are generally due to small trauma unknowingly or during sleep.

Hence I advice you to relax and take a pain killer if necessary and take rest. You wiil be fine.
