Suggest Treatment For Severe Pain In The Left Testicles

Posted on Sat, 3 Dec 2016

Question: I am 76 years old, my left testicle is about 4 or 5 times the size of my right. There have not been any serious pain in the past. If there is I wear a jockstrap for a while. I usually wake up in the morning with cough that goes away after while. This morning while I was coughing I had a very sharp in my left testicle area radiated back toward buttocks. I put on a jockstrap, I don't know if this helped, but when I cough now the has stopped. Actually it was getting with each subsequent cough. Is this signs of a rupture? This is actually the first this pain has happened, and it was only when I coughed.
