Is Spitting Blood After Being Kicked Hard In Testicles Concerning?
my 14 yr. old was kicked very hard in the testicles about an hour ago. His brother witnesses the event and said he was spitting blood for a moment. I'm waiting for the authorities to arrive but am getting fearfull of lasting damage or torsion etc. I have had him keep ice on/off every 15 min. and have not physically examined him. As soon as I'm done with the police I was going to take him to the doctor. Should I be doing more, or be more concerned?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Testicular trauma does not cause spitting or vomiting of blood. It might be due to something else or most probably wrongly interpreted. However you can go for a scrotal ultrasound immediately to rule out any torsion or related testicular injury.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
