What Causes Tenderness In Testicles
Hello, I am 20 years old and recently after taking a knock to my testicals I have found them to be highly sensitive, sometimes hurting for no reason and then if they get even the smallest of knocks it drops me to the ground, it started a few months back. What's most likely wrong and what should I do?

Welcome to health care magic.
1.The history and symptoms suggest there was a trauma with hematoma formation, other possible cause could be inflammatory cause post trauma.
2.The investigation of choice in this case will be ultrasound examination of the scrotum.
3.Ultrasound examination will help in evaluation of the cause of the pain, presence of inflammatory changes ( altered echo-texture with increased vascularity), presence of any hematoma.
4.Presence of free fluid or not, chord status, epididymus and vascular status.
5.The treatment is a course of antibiotics with symptomatic treatment, this can be done even before the scan, but evaluation of the cause will give better orientation of the treatment. Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query.
