Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Pain in my right testicle like I was kicked in the crotch but I wasnt. The pain shoots only to my lower abdomen. Severe swelling on and off pee d red blood one time a month ago with no pain. Also a month ago I had an urgent need to urinate every 20 minutes for a few days. My wife gave me AZO to numb the tract. 3 days ago the pain returned but only pain of being kicked?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
This type of pain and location is suggestive of epididymitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually Ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequences. Masturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required and this should improve on antibiotic therapy.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time. Wish you a good health.
