Suggest Remedy For Pain And Swelling In Testicle
my son is 6 years old, and he just complained of pain in his scrotum. I looked and noticed his right testicle appears very swollen. He said that he fell and hit the area. I dont know if this is just swelling from hitting it on something, or if I need to get him checked out for a hernia or something else ?
