Hi,
Testicle are very sensitive and even a minor injury can cause
testicle pain. Pain may develop from within the testicle itself or from the coiled tube and supporting tissue behind the testicle known as epididymis. Sometimes, testicle pain is caused by a problem which begins in the abdomen, groin or somewhere else like kidney stones, hernia etc.
Causes of persistent testicle pain or pain in the testicle area are injury or blow to the testicles, extreme work out, epididymitis or inflammation of epididymis, orchitis or inflamed testicle,
testicular torsion, idiopathic or unknown cause of
testicular pain, hydrocele, inguinal hernia, kidney stones, prostatitis,
urinary tract infections, scrotal masses, spermatocele, varicocele etc. Treatment depends on causes.
Some investigations like
testicular ultrasound, CT scan of kidney, ureter, bladder region; X-ray of KUB region, urethral swab for C/S, urine R/M/E and C/S etc to find out the underlying causes for persistent testicular pain and then treat them accordingly. For pain relief, painkillers like ibuprofen, naproxen or diclofenac can be taken with antiulcerant.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
