testical pain

I just got some tesical pain, what could it be from?

[Ash Tewari, MD, M.Ch.]

Thank you for your question. I know this has been addressed on this forum previously. Testicular pain could be caused by a host of different things 1) hernia 2) trauma 3) torsion (twisting of the testicle) 4) epididymitis (an inflammation often caused by infection of the testicle 5) testicular tumor 6) kidney stone.

Testicular pain should be considered an emergency unless proven otherwise. It would be prudent for you to seek out the care of a health care practitioner.
