Testical ache & inflammation

[james971]

Alright so a few days ago I was doing some manscaping, with scissors (never again) and cut my scrotum. It wasn't anything big, small cut and normal small amount of blood. I put some antibacterial ointment on it. then a few minutes later decided i should have washed it first, so i went back and washed it and reapplied the ointment.

So the next 2 days, I would wash it > apply hydrogen peroxide > antibacterial ointment. After just three days the skin is sealed up and you can no longer even see where the cut was.

However, last night I decided to celebrate and masturbate. When I woke up this morning I had a very light, dull and constant ache in my right testicle. While sitting down it feels warm/burning sensation, as if it's inflamed.

The wound itself never got infected but I'm worried if possibly my balls got an infection from that small cut (was not deep) or if maybe it's a strain/trauma type thing from freaking out over the cut. Maybe a small amount of swelling and slight tenderness.

Or do I just masturbate too often maybe?  I have a bad feeling my damn ball is infected.  My forehead feels slightly warm but no fever(yet).  Even if I did have a fever, my sister just got sick recently and for all I know a fever could be from that.

Heres the timeline:
Sunday night = cut >  wednesday night = wound fully healed on the outside > thursday morning = ball burning

Thanks

Hi J, you need to to a Urologist to make sure you did not sustain an infection called epididimytis! Or a staff infection caused by the cut. A simple exam or an ultrasound would show this. You should not wait on this ok. I work in Urology and I see this all the time..

I would have to think the probability of the two are totally unrelated, and there's a chance that you're freaking out because you just cut yourself in a very sensitive area.  I say this because there was no previously existing symptom that drew your attention - and I"m guessing you may not be allergic to your treatment as it's most likely that you had the "treatment items" laying around the house and you've used them before.

But - at the same time, sometimes multiple things transpire at the same time.  This is either related to chance, or it's a chain reaction.  By the time you read my response, a little bit of time would have passed - and the symptoms either got better or worse, and if they got worse - visit a doctor if you already haven't.  

I hope it's just a matter of over-focusing a little too intently and that nothing serious is developing - when things go afoul in "man areas" - they tend to be frightening and the anxiety alone is cause enough to make a trip to the ER!

Sometimes people can be allergic to "neosporin"... not sure if you used that or not.

Call a local hospital. Most hospitals actualy have "Telephone nurses" and they basically treat you as if you were there. They would be able to give you an idea of what the real issue is... and maybe they would just say to go to the ER. I hope things get better for you!

what is the name of the "antibacterial ointment" you used?
