Pain in testicle
Pain in left testicle Yesterday I was having pain in my left testicle .The pain was mild so I ignored it.Today the pain increased.I went to Dr he checked it by hands and said it was orchitis.I came home and saw the left testicle was upward.I read on internet that it can be a torsion with mild pain.Do I need to worry and get an ultrasound?

Hello there.... Take over-the-counter pain medications... Over-the-counter painkillers such as paracetamol, can be used to relieve pain and swelling. ...Lie down on your back. ...Apply an ice pack to the area. ...Rest and avoid strenuous activities.... Especially avoid heavy weight lifting.... Provide support to the scrotum by wearing an athletic supporter.....While lying down, place a rolled towel under your scrotum.... Other treatment options will depend on the cause of your testis pain..... Consult Surgeon....
