Hello doctors! I've been experiencing slight testicular pain since 4 days. I consulted two doctors and got my tests done- such as urine analysis and an ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis region. While the reports are absolutely fine and the pain seemed to subside yesterday, today I feel a sweet pain once again in my right testicle. Prior to this, the pain also seemed to shift to the left one but today I feel it in my right one only. Also, I can't seem to understand if it's the regular size or is it swollen, however, I'm very scared. What should I do?

Please be reassured. Your urine test and ultrasound of abdomen and pelvis are normal, and a pain that shifts from one side to the other, comes and goes, and is mild is almost never due to a serious cause like torsion or a tumour. Such vague scrotal pain in young men is usually due to mild epididymal congestion, a small varicocele, a muscular or groin strain, prolonged sitting or riding, or referred pain, and quite often anxiety and repeated self examination make the discomfort worse. What will help is wearing snug supportive underwear, avoiding heavy lifting and long cycling for 2 weeks, and not repeatedly pressing or checking the testicles. You may take Tablet Paracetamol 500 mg after food if the pain bothers you, at most 3 times a day for 2 to 3 days. One thing that would be useful is a scrotal ultrasound with Doppler, as the abdomen and pelvis scan may not have covered the scrotum properly. Go to the emergency immediately if you develop sudden severe pain, marked swelling or hardness, redness, fever, vomiting, or a lump that does not go, as these need urgent evaluation. Otherwise please see a doctor for a physical examination, and you are welcome to consult me here (fee Rs 500).

Should be assessed even if earlier tests were normal, consult me with your reports so we can review the details and decide the next step, but sudden severe pain, swelling, vomiting or a high riding testicle needs urgent assessment.
