How Can I Relieve Testicle Pain Instantly?

To ease testicle pain quickly, you might try simple home care like resting and using a cold compress, but it's very important to see a doctor for the right care.

Explanation

If you are having testicle pain, some quick ways to help ease the discomfort at home include resting and putting a cold pack on the area. Wrap a cloth around a cold pack or even a bag of frozen vegetables and gently place it on your scrotum. This may help numb the pain and reduce swelling for a short time. Over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or an NSAID (if you can take them safely) might also help reduce pain and inflammation. However, testicle pain can come from many causes such as infection, injury, varicocele, or even a condition called testicular torsion. The methods above may give you temporary relief but are not a cure. It is very important to contact a doctor or go to an urgent care center if the pain is severe, sudden, or gets worse. A doctor can check you to find out what is making you feel pain and give you safe, proper treatment.
