Suggest remedy for pain and swelling in testicle
Patient: my son is 6 years old, and he just complained of pain in his scrotum. I looked and noticed his right testicle appears very swollen. He said that he fell and hit the area. I dont know if this is just swelling from hitting it on something, or if I need to get him checked out for a hernia or something else ? Doctor: Hello,  I feel this is a medical emergency. The possibilities are that it could be a testicular torsion or that it could be epididymitis. Please approach the nearest Emergency Room immediately.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Sumanth Amperayani, Pediatrician, Pulmonology
