Testicle pain, or testicular pain, is pain that occurs in or around one or both testicles. Sometimes testicle pain actually originates from somewhere else in the groin or abdomen, and is felt in one or both testicles (referred pain).

One of the common conditions that affect the testicles is called epididymitis, which is an infection or irritation of the epididymitis. Epididymitis is often caused by a Sexually Transmitted Disease, but can also be related to an Enlarged Prostate, especially in older men. Epididymitis is characterized by a gradual onset of pain with redness and swelling of the scrotum. Other symptoms include nausea, fever, vomiting, painful urination and painful intercour

Home Care for Testicle Pain
Non-urgent causes of testicle pain, such as minor injuries and fluid collection, can often be treated with home care. The following steps may reduce discomfort and swelling:
-- Provide support to the scrotum by wearing an athletic supporter.
-- Apply ice to the scrotum.
-- Take warm baths if there are signs of swelling.
-- While lying down, place a rolled towel under your scrotum.
-- Try over-the-counter pain relievers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Do NOT give aspirin to children.

Preventive measures to take:
-- Prevent injury by wearing an athletic supporter during contact sports.
-- Follow safe sex practices. If you are diagnosed with chlamydia or another STD, all of your sexual partners need to be checked. If they are infected.
-- Make sure that children have received the MMR (mumps, measles, and rubella) vaccine.
