Question 1

what kind of doctor should i see having testicle pain ?

Accepted Answer

A urologist: Urologists are physicians who treat problems associated with the urinary tract and genitalia. General surgeons take care of groin hernias, which can be associated with testicular pain or discomfort. Hernia should be suspected if you experience a groin or scrotal bulge when you cough or sneeze, but disappears when lying down.

Question 3

should i see a specialist for 3 hours of testicle pain, or can my regular doctor take care of it?

Accepted Answer

Testicular Pain: I would see your regular doctor first to see if he can help and let this doctor decide if you need a specialist.

Question 4

left testicle pain, over 24 hrs.  no known cause.  pain is tolerable but definitely uncomfortable.  possible causes?  when should i see a doctor?

See your doctor: See your doctor now. You might have testicular torsion and prompt attention is required to prevent loss of the organ. Other causes might be hernia, prostatitis, kidney stones or hydrocele.

Question 5

boyfriend has testicular pain and a lump on his testicle. what doctor should he see?

Accepted Answer

Urologist: Most likely a harmless epididymal cyst or so called spermatocele. Physical examination and/or ultrasound will tell.

Question 6

hello,
im having sudden sharp and stabbing testicle pain. it has been going for a week now. im a healthy 18 years old. the doctor took an image to see if there is any torsion and he said everything is normal. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

: Pain persists for one week sounds concern. At least, you already had the ultrasound, I assume, done so torsion was ruled out. 
Did the doctor do a thorough exam on the affected testicle? Do you feel anything when you palpate your scrotum and do you have any constitutional symptom such as fever or chill ...?
Sometimes, pain at the genital area could be a referred pain from the upper urinary tract.

Question 7

is it worth a trip to the doctor for testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Persistent pain in any part of the body needs to be evaluated for cause.

Question 8

what kind of doctor sees somebody for testicle pain?

Accepted Answer

Urology: You can start with your primary care doctor.  
In general they can get you started in the right direction and treat the most common causes.  Urology is the most common specialist, although I have seen nerve problems in the back radiate to the testicle.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: likely a hydrocele (pocket of fluid trapped in scrotum)---- needs an ultrasound to rule out other possible diagnoses

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Epididymitis: This is a common infection of the tubing in the scrotum. If they are feverish or if the pain is worsening he may need to be seen sooner.
