What pain relief medicine is best for testicular aches?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Determine cause: Have your physician determine the cause of the aching and then treat appropriately. It may be due to over activity, testicular torsion, a tumor, epididymitis, orchitis, or other factors. Get it checked out.

Careful exam a must: Feel for masses in the testes, to rule out seminoma. Inflammation (orchitis), hydrocoele, spermatic cord mass, or hernias cause testicular pain. Please consult with your family doctor or urologist for persistent pain. Severe pain may indicate torsion of a testicle. Anti-inflammatories (advil, motrin) are indicated first. A low dose opioid (hydrocodone 5mg/500 apap) can be used
