Testicular pain: I do not know why you think you need to go to a private hospital. This sounds like a condition that can be easily treated by a primary care physician. The only emergency cause of nontraumatic testicular pain is testicular torsion, which almost always only affects one testicle, and the pain is excruciating. Torsion involves restricted blood supply to the testicle due to a twisted cord

Some basics: This is the public HT site where volunteer docs based primarily in the US answer questions about health conditions. We have no access to or information about healthcare insurance or providers around the world where this site is seen. You should contact a local doctor or clinic for advice on whether you need to go in. A call to your medical aid office can answer questions about coverage.
