A member asked:

Could i have ruptured my own testicle? i've been really anxious after i had some numb in my right testicle and worried that it would die, i started tapping it every so often to see if it hurts. last night i squeezed it and now it's swollen. no fever?

You will pass out when your testicle ruptures. Anyone practices martial arts and gets a kick in the genital area will acknowledge that fact even the testicle is not broken yet. No, you can't break your testis with squeezing. Watch that testicle for now, apply cold pack 10-15 minutes several times in the next 24 hours. If the swelling gets worse, see your doctor.

You cannot rupture your testicle by what you describe. You probably caused blunt trauma which caused the swelling. Wear a good support,, use local heat, rest, tale ibuprofen- and it should get better in a few days. If it is not relived or any other symptom go to ER. I think you will be OK. Pl do not' man-handle' your testicles in the future. See an MD if you have a problem
