A member asked:

Hit in the groin with hockey puck and about an hour after the incident my testicles were really bruised, swollen, and painful. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Put ice: Direct trauma to your groin area can cause swelling and pain. Typically it will get better with ice, rest and anti-inflammatory medication like advil (ibuprofen) or motrin. If it does not seem to be getting better after a few days, you shoul dsee your doctor.
