Go to Family Doctor: There is absolutely no need to waste the expense and time at an emergency room. This problem should be managed by a family physician or a primary care specialist. This is the very reason one has a family doctor so that these kind of problems can be evaluated and followed over time.

Yes!: You could have a twisted testicle (torsion), or an infection of some part od the male "plumbing". Either situation is potentially very serious and needs evaluation and appropriate treatment in a timely manner.
