Yes: Severe testis pain can be a serious condition. If a torsion of the testis is missed then that may lead to testis loss. The incidence of testis torsion in older adults is much lower than young children and adolescents, but it is not unheard of. If pain is from an infection, it has to be treated or it can lead to more serious infection. It is important to obtain an accurate history/phys & sono.
