Specializes in Urology

Yes.: Testicular pain should get you to your primary care doctor's office for an evaluation. An ultrasound, urine tests, & a history & physical examination are necessary to rule out the common causes of testicular discomfort. If pain persists and your workup is negative you should see a urologist to evaluate/manage you further.
