A member asked:

I put a ice pack on my testicles with my underwear and a blanket in between thrm. i fell asleep for 3 hours. could there be any damage to the testicle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not: While this is not a good idea, the ice probably thawed out before it could do any damage. However, if you get any swelling or pain in the testicles, you need to see a doctor immediately.
