Testicular pain

Important points to observe:

1. Intense to very severe pain in the testicular area, which may extend to the lower abdomen
2. Swelling and discoloration of the testicle (red to bluish)
3. Overheating of the testicle, possibly accompanied by fever in the boy
4. Possibly additional symptoms such as nausea and vomiting

1. Stay calm and provide a sense of security through continuous care
2. Respect the child’s privacy and ask uninvolved persons to leave the room
3. Avoid giving the child food or drink to prevent possible nausea from the pain and because a surgery may be necessary
4. Provide gentle cooling of the testicle with moist, cold cloths
5. Remove tight clothing to avoid pressure
6. Carry the boy if necessary to avoid any physical exertion
7. Important: In case of any testicular pain, a pediatrician should be consulted immediately to rule out circulatory disorders and minimize the risk of infertility.
