What should I do if my testicles are accidentally hit by the ball while playing ball?

Patient's question:

Yesterday, while playing dodgeball, I accidentally got hit in the testicle with the ball. It was very painful at first, but after about 30 seconds, the pain subsided. When I went to the doctor, there wasn't much difference. The only thing was that the right testicle I got hit felt a bit tender when I sat quietly. Today, I don't feel as much pain as yesterday, but I heard on the news that some people have them removed, and I'm scared. I want to ask if anything is wrong, and if it can be reversed. Now it doesn't hurt, and when I take a deep breath, I can see both testicles moving up and down quickly, but the right testicle is slightly higher than the left one normally. What's going on?
