What should I do if I accidentally get hit in the testicles with a tool?

Patient's question:

At 11 a.m., I was training and accidentally hit my testicles with a tool. Right away, I noticed a slight indentation, and the pain was so intense that I broke into a cold sweat. It's been almost 8 hours now, and the pain is still there, though it's more of a dull ache. It hurts a bit when I touch it, and it also hurts when I just woke up from a full sleep and need to urinate urgently. Did the report come out with any problems? Could this lead to testicular necrosis?!! I'm sorry because this is a private area, and I'm extra worried that the ultrasound machine or doctor in the local city might not work properly, resulting in an inaccurate diagnosis. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The consideration should not be a major issue. Testicular injuries are not uncommon, and when blood supply is affected, the likelihood of abscess formation is higher. However, most injuries generally do not lead to abscesses. But it is necessary to rest for a while and closely monitor any changes in the testicle. If the pain gradually decreases, and a careful ultrasound examination shows minimal effusion, and the blood supply to the testicle is good, there is no need to worry. Wishing you good health. You should go to a professional and reputable hospital for diagnosis immediately. Treatment options will be considered based on the examination results. Also, avoid sexual activity and maintain a positive mood.
