Patient's question:
My son had physical education class this week and accidentally got kicked in the groin by a soccer ball. At the time, he felt some pain in the groin, but it went away after he went home. Yesterday, my son said he felt discomfort with his testicles hanging down, and it was particularly uncomfortable. So, I would like to ask the doctor what could be the reason for the discomfort with the testicles hanging down?Doctor's answer:
If the discomfort symptom of the testicle dropping down appeared again yesterday, it may be related to being kicked in the lower abdomen by a football previously. Although the pain disappeared after being kicked, it may have caused inflammation or blood clots to reappear inside the testicle. These conditions may lead to the testicle experiencing discomfort again. Since the discomfort symptom has already appeared again, it is recommended to visit a hospital first for a testicular ultrasound or CT scan to confirm the cause and receive treatment.
