Self-Care at Home
In general, see your health care provider immediately if you have sudden onset of testicular pain, particularly if the pain is severe or associated with nausea.
Apply an ice pack to your scrotum to help relieve pain and swelling. Ice packs have been shown to increase the time that a testicle can survive with decreased blood flow. Wrap the ice in a cloth. Do not place the ice directly on your scrotum.
Pain medicines such as ibuprofen ( Motrin, Advil) and acetaminophen ( Tylenol) also may help temporarily.
