Testicular Trauma: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment and More

Treatments for Testicular Trauma

If the testicles are injured, surgery is typically the main treatment option. During this procedure, the doctor may use anesthesia and make a cut in the scrotum to check the contents. For a torn testicle, he may close the affected area with stitches. When the trauma is so severe, however, the testicles cannot be repaired. These parts may be removed one or both of them to protect your life. If the diagnosis indicates that epididymitis is the affected part, surgery may be unnecessary. Anti-inflammatory medications and a jockstrap can help you relieve pain and recover. If needed, an antibiotic can be prescribed to alleviate swelling and inflammation. [8]
