Will the swelling go away?
I got hit by a basketball 6 days ago. Of course, it hurt at the moment for about 15 minutes but then I was ok. The next day I noticed around noon that my right testicle and the area around it was swollen and sore, especially when I am having to move around a lot at work. I have never had to deal with anything like this and obviously, it is embarrassing so I have not wanted to go to the hospital or urgent care or nothing, also I do not like going to hospitals for any reason! So I have been doing a lot of research online and I have read that usually it will go down within a few days and will usually heal itself as long as there are no other complications like trouble urinating or blood.

Trauma to the testicles can be quite serious if not properly examined. Depending on the result of the trauma, it can take 68 weeks for swelling to subside. While it is recommended to seek medical attention to ensure that that there is no blood pooling or risk of rupture or testicular torsion it is necessary to monitor pain levels for any increase, blood in your urine or difficulty urinating. If you experience any of these symptoms, urgent medical attention is required. Get Outlook for iOShttpsaka.mso0ukef
