How can you care for yourself when you have a testicular contusion?
- Rest and protect your testicles and groin. Stop, change, or take a break from any activity that may be causing your pain or soreness.
- Put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
- Wear snug underwear or compression shorts to help support the injured area. You can use an athletic supporter if it helps relieve your pain.
- Ask your doctor if you can take an over-the-counter pain medicine, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), or naproxen (Aleve). Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
- If the doctor gave you a prescription medicine for pain, take it as prescribed.
