which doctor to consult for testicle pain - #27418
I am dealing with this nagging pain in my left testicle for like a week now and starting to freak out a bit. It started just as a mild ache but now it kinda feels like it's radiating a bit, and last night it woke me up, which was awful. I tried some hot compresses and that helped a bit but not completely. I don’t know, it might just be my paranoia but I'm worried that it could be something serious. I did some Googling and keep seeing stuff about possible torsion or infection, which makes me wonder, which doctor to consult for testicle pain? Like, is it better to see a urologist right away, or should I go to my primary care doc first? And would they even know what to do about testicle pain? It’s a bit embarrassing too, you know? What kind of tests do they usually do? Ultrasound maybe? I'm just really confused about which doctor to consult for testicle pain, I mean doesn’t that sound like something you don’t wanna wait on? Has anyone been through this or can share any experiences? Just feeling kinda lost and a bit scared, hoping someone can shed some light on this whole thing.
