Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 65-year-old male taking Levothyroxine sodium for hypothyroidism. I have slight malaise, tiredness, stress. I was engaging in some rough and tumble horseplay two days ago with a friend when they accidentally reached out and grabbed my testicles. Just for a split second, it did not hurt much, but I had a very mild discomfort. There is no pain, no swelling, no bruising, or tenderness today, but I wonder if something like that could cause some kind of medical issue.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It is very unlikely to develop any complications, considering the mild nature of trauma, and it usually happens immediately after the trauma. As you mentioned that there are no residual symptoms, so it was no permanent damage. So if we think history-wise and from your description, it does not look like anything serious.
Patient's Query
Thanks doctor,
There is no pain, and will this area be quite strong and able to withstand mild trauma?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
No, this area is not strong, but it is quite flexible, movable, and it is a kind of shock absorber. Normal tests go up and down as well as sideways to quite an extent. So the outcome depends primarily on the nature of the trauma. Yours was such a that, and it did not damage testes significantly. However, if trauma causing the crushing of the testing, then it can even kill a person on the spot. But it has to be severe.
