My testicle hurts. When should I see a doctor for testicle pain?

Testicular pain should always be seen and evaluated quickly to rule out testicular torsion. If the pain is severe and continuous, you need to be evaluated ideally within 4-6hrs of the pain beginning. If the blood flow to the testicle is being restricted, you risk losing the testicle the longer you wait to be evaluated. Ritz XV, PLLC
