Scrotal Contusion
Scrotal contusion is bleeding and brusing in the scrotum or testicles. This occurs after a direct impact to the area from a ball or opponent.
Symptoms of a Scrotal Contusion
- Severe pain on impact.
- Nausea.
- Swelling in testicle.
- Bruising.
- Tenderness for several days.
Treatment
Treatment of a scrotal contusion is to rest and allow it to heal naturally. In the vast majority of cases there are no side effects or long-term problems following such an injury.
Painkillers and cold packs or baths may be recommended by a Doctor to ease pain, bleeding and swelling.
If there are any unusual symptoms immediately or in the weeks following the injury, seek medical attention.
