This guide is educational information about men's health — it is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified doctor or urologist. It does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Get persistent, new, or worrying symptoms checked — don't avoid the doctor out of embarrassment. Seek urgent care for sudden, severe testicular pain or swelling (a possible torsion — a medical emergency), blood in your urine or semen, chest pain, or an inability to pass urine. In a medical emergency, call 911.
