Pain in the testicle when sleeping on one's side may be caused by varicocele, diseases, or other reasons. Patients should visit a specialized urology department for color Doppler ultrasound and blood tests to make an accurate diagnosis and select an appropriate sensitive antibiotic. It is advisable to wear loose-fitting underwear to maintain local comfort. Spicy and irritating foods should be avoided. Additionally, patients should maintain regular lifestyle habits, quit smoking and alcohol consumption, and reduce intake of spicy food; otherwise, the condition may worsen.
