If the testicle has been hit and continues to ache, it can generally be treated by switching to loose-fitting underwear or taking levofloxacin. When this occurs, it is best to maintain a sitting position and minimize external pressure and irritation. Monitor the healing process first; if necessary, take anti-inflammatory painkillers for relief. If prolonged pain persists, this may indicate an infection, and it is recommended to undergo scrotal ultrasound and routine blood tests such as blood draws for laboratory examination.
