The testicle was struck and is very painful. Please go to the hospital for a scrotal ultrasound (B-mode ultrasound) to determine whether there is testicular rupture. If rupture is confirmed, emergency surgical intervention is typically recommended. If no rupture is present and only minor injury has occurred—with the overall testicular structure remaining intact—conservative management at home is usually appropriate; there is generally no need for excessive concern. However, strenuous physical activity should be avoided, local hygiene must be maintained, and pain symptoms typically resolve spontaneously over time.
