5. Testicular Torsion
This condition happens if your testicle gets twisted inside the scrotum. It’s a very painful condition, and many men compare the pain to being kicked hard between the legs. This is considered a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment to avoid complications.
The twist in the testicles can reduce the blood flow to the testicle and eventually cause it to do. If the condition is not treated within a couple of hours, the testicle may not be able to be saved. The pain is usually a result of the twisted testicle pulling against the groin.
While testicular torsion can happen to men of all ages, it is more common in teenagers, especially those that play sports. Surgery is often needed to correct this problem, and the group area may be sore for several days after the treatment. Once the testicle heals, the groin pain should subside relatively quickly.
