Testicular Pain
In these cases, it is necessary to check the size of the inguinal rings and have the patient cough to rule out a
sliding inguinal hernia. If the pain is steady, it may be due to L2 or L3 radiculopathy from a herniated lumbar disc or spinal cord tumor. If it is
intermittent, one should consider the possibility of a renal calculus. A dermatomal rash would suggest herpes zoster. If the cremasteric reflex is
absent on the side of the pain, consider the possibility of torsion of the testicle.
