Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should consider using a scrotal support to alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as you may need antibiotics if there is an infection present.

I'm a 29-year-old male and I've never been able to pull my foreskin back when erect, though I can stretch it to the level shown in the picture when flaccid. My main concerns are do I need surgery or can this be managed with stretching exercises and creams? Also, is this because of a tight foreskin or a short frenulum breve like in the picture?
