I'm really concerned because my wife, who's 6 weeks pregnant, had a bad toothache last night and ended up taking Zerodol SP. She's pretty worried now. Is that safe?

Testicular pain and size discrepancy can be concerning. *Possible Causes* 1. *Hydrocele*: Fluid accumulation in the testicle, causing swelling. 2. *Varicocele*: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, leading to swelling and pain. 3. *Orchitis*: Inflammation of the testicle, often due to infection. 4. *Epididymitis*: Inflammation of the epididymis, a tube behind the testicle. 5. *Testicular torsion*: A medical emergency where the testicle twists, cutting off blood flow. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult a urologist*: Schedule an appointment with a urologist to evaluate your symptoms. 2. *Physical examination*: A urologist will perform a physical examination to assess your testicles. 3. *Imaging tests*: Your urologist may order imaging tests, such as an ultrasound, to evaluate your testicles. 4. *Treatment*: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include medication, surgery, or other interventions. *When to Seek Emergency Care* 1. *Severe pain*: If you experience sudden, severe pain in your testicles. 2. *Swollen or tender testicle*: If your testicle is severely swollen or tender. 3. *Fever*: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C). 4. *Vomiting*: If you experience vomiting or nausea.
