Treating a bruised testicle involves immediate rest and refraining from activities that could aggravate the condition. Apply ice wrapped in a cloth to reduce swelling and pain for 15-20 minutes every hour during the first 24-48 hours. Wear supportive underwear to reduce discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relief such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be helpful. If symptoms persist, including severe pain or swelling, seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions.
