TREATMENT (Ayurvedic)

Ayurveda approaches testicular pain by addressing the underlying causes and imbalances in the body’s doshas.

Herbal Remedies: Ayurvedic herbs like Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris), Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), and Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) may help reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and support overall reproductive health.
Dietary Modifications: Follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help flush out toxins from the body.
Warm Compress: Applying a warm compress to the affected area can help reduce pain and inflammation in the testicles. Use a clean cloth soaked in warm water and apply it to the groin area for 10-15 minutes several times a day.
Lifestyle Changes: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises to promote relaxation and reduce tension in the pelvic area.
Avoid Tight Clothing: Wearing tight-fitting underwear or clothing can restrict blood flow to the testicles and worsen pain. Opt for loose-fitting, breathable fabrics to promote proper circulation.
Avoid Prolonged Sitting: Sitting for long periods, especially on hard surfaces, can exacerbate testicular pain. Take regular breaks to stand up, stretch, and walk around to improve blood flow to the pelvic region.
