Application of ice packs to the scrotum for the first 24 hours, followed by sitz baths helps in decreasing swelling. If the pain is severe, a rolled-up towel between the legs just under the scrotum may help in relieving pain and reducing swelling. Wearing a loose-fitting athletic supporter for daily activities can help reduce swelling as well. Avoiding excessive activity until the swelling disappears is also important.
