Testicular Pain

It can be used as a diagnostic test to determine if the patient is appropriate for a more permanent treatment such as a microsurgical denervation of the spermatic cord. In some cases, the spermatic cord block itself can provide relief from pain lasting for days, weeks, or be permanent. Some men may need periodic spermatic cord blocks for treatment. A possible side effect to spermatic cord block is minor bruising at the injection site.
