Testicle pain can have various causes, including infections or inflammation. In your case, it is important to rule out any underlying infection. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should consider using a scrotal support to alleviate discomfort. It is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and treatment, as you may need antibiotics if there is an infection present.

Is it safe to have sex if my partner has had phimosis since birth or is surgery the only option to fix it

Yes, it's generally safe to have sex with phimosis, but it might be uncomfortable or painful depending on the severity. Surgery (circumcision) is a common treatment option, but it's not always necessary. Mild phimosis may not require intervention and can be managed with proper hygiene and gentle stretching.
