My 12 year old son just started complaining about a pain around his testicles. He is a little swollen on the right side..not significantly.... not in a lot of pain.. just enough he says it bothers him to walk and the pain comes and goes. Is this something to be concerned. He very athletic and we just return from a carnival before he mentioned it to men I m wondering if he pulled a muscle or bruised himself.
Hi...it could be an epidymoorchitis, and it is an inflammation or infection of a structure behind the testicles. He definitely needs medical attention. Sometimes it can go into testicular torsion. I suggest you take him to emergency room, he will either require antibiotics or an ultra-sonogram. Regards -
