Causes:
Testicle pain has a number of possible causes. The testicles are very sensitive, and even a minor injury can cause testicle pain or discomfort. Pain might arise from within the testicle itself or from the coiled tube and supporting tissue behind the testicle. You need to see a urologist for further evaluation.

There are many causes to testicular pain. Infection of the testicle or epididymis are one of the common causes of these symptoms. If you notice any difference between the left and right testicle on examination, that could be a sign of a more serious problem such as testicular cancer. If your symptoms continue, I recommend visiting your primary care physician or a urologist to get a better assessment.
