Brief Answer: Trauma or stones Detailed Answer: Hi, The symptoms you suggest is out of 2 possibilities: 1) Check if he has fallen or hit his lower body against something or somethong like a ball has hit him. The trauma might be leading to bleeding and clots probabaly. 2) Second possibility is urinary stones which are trying to passout leading to pain. An ultrasound confirms the diagnosis of same.
