Having Pain And Hardness On The Testicles After A Ball Hit It. Treatment And Cause?

I am 15 years old, and for as long as I can remember, my testicles have been tender to touch, like when I was etc. Just today though, they became hard and numb and I can't feel no pain. I noticed when I got a football kicked in them today but it wasn't a hard kick, but I couldn't feel any pain at all. My mom said its probally puberty but I am unsure

Hi,
It is pretty unusual for testes to be devoid of sensation. They are in fact quite sensitive to pain. So considering that you had a lot of tenderness and now the testes are numb, I am a little apprehensive about what exactly is going on.
In my opinion the minimum you should undergo is a scrotal Doppler/USG to see the condition of the testes and their vascularity. If possible even a semen test would be very useful. Please revert back with the reports.
Thanks and get well soon.
