What Causes Pain And Burning In The Testicles?
Hello, my 4 year old son went swimming today for about 5 hours and when he came home he was crying and screaming that his testicles were hurting and burning. They are very red and irritated looking. After his warm bath I put hydrocortisone on them but he is still crying that they hurt. Do you have any idea what could be wrong? I already cut the netting out of his swim trunks weeks ago so it could not be the netting. Thank you.

Hello,
It could be an attack of orchitis. Consult a general surgeon or a urologist and get evaluated. A scrotal Doppler is required for further assessment. Nothing much to worry and most cases respond well to antibiotics.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
