pain in testicles at this age could be due to trauma or infections most commonly. if it is an acute event with sudden onset pain and colour change in his scrotal area, then it is advised that he is seen by a doctor immediately. if it is gradual with fever more of infection. his genitals along with a thorough abdomen examination will be done. if there is any suspicion, he might be directed for an ultrasound scan
