What Causes Severe Pain In The Testicle After Walking For Long Distances?

Hi, I had to walk about two miles yesterday and towards the end of my walk I noticed my left testicle started hurting. It was quite mild, but now (the next day), my testicle hurts when I touch it or when it touches something (i.e. my leg). It isn t a constant pain, only when I sit or sleep in funny positions or when I touch it. I am 15 years old and this has never happened to me before. I am a very healthy young man; no medical history or issues whatsoever. I am also very active; I swim about three miles a day. I am a little concerned about this because I am scheduled to fly somewhere for vacation in two days and I was planning on going to the doctor of the pain didn t subside by YYYY@YYYY

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: May be a muscle pull/contusion to testis

Explanation: As you are physically very active, it may be a simple muscle pull. Or you might have injured your testicle unknowingly. So, take anti inflammatory drug for 2-3 days and wait. If it subsides its ok otherwise please visit a doctor for physical examination.
