What Could Be Cause Of Pain In Right Testicle Of Child?
Hi, my 9 year old son has been having pain in his right testicle only (he says is more like stabbing pains or like something hit him). This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. The pain is not severe but it comes and goes. Any idea on what could be causing this?

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Your history suggests that the child is suffering from EPIDEDIMO ORCHITIS,
It may be due to nonspecific infection or filariasis.
Night blood for microfilaria or QBC test for microfilaria and routine blood tests are needed.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
