Hello,
Too much exercise and exertion in a child can cause a scrotal hernia. This kind of hernia presents as painless scrotal swelling. So better to consult a doctor and get done a clinical examination of abdomen and scrotum. He will also need an ultrasound abdomen and scrotum to confirm hernia. If the hernia is there, then he will need surgical repair.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
