What Causes Pubic Area Pain With An Undescended Testicle?
My six year old woke up screaming during the night and in great discomfort. Had a pain behing his pubic area and one of his testicle was nowhere to be found. Went up somewhere. His movement is alot better now, i.e. walking and going to the toilet but still not as bouncy as he should be. Should we take him to hospital or just see how he goes for the rest of the day?

yes you should take hin to hospital. is there any redness or increased temperature near scrotum?? your son needs to be evaluated for torsion of testis,infection ,abdominal testes. if testes are abdominal they need to be brought in scrotum there is chance that they might turn into melignant. torsion of testes needs immidiate surgical intervention.
