Brief Answer:
It can be torsion or testicular hematoma.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In of details of event , I am really worried about testicular torsion.This happens due to twisting of testis along its axis cutting off the blood supply due to rotation.This is kind of emergency as testis can undergo necrosis.A doppler evaluation can confirm the diagnosis.I would suggest you to rush to hospital.It is worth going to hospital even if doesn't turn out torsion later.

Possibility of testicular hematoma is also there , but it seems little less likely.During doppler doctor can even rule this out.

So rush to hospital and see doctor asap.

If there are doubts.Please ask.Regards.
