Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
The treatment of testicular pain will depend on underlying cause.Possible causes may include:
-Infections like epididymitis or orchitis.Just the fact that he is on a suprapubic catheter is a risk factor for infections.
-Diabetic neuropathy
-Hydrocele
-Hernia
-UTI/kidneys stones
-scrotal masses
I will suggest you get him examined by the Doctor.Depending on findings at physical examination, test may be asked to confirm diagnosis like urinalysis, scrotal ultrasound.I will suggest he take a pain/anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen or aceclofenac in the meantime.
Hope this will help
Best regards
