What Causes An Unpleasant Ache In The Testicles?

Hi Doctor, periodically one or both (usually my left) testical will hurt. More of an unpleasant ache. It seems to come out of no where or if I've been sitting for a while and leave about 5 to 20 minutes later. I am 32 now and have had this since as long as I can remember. Any insight? Thank you very much.
