What Causes Pain And Twitching In Scrotum?

My 15 year old son has been experiencing pain and twitching in his scrotum. Started during a football camp (he wasn t hit there) and happened on and off during the week. Since he s been home from camp (2 days), it is happening less frequently. Wondering if we should have him checked by our doctor or if this is a normal occurrence during puberty

Thanks for asking in healthcaremagic forum

In short: May be a muscle pull/contusion of testis

Explanation: As your son is physically active it may be a simple muscle pull or may be a blunt injury to his testicles. So, give him anti-inflammatory/analgesic drugs for 2-3 days and wait. If it subsides then ok, otherwise take him to a doctor for physical examination.
