What Causes Pain In Testicles?

My 11 year old will be 12 next month is complaining today of pain in his right testicle after his bath today. He says it still hurts and the pain just started today. He said if he moves his penis a certain way while using the bathroom it will hurt and if he touch it, it hurts. Is this a sign of puberty or something serious?

Pediatrician 's  Response
Hello.I just read through your question. though many cases of testicular pain turn out to be nothing serious, the pain can sometimes be due to torsion of the testicle. This is considered an emergency. If the pain is persistent, I recommend consulting with your doctor right away.
