Brief Answer:
it may be inguinal hernia or inflammation

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

First, inguinal hernia should be ruled out since this is very common condition. You should see surgeon for that. other possible causes are urologic and include epididimits, prostatitis or orchitis. To verify exact diagnosis you should do ultrasound and urine analysis. All in all it doesn't sound worrying but if symptoms persist,you should do tests I have mentioned.

Wish you good health. Regards
