Testicular Pain, Slight Swelling On Scrotum, No Redness. Cause?
My 14 years son has been complaining of pain in his right testicle . He had been feeling discomfort for a few days prior to letting me know yesterday. I checked his right scrotum and observed a slight swelling but today when I check again it was certainly tender. However, there was no redness or colour change. Many Thanks Basha
