What Causes Tenderness In Testicles?

My boyfriend has been complaining about his right testical being tender and he has mentioned it a few times now. It began a few months ago and i have been asking him to check it out but he said he is waiting for his health insurance to start but i dont think he should wait. I just looked on line about his symptoms and its all about cancer and i just recently discovered that lukimia starts in the testicals and his father died of lukimia and that makes me more concerned. I just want to know if this could just be something normal at his age he is 45 years old
