What Could Be The Reason For Having Intermittent Stinging Of His Testes?

My 9year old son is complaining of intermittent stinging of his testes. He had an episode last year where one testicles retracted temporarily. He had an ultrasound scan and all was ok. He hasn t needed any pain killers, is not tearful, but said it comes and goes and they re uncomfortable if he touches them. He has checked that they re both descended and there is no swelling or redness just intermittent stinging and it s uncomfortable if he moves them.

Hello. I just read through your question.
It is possible that there may be some mild decrease in blood supply to the testicles that are causing this sensation. Any unusual sensation is important to have checked out. I recommend consulting with your doctor about this.
