Testicular Pain: A Comprehensive Guide to its Ten Causes

4. Cancer

Men should see a doctor whenever they experience testicle pain, as it is possible a more serious issue is at play. Although it is rare, pain in the testicles can be a symptom of testicular cancer. Symptoms of testicular cancer include:

• Growth or enlargement of either testicle
• Heavy feeling in the scrotum
• Dull ache in the abdomen or groin
• Sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
• Pain or discomfort in either the testicle or scrotum
• Back pain

Any testicle pain should be reported to a medical professional, and pain that persists for more than two weeks could indicate cancer.
