Question

Why does my son has pain in his right t******e? he's only 12 years old!?

Answer 1

Well I know this sounds stupid but I told my mom that at the same age and she said to ask my brother , he told me I needed to......... and I had no idea what he was talking about. Of course I do now. Could be BluBls. This is maturity, and who knows there might be truth to it.

Answer 2

There are two kinds of pain- acute and chronic.

If he is having acute, agonizing pain, go to the hospital- he may have a testicular torsion, which is an emergency.

If he is having pain on and off, which hurts but isn't horrible, it is a part of going through puberty.  Guys report that they have testicular pains on and off during puberty.  It's a normal "growing pain" type of thing.

Answer 3

I'm assuming your son sees a pediatriian annually, if for nothing else, then for school exams.  I think you should ask his doctor about that.  It can be caused by a number of things and should not be guessed at, as to why it hurts.  You wouldn't want to be ignoring something that can be causing damage to him.
