my 16 year old sons concerned

Received a text yesterday from my 16 year old son, he has had a couple of instances lately where he has described a dull ache in one testicle.  i feel he is just begining his explorations, if you know what i mean!  He has looked up symptoms and is concerned he has a trosion of the testicle.  Any advise for this MOM


This discussion is related to One Testicle hanging much lower than other.

many things can cause symptoms like this. even just exercising/sports can cause it. certainly I wouldn't be thinking cancer as a concern at his age!!

he certainly should be seen.  Also encourage him to let his provider know that he is starting to be sexually active so that they can advise him on how to protect himself too. he should always be having protected sexual contact. We recommend if your pants are off, a condom should be on!!!  also if he hasn't had his gardasil shots for hpv yet, now is the time for him to start the series.
