My son is 9 years old and has had this problem off and on for the last year or so. His testicle will enlarge and right above the sac it is painful when barely pressed on. He has seen a physician about this about 6 months ago and he said it wasn't anything to worry about but at the time of the actual appointment the swelling had gone down. My son said it feels heavier on that side and it looks huge compared to the other side. He also tends to have a stinging sensation while urinating and about 3 times a week he will complain of his penis just stinging and hurting. Is this just something that happens to growing boys or is there a possible problem?
