From Dr. Koop (used to be Surgeon General)

Testicle pain
Definition:
Testicle pain is discomfort in one or both testicles. The pain sometimes radiates to the lower abdomen.
Testicle pain
Pain may also be caused by a hernia or an unrelieved erection
Testicle pain
Testicular cancer is usually painless. But any testicle lump should be evaluated by your doctor, whether or not there is pain.
Alternative Names:
Pain - testicle(s)
Considerations:
The testicles sit inside the scrotum. Theyà are very sensitive. Even a minor injury can cause pain or discomfort to the testicles.à Sudden, severe testicle pain, however,à requires immediate medical care.
If a young man has abdominal pain, the scrotum should always be carefully examined. Abdominal pain may occur before testicle pain in some conditions, including testicular torsion. This is a twisting of the testicles that can cut off the blood supply and cause tissue to die. Testicular torsion is an emergency that needs to beà treated within hours.
Common Causes:
Common causes of testicle pain include:
* Injury
* Infection or inflammation
* Testicular torsion -- most common in young men between 10 and 20 years old
Possible infections include:
* Epididymitis -- inflammation of the ducts through which sperm leaves the testicle. This is often caused by bacteria like chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease.
* Orchitis -- inflammation of one or both testicles, which may be caused by bacteria or a virus like mumps. Orchitis can occur at the same time as epididymitis or prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland).
Fluid in the testicles often causes painless swelling, but may cause mild discomfort. There are several main types of fluid collection:
* Varicocele -- enlarged veins in the scrotum that carry blood away from the testicles.
* Spermatocele -- fluid in the epididymis that forms a cyst and often contains dead sperm cells.
* Hydrocele -- fluid in the area inside the scrotum, surrounding the testicle; common in newborns.

If a young man has abdominal pain, the scrotum should always be carefully examined. Abdominal pain may occur before testicle pain in some conditions, such as testicular torsion. This is a twisting of the testicles that can cut off their blood supply, causing tissue to die within hours. If tissue does die, then fertility may be affected, and the testicle may have to be removed.
Testicular cancer is usually painless. But any testicle lump should be evaluated by your doctor, whether or not there is pain.
If the pain doesn't go in a few days I would recommend seeing a Doctor.

Other, less common causes of testicular pain include the following:
Hernia: Part of your intestine intrudes into the scrotum. This may cause pain if it threatens your blood supply.
Orchitis: This condition can cause infection and inflammation of the testicle. This is sometimes found along with epididymitis, especially when epididymitis has gone untreated for days. Orchitis also may occur with a viral infection, particularly mumps.
Testicular tumor: A tumor rarely causes pain but can cause swelling. Conduct regular self-examinations to locate lumps at an early, highly treatable stage.
Infections or bleeding in the abdomen: This rarely causes testicular pain.

No, but it may be an infection of the vans defferens or even a chance it could be testicular cancer. talk to your doctor.
