Many men refer to keep certain matters private (especially when the matter pertains to anything hanging between their legs), but feeling a twinge of pain from time to time in the scrotum is quite common. If a man experiences this sort of pain and it disappears after a minute or two, he doesn’t have to worry. The testicles are very sensitive, and in all probability, one got bumped or twisted a bit, which caused this momentary pain. On the other hand, if he has any continuous pain, then he should go to see a doctor immediately. One of the more severe conditions that may be causing the pain is testicular torsion, where the testicle gets twisted around inside the scrotum and blood no longer flows into it. This is an emergency condition that needs to be treated very quickly. A more common cause of pain is epididymitis, which is an infection of the epididymis gland. The infection is easily diagnosed by a doctor and treated with antibiotics.
