Pain felt on one side of the testicle is usually caused by trauma or unilateral orchitis. Inflammatory stimulation can lead to pain in one testicle, accompanied by symptoms such as testicular enlargement and redness of the scrotal skin. If there is a history of trauma to the same-side testicle or scrotum, the pain is primarily due to injury sustained during physical activity or play. It could also be related to prostatitis or urinary system stones; these conditions may cause scrotal pain, thereby leading to pain in the testicle and epididymis.
