Testicular pain during sleep can be caused by conditions such as testicular torsion. In adolescent patients, testicular torsion is relatively common. Especially during nighttime sleep, when the body is in a completely relaxed state, suddenly turning over may lead to compression or traction of the testicle. Some cases are also due to bacterial infections causing internal inflammation, which may result in chronic symptoms, severe pain, and typically a short duration of symptoms.
