What are the reasons for testicular swelling in children?

Patient's question:

I recently had pain and itching in my testicles. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I was diagnosed with orchitis. What could be the reason for the swelling of a child's testicles?

Doctor's answer:

In this case, it is highly likely that the child collided with the testicle while playing outdoors, resulting in an injury to the testicle. This is the most common cause of testicular swelling in children. Currently, it is suspected that the child may have hit the testicle while playing outside. It is recommended that you carefully inquire about the child's condition. If it is a blunt trauma injury and there appears to be no severe damage externally, it may be temporarily advisable to wait and see for a few days.
