Is it normal to have sore testicles?

I have sore testicles, BUT I am not sexually active (I'm still a virgin). I have checked for lumps and there are none; actually visually the testicles appear normal. Should I be worried?

It's not very very intense, just a mild sensation. Like the feeling one gets after being kicked there, but after maybe three to five minutes.

Please help!

    not to be an alarmist but go see the doctor. it might be nothing but it can also be testicular cancer. this cancer is most common in ages teens to mid 30's. There may not be a lump that you are able to feel. They will do an ultrasound and make sure your balls are ok.

    some guys have had cancer spread because they are too shy to see a doctor. look, doctors see everything, so go and get it checked. i hope you'll post back on what the problem was. hopefully just an infection like someone else suggested.

    Dude i have had and stil have the same pains. But mine gets so bad that i cant stand and i saw my gp about it. He said i have an infection and he gave me antibiotics. After 2weeks it went away and then returned after a while but soon went away. The only way to find out is to see your doctor. I know of cases where the sperm cords got twisted and people lost their testicle. So go to a doctor a.s.a.p. Its awkward but its worth it.

    Sounds like 'blue balls'

    If you don't masturbate often enough, there is your answer, it is unhealthy not to do it enough.

    If you do do it at least weekly, see a doctor

    Do you play sports without a cup? You could have injured them.

    You don't masturbate enough.

    Kidding, I suggest you see a doctor for that problem.

    See your MD. BTW, good for you for checking your testicles; keep it up. Doing that could save your life if you notice anything different. Peace out!
