A sore and swollen testicle contained by a young man can be a torsion (the testicle twists on the spermatic cord, strangulating the blood supply).

It is a medical emergency.

The reality that it has get better in yesteryear does not mean that it is undamaging to leave this time.

There can be other cause for a sore swollen testis, but you should always assume that it is a torsion until proven otherwise.
i know someone beside this similar problem.i believe it is where near is some kind of build up (little chunks) and sometimes it really bothers him b/c of the extra solidity and it helps to wear supportive underwear to cart some of the pressure off...resembling boxer-briefs.i think a doctor can do an outpatient surgery to remove the problem...but your son may enjoy some other problem...just recounting you what i know.good luck
