Answer: Hello 

Scrotaltesticular pain can be caused by a number of conditions what other symptoms do you have Is the pain in one or both 

Orchitis is an inflammation of the testicles It can be caused by either bacteria or a virus Also the fact that you have had it for a year isnt exactly in keeping with that particular diagnosis 

My advise is that you visit a physician preferably a urologist ASAP who will examine you possibly request some tests and prescribe appropriate medications because I believe your condition might require immediate treatment to avoid permanent damage
