It can be awkward for some parents to discuss genital anatomy, sexual health, puberty, and adolescent development with their teens and preteens. However, you can make them understand that the pain in their genitals can be an emergency, and they should not hide it from you.
You may assure them that it is a part of growing up, and there is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. Encourage them to inform you about any testicular pain since early treatment is the best way to prevent permanent damage or loss of testicles (5).
