A member asked:

When i'm sitting, i get sharp pains in my testicles. i don't think i'm sitting on them. could it be my briefs/jeans? could this be serious/worrisome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps: I would really try boxers and non-tight pants for the next 1-2 weeks and see if this helps. I wouldn't worry about it too much, but if the pain becomes constant, I would seek medical attention.
