Get ultrasound: Most likely cause at your age probably would be a hydrocele. Other less cause could be an orchitis(inflammation). Testicular rumors are almost unheard of at your age. Best way to diagnose what is going in is to get a testicular ultrasound.

Why are both testicles hard? Checked for STDs. Also checked by my doctor who said they were tender. 4 months on, they are definitely rock hard still. I'm sure what my doctor felt was the thick sack (when they're cold). No lumps or pain, still worried?
