Many things.: Acute scrotal pain can be caused by testicular torsion, infections such as epididymitis, orchitis or mumps, appendix testis torsion, cancer, hernia, hydrocele, spermatocele, varicocele & traumatic injury. If you have sudden pain, please see a physician since torsion or infection must be treated immediately. A physician will be able to assess the need for scrotal ultrasound & direct treatment.
