The question

Dear My Testicles Hurt When Coughing. Did I Do Something?,

I'm 14 and I don't know who to tell all of this to. I've been sick for the past 2 weeks and have experienced coughing. Starting around Tuesday, my testicles have started hurting when i cough and sometimes whenever I walk. Did I do something to them? Do I have anything?
