Failure of the testes to descend into the scrotal sac is called cryptorchidism. Inguinal hernia is a protrusion of abdominal contents through the inguinal canal. Testicular torsion is a twisting of the spermatic cord that causes a sudden onset of severe testicular pain. Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, a tube at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. Hypogonadism is a condition in which the body does not produce enough testosterone.
