I think it's Epididymitis.
Epididymitis is swelling (inflammation) of the epididymis, the tube that connects the testicle with the vas deferens.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Epididymitis is most common in young men ages 19 - 35. It is a major cause of hospital admissions in the military.
Epididymitis is usually caused by the spread of a bacterial infection from the urethra or the bladder. The most common infections that cause this condition in young heterosexual men are gonorrhea and chlamydia. In children and older men,E. coli and similar infections are much more common. This is also true in homosexual men.
Epididymitis may begin with a low-grade fever, chills, and a heavy sensation in the testicle area. The area becomes more and more sensitive to pressure.
Other symptoms include:
Blood in the semen
Discharge from the urethra (the opening at the end of the penis)
Discomfort in the lower abdomen or pelvis
Fever
Groin pain
Lump in the testicle
Pain during ejaculation
Pain or burning during urination
Painful scrotal swelling (epididymis is enlarged)
Tender, swollen groin area on affected side
Testicle pain that gets worse during a bowel movement

If not treated can cause Death of testicular tissue due to lack of blood (testicular infarction) or Infertility.
In any case if you've got a very big pain in your testicles - the Emergency need to be called and there's nothing shameful here - it's the case for urgent hospitalization.
