Chronic Groin Pain

Recieved oral sex and was diagnosed with an NGU, treated with Cipro, Doxy, and Azitro for a week to two weeks each. The initial symptoms were itching/burning in the urethra but did not burn while urinating. There was no discharge at all the only symptoms were the itching/burning. The NGU progressed to Epididimitis which was treated with Levofloxcian for 30 days. The only treatment that did anything was the levo but it did not fully clear up the pain in the testicles. After a few months the pain in the testicles went away and progress to the inner thigh area, it would only present itself after prolonged sitting or laying down. Urologist diagnosed Varicocele and performed surgery, during surgery he removed a lot of scare tissue from the urethra and said this could have been the cause for the pain along with the varicocele. It has been a week since surgery and the pain in the inner thighs is still present on both sides. This is the only symptom I have and I am wondering if this is normal or if I should contact him to look further into it. Total time from exposure to present day has been over a year so I believe the pain in the groin would be classified as chronic. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Aside from Fibrosis what other complications come to mind in this situation? Is it worth asking my urologist to try a longer course of antibiotics that fit the levo category as this was the only treatment that brought relief during the first exposure?

Hello d7777,

Non-gonococcal urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra which is not caused by gonorrheal infection. Sometimes, the infection can be very bad to manage and leading to complications. You need to get a MRI to rule out the chronic complications like fibrosis etc. Take painkillers like ibuprofen for managing pain.
