Pain in BOTH testicles and ED/pain in penis
I am a 30 year old male who has a condition that no two doctors can agree on. I have pain in both testicles and I have been hit with ED in the process. I have been to numerous urologists but none seem to know what is wrong-other than the symptoms.
The following is a detailed history regarding my current problem(s):
My girlfriend was diagnosed with Chlamydia in 1995- we were both given Doxycycline 100mg x days. This cleared up the problem.
In 2001, my next girlfriend and I were together for 3 years. After our first sexual contact, it was about 6-8 weeks that I noticed a sting in the penis-especially at the tip. I asked her to go see a doctor because my kidneys and urinary system were in extreme pain. She came back with Doxycycline 100mg and we both took it for 10 days. Again, all seemed well.
The summer of 2003 rolled around and I noticed a familiar pain coming back. Only this time it was deeper in the penis. The pain was and still is between the meatus and the shaft. But that wasn

It would be difficult to come up with something different without examination, considering you have already been to several physicians.
There are cases of prostatitis that is very difficult to diagnose and treat. Despite what the previous urologist said, I would further investigate this. A transrectal ultrasound can be considered to image the prostate for any signs of an abscess. If this is present, it would need to be drained as antibiotics will not be helpful in these cases.
The other consideration is that there is no infection present. Conditions like a urethral stricture or urethral polyp can cause discomfort in the tip of the penis. You can consider a cystoscopy to evaluate for these possibilities.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with another urology evaluation.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
