Hi,
Thanks for writing in. Symptoms like foul smelling urine, discharge and swelling of testicles suggest infection, but even if they are not present that does not rule out infection. You need to get checked by a urologist for epididymitis, varicocele, urethritis and orchitis, all of which is done by physical examination and certain investigations as mentioned in the earlier post.
Best.
Thanks for the reply. There is no swelling, discharge or foul smelling urine. And these are all thing that i have been looking for after reading online at the beginning. As for pain after ejaculation i have also not noticed anything. There is sometimes a tingling on the scrotum that comes and goes but isnt that often. I am setting up an appointment with a Urologist this week. Is there anything else that you can recommend that they look into. I would like to be as prepared as i can when i go in.
Thanks so much
Hi,
Thanks for writing in. Pain and discomfort in the testicle as well as discomfort in the pubic region is suggestive of infection. Infection could either be routine UTI or STD. Also, itching near the anus suggests of yeast infection. All this needs to be confirmed first. And that needs proper evaluation and physical examination by a urologist.
Is there any swelling, urethral discharge, foul smelling urine? Has the pain been more evident after ejaculation?
I would suggest that you get a urine analysis with culture and a STD panel done along with a scrotal ultrasound and visit a urologist for further assistance.
Best.
