Sexual Dysfunction / Possible varicocele
by kvbrock82, Aug 21, 2009 09:18AM
I have had a pain in my testicles radiating from left to right for the past 7 months. It started mildly and continued to progressively get worse until i visited my GP. He gave me levoflaxin and i almost recovered only to get worse again. I then developed a white discharge. He gave me Zithromax and i was fine for a few weeks. The discharge and pain stopped and i regained my libido and erections.
Now once again the pain has started and i took Zithromax again but it has not helped my problem. Ive had a swab taken from my urethrea and some inflammation was confirmed. I have done 2 ultrasounds and they both show no signs of varicoceles. Could it be that that have missed them both times? What are the chances of this? I have done tests for STDs and everything has come out negative. I did a transrectal prostatic ultrasound and everything is normal there too. The doctors are telling me its all in my head but i cannot live with this pain and complete loss of libido any longer. My penis feels almost non-existent and i am also developing balanitis from this. I have close to zero libido. I am starting to think that whatever caused this has hit my hormones and i am wondering if i should do a full blood checkup to see my balances.
I have also noticed that the veins on my penis are more visible, especially a long large blue one towards the upper left all the way down the shaft. I am not sure but i think my testicles have lost a little bit of size but i will have to confirm this with another ultrasound. I also feel that i am losing more hair than i used to, but its difficult to tell if it is just me being paranoid or not. I also feel like i am finding it harder to lose weight, which is further strengthening my thoughts that whatever this is has hit my testosterone. I think about this from the moment i wake up to the moment i go to bed. Im not sure how much longer i can go on like this. I dont care about the pain cos i can live with that. I just cant handle the fact that i have no sex drive and am almost completely impotent except when i take Cialis, and even then sex is nothing like it used to be.
Can anyone help me?

Zero morning erections unless i take cialis
Around four years ago i remember i had a phase which lasted about a month in which my libido crashed. I was unable to get an erection all month.I did not feel any pain.
More recently, last year, i had a case of balanitis coupled with once again the complete loss of libido. It cleared up with canestan and my libido returned instantly. Could these be related to what i am experiencing now? I have been like this for months and it is really beginning to play with my head now.
Some please help me.
Thank you..
