A related discussion,
possible sti? was started.
Hu Dr. Liroff,
thanks for the reply. While I definitely think anxiety has played a major role, I do still have a dull ache in the groin area. Usually when sitting, and in the pereneium (not sure how to spell it). Also, my scrotum is definitely red and the hair follicles seam to be slightly raised and whitish. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Your symptoms do not sound to be related to an STI but are most likely anxiety related. As you focus on the area all sensations take on new and scary importance. Certainly the grinding may have caused some local irritation but that resolves fairly quickly (several days). Also, the constant checking of your genitals can be irritating. As you stated, you are at low risk for having contracted an STI.
S.A.Liroff, M.D.
Sorry, that last post was inaccurate. I realized I did masturbate last Saturday (3 days ago). At that time didn't look at semen so not sure if it had the thick consistency i described above or not. Not sure if that would matter. Again, I do apologize for adding so much to this thread in a non cohesive manner and I hope it is still clear. Thanks again.
And hopefully this is the last update. I hadn't had sex or masturbated for over a week (due to the uncomfortable tingly sensation and worries about exposure to my GF) and just recently masturbated. I noticed that my sperm for the most part looked normal, but there was some yellow "clumps" They weren't super hard, but more had the consistency of rice pudding. Looking online that appears to be a result of not ejaculating frequently, but just wanted to toss that in as another strange symptom I have never had before. No pain with the ejaculation at all though but tingly testicles still persist. Thanks again Doctor, I really am looking forward to a response to all of these questions.
The tingling sensation is back in the shaft and tip and base of testicles (on and off) and again is present mostly when sitting (more frequent when leaning back in a chair). Not as bad as before but definitely still present....
Also I should note that the tinglng has stopped but the preassure/uncomfortable feelng still occasionally is present when I am sitting or if I wear tight clothes (I.east might played soccer and had tight shorts on causing slight discomfort).
Hello Doctor. Have you by chance had an opportunity to look at this yet? Thanks again in advance for your help.
