undiagnosed pain in testicles and shaft

[annedesigner]

My son, 20 years old, has been having mild pain in his testicles and penis shaft for more than a year.  He has been diagnosed with chlymidia, hernia (which he did not have), and prostatitis. The urologist he was seeing did examine his prostate and said it was enlarged.  He has taken a number of antbiotics such as Doxycyclin, has had a number of tests including a CT scan and a procedure where a scope was inserted through his urethra and up into his bladder.  The urologist did not find anything.  His pain in worse after ejaculation and sometimes he has trouble urinating (burning and weak stream).  His urologist seems to think his problems are psychosomatic.  He has seen a psychiatrist and was treated for  anxiety disorder with Klonopin which helped somewhat but he is now off that.  Are there any other tests that you would recommend?

It sounds as though your son has had a very complete work-up with negative findings. That he improved on klonopin certainly suggests that his symptoms are emotionally caused. He may need to stay on this or a similar medication. I think that he should go back to a psychiatrist to get further help.
