General list of Urology Issues

This is my first post at Med Help. I am 45 years old, I would consider myself very heathly. I am lean and very active. Please excuse my slang terms used it is just easier for me to talk this way. Here is my problems...1. It's hard for me to pee. I actualy had a camera inserted where I did'nt know a camera could go. The result the doctor said it was all in my head. I admit I can not pee in front of people, I use to be able to but somewhere in my life that changed. I no longer try to pee standing up because I think I must be relaxed. I can be in my house all alone water running and I still have to relax to use the bathroom 2. My balls hurt often, my doctor says I have a high rider ball. Sometimes in bedroom exercises my ball will ride up very high and I have to stop and rub it back down. This does not hurt. As I sit here right now my left side of my groin region hurts, I have do nothing that should have caused this.
I do have an enlarged prostate, I tried taken medicine to help me pee but it does not help and I no longer take it.
Any advice?

"Paruresis (pronounced /pærjəˈriːsɪs/), also known as pee shyness, shy kidney, bashful bladder, stage fright, urophobia or shy bladder syndrome, is a type of phobia in which the sufferer is unable to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in a public restroom. It can affect both males and females. The analogous condition that affects bowel movement is called parcopresis"
"Actual treatments for the condition include:
* cognitive behavior therapy,
* training with biofeedback,
* anti-anxiety medications, and
* reducing the level of privacy at which the condition triggers by indulging in graduated exposure therapy. This last can be achieved by sufferers working together at organised events known as workshops"

You can also try simple measures like reading in the bathroom to help you relieve yourself easily. Over time, you may even be able to void successfully without actually having to open the book or the paper.
The testes can ascend toward the abdomen in times of stress, or in response to various stimuli, such as cold, strain, etc.
An enlarged prostate can cause difficulty in urination and can also cause pain in the groin.
You can try different medications that relieve the prostate-induced difficulty in urination. These include alpha blockers and 5alpha reductases.
Timed voiding, OTC agents like saw palmetto, avoidance of prostate irritants, such as caffeine, alcohol, citrus fruits, and spicy foods, can also help reduce the problem.
Do keep us posted on your doubts and progress.
