pain/discomfort and tingling of the testicles. Epididymitis? Posted: 08-12-07 13:59pm
I had symptoms of abdominal and lower back
pressure, but also a dull pain/discomfort
and tingling of the testicles.
The doctor diagnosed me with a bladder
infection but told me to go to the ER to
get an ultrasound to make sure there were
no twists because a bladder infection
usually doesn't come w/ testicular
discomfort.
Well my mother spoke against going to the
ER due to money and other issues. I'm
young and live with her so I had to follow
her instructions..And I figured if I had a
twist i'd feel severe pain and not just a
mild discomfort..
Well i'm on the antibiotics, but I still
have this tingling sensation and pressure
in my testicles, and after trying to
masturbate I only produce very little to
no ejaculate. Which freaks me the hell out
lol.
I'm going for a second opinion tomorrow, I
just hope that in the few days i've waited
that no permanent damage has been done,
perhaps poor blood circulation.
My urine tests did show I had an
infection, so maybe this is epididymitis?

Sounds like you'll know more after your
appointment.
May I suggest taking probiotics after
you're done with the antibiotics.
Antibiotics kill all bacteria including
the good ones (probiotics) that live in
your body. They're very important to
digestion, assimilation and the immune
system, and prevent infections from
reoccurring. You can get them at health
stores. Take them according to directions
(though you can increase the dosage for
the first couple weeks to hasten
replanting) and drink with a good amount
of water to diminish stomach acids. Look
for multistrain probiotics with enteric
coating.

Thank you for the reply and advice.
I'm just worried that something else could
be wrong and already done some damage.
