Urinary-genital infection
If you continue like this, doctors will try all the antibiotics on you. Antibiotics are given for treating infections but you didn’t give me any proof that you have an infection. Testicular pain and yellow urethral discharge may suggest that you have some urinary-genital infection but any infection should be proved by a microbiological or serological examination. Microbiological examinations are done in order to isolate the bacterium and if a bacterium is isolated, its sensitivity to various antibiotics is tested in order to choose the proper antibiotic for treatment. Some bacteria (Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Ureoplasma…) can not be isolated but their antigens can be detected with serological tests. When we assume a urinary-genital infection, a urine, sperm and urethral smear for microbiological/serological examination should be taken .
You didn’t report any bacteria that was isolated or serologically proved in your case!
You can request several diagnostic procedures:
1. Standard blood analyses (blood count, sedimentation, CRP, urea, creatinin, uric acid, AST, ALT…);
2. Urinary analyses (sediment, nitrates, proteins…);
3. microbiological examination of urine, sperm and urethral smear;
4. serological examinations;
5. ultrasound scan (kidneys, bladder, prostate and testicles);
If not treated properly urinary-genital infections can become chronic. You may want to consult a urologist and nephrologist about this problem.
