Prostate help please! 25 years old, minor scrotal pain for last 2 years, prostititus?

299>25 year old, MINOR (barely there at all), monogamous, told by family doctor its prostititus. Tried 5 day antibiotics, no effect at all.





Heres the wierd thing: 2 years ago around time when pain started, I was dating a different girl, and she kept getting constant yeast infections. I was starting to experience this pain at that time, and I was also given the over the counter anti-fungal medication in a single dose taken orally. During that time the pain was gone, my erection size was back to normal. This lasted 2 weeks.





Anyone out there ever had this sort of thing? Ever heard of a chronic yeast infection in a male? Perhaps I just needed a higher or longer dose of the anti-fungal to clear it up.





PS: My family has no history of erectile disfunction or prostate cancer, and my prostate has recently been screened to be sure. It is completely normal.
Reply:Testicular pain has many causes, some of which are emergencies that require immediate medical attention.


Causes of testicular pain include: trauma, testicular torsion (blood supply is cut off and this is an emergency), epididymitis, hernia, orchitits, testicular tumor, and rarely, infections or bleeding in the abdomen. You can read more about these conditions at the following site: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/articles/...





SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATIS (I do not see scrotal pain here):





Symptoms of the chronic forms of prostatitis, including inflammatory and noninflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome, may include:





A frequent urge to urinate, although you may only pass small amounts of urine.


A burning sensation when urinating (dysuria).


Difficulty starting urination, interrupted flow (urinating in waves rather than a steady stream), weaker-than-normal urine flow, and dribbling after urinating.


Excessive urinating at night (nocturia).


A sensation of not completely emptying the bladder.


Pain or discomfort in the lower back, in the area between the testicles and anus, in the lower abdomen, upper thighs, or above the pubic area. Pain may become worse during a bowel movement.


Pain or vague discomfort during or after ejaculation.


Pain in the tip of the penis. http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/...





Maybe time for a second opinion?

Reply:See a urologist. Seriouly. Don%26#039;t mess around with the boys.
Reply:go see your doctor to discuss this. Also - please be sure you are doing regular testicular self exams on yourself to check for any unusual lumps.
Reply:Hmmm. I%26#039;m no doctor, but I%26#039;ve experienced scrotal pain as well. It was actually because of kidney stones and the pain just somehow got there. It was minor but uncomfortable. So I suppose that could be a possibility.





I would go see a urologist. have them check you out. It may be something like a growth of some sort too.





Don%26#039;t worry, just get it checked by a specialist.
Reply:I think that there is a little panic setting in here. You have seen your doctor and got the all clear. Try two things. 1. Stop poking around looking for the problem. 2. Switch to loose underpants and trousers (no jeans). Let it all hang loose for a while.
Reply:if you had anal sex with her meaning that you are the active one ofcourse ! then you could have an infection. Infections are very persistent in them areas. Also some times if you used steroids that can cause this sensation,





5 day antibiotics wont do sh!t for infections like that in most cases you will need a two week course of antibiotics or if you insist in a week course they will have to be really powerfull. take care
Reply:Perhaps that one dose anti-fungal was not the kind of prescription that was most effective for YOUR metabolism; perhaps YOU needed the smaller amount for the prolonged period of time. Perhaps the one mega dose just didn%26#039;t eradicate the whole germ and it proliferated again.





SO RUN TO ANOTHER DOCTOR; DO NOT BE EMBARRASSED. Doctors make mistakes; mis-diagnose and mis-prescribe and sometimes seem to be %26quot;shooting craps%26quot; until they deduce the right thing.





But this is YOUR body and REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM, you only get one so FIGHT for it and





PROTECT IT:


Consider being much more stingy with giving yourself in sex (and where was your condom?); a little STD now can destroy your reproductive future. It%26#039;s not just something we see on TV in a Public Service Announcement about %26quot;other people%26quot; who are promiscuous..





I%26#039;m sure you NOW wonder if the sex was worth all this agony and fear you%26#039;ve been through.
