Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query on XXXXXXX
I am pleased to be able to assist you.
You might be suffering from chronic orchyepididymitis (infection of the scrotum and spermatic cord) which is usually caused by microbes and the sensation around your anus could be referred sensation due to the pain or might be another infection such as pin worm (which I do doubt if that is the case because of your presentation). You will require some specific tests done notably urine/semen analysis, urethral swap and analysis +/- culture.
The doctor of choice that you should see is a urologist order than your neuropathy. At your age, it will be important to do screening of STDs, prostate disorder etc just in case they are responsible.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
