What Does Pain In Penis And Testicles Along With Lower Back Pain Suggest?
Question: The day immediately following having sex with my partner, I always have extreme pain in my penis and testicles, including burning throughout the area, pain during urination, more frequency and itchiness. It usually lasts for several weeks. I have seen several doctors and have had a complete STD exam which came back clean. I did once have chlamydia in the past but it came from a prior girl I was seeing and have not tested positive since I was treated months before I began sleeping with the new partner. I went to a specialist and was told that it was likely related to excessive caffeine and alcohol consumption, but that has not fluctuated much and just last night I saw this person for the first time in several months and now again for the first time in months the pain is back and is severe. I would just like a solution to this pain and do not want it to continue for several weeks.

1. There is some lower back pain at times.
2. I submitted urine to a urologist. I am not sure if it was the same test you are referencing, but he informed me that there was nothing in my urine to indicate anything.
3. I do not have diabetes at least not to my knowledge, my family has no history of it and I am not overweight. As for hypertension, I am not sure, but have been to a general physician and did not have inordinately high blood pressure.
4. No medication.
5. The pain is ongoing for several weeks after sexual contact, then it often goes away.
6. I once had really bad rashes on my inner thighs and in my arm pits several years ago but have not had them since then.
7. I do not believe I have a history of chronic fever or diarrhea.

Hello
thank you for getting back with the answers. I have gone through them. Most probable differential diagnosis in this case would be recurrent resistant UTI, fungal infection & testicular torsion. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
- get urine complete examination with culture & sensitivity. (If you have active complaint of pain & burning urination). If symptoms are not present at the moment then wait till they appear.
- Get ultrasound of testis done to see any sign of testicular torsion. In testicular torsion, there is pain in testis, penis and in lower abdomen. As soon as torsion is relieved, pain also settles.
- Ultrasound KUB to see status of kidneys, urinary bladder and prostate.
- I would suggest broad spectrum antifungals like ketoconazole as well. These are prescription medicines so you need to visit your local doctor to get them.
- Plan for antibiotic therapy like ciprofloxacin would depend upon the culture report.
I would suggest you to visit hospital and get an appointment for a "Consultant Urologist" only and discuss these to proceed further.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
