Is Pelvic And Testicular Pain Signs Of STD?
Hi, About a month ago I participated in sexual activity. It lasted about 2 hours and I felt fine at the time. I don't know if the girl I had sex with had any form of STD, but the morning after I had sexual intercoarse I felt a pushing feeling behind my penis when I would have to pee. This feeling would last about 10 minutes then go away. I have had absolutely no discharge whatsoever, but I did have pelvic pain Which went away after being prescribed an antibiotic for prostatitis, because the doc have me a prostate exam and came to that conclusion. Over the coarse of the month, the pushing feeling has been on and off. Only now I notice that me left testicle is in pain generally and I have a verococele which has gotten bigger. And just yesterday, I noticed a vet tiny red dot right inside my urethra. Doesn't hurt or itch. It's just there. It does sometimes sting when I pee, or when I ejaculate, but only sometimes. Whats going on? Should I worry? I am a terrible anxiety person. Oh yes, and I am 19 years old.

Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic
Left testicular pain and varicocele seems unrelated to this particular episode of sexual contact.
Anyway, I would definitely suggest testing for STD's even though there have been no obvious sores, urethral discharge Or warts or growths.
STD's like HIV; syphilis; prostratic involvement with chlamydia and mycoplasma; herpes etc may not be noticeable or may not be very symptomatic in the period immediately after sexual activity and may be discovered only on testing, therefore testing is recommended.
Screening test for Syphilis (VDRL) and HIV can be done at 1 month and then again at 3 months. Herpes can be tested as early as 2 weeks.
I would also suggest a urine routine microscopy to look for pus cells Or microscopy of urethral discharge obtained after a prostatic massage to look for pus cells.
In addition to testing if you notice any urethral discharge, genital ulcers/erosions, warts or growths or inguinal swelling etc you must immediately get it checked with a sexual health specialist.
Regards
