What Causes Penile Distortion And Testicular Pain?
My 15 year old son has had 2 surgeries for corporal disproportion. Neither one of them went well. Now he has penile distortion and since recovering from the 2nd surgery has had reoccurring testicular pain which leaves him bed ridden for a week to 10 days at a time. He does normally wear skinny jeans but the last urologist we saw on Monday had no ideas. He has also had 2 ultra sounds on his testis that appear normal with the exception of older scarring on the testi in question. ???

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
All these symptoms are suggestive of epididimitis which is inflammation of part of testicle and this not uncommon in males especially in young age. This is usually treated with 10 days of antibiotics, usually ciprofloxacin and there are no permanent consequances. MAsturbation and intercourse should be avoided till pain persist, if possible since I may prolong inflammation course. Some more serious conditions such as tumors or torsion are rare but in doubtful cases you should do Doppler ultrasound or scintigraphy. In this particular case, I don’t think this is required.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
