Brief Answer:
Rule out Genito urinary Tract Infection Diabetes, flow studies if persists.

Detailed Answer:
Hello again Gregg,

Thanks for answering the questions.

Based upon your history and description of the symptoms, Diabetes and Genitourinary tract infection should be ruled out by doing a Fasting blood sugar, HBA1C and urine R/E. Try to loosen out your clothing so that there is less compression on the vessels and adequate blood flow. If the symptoms start to be persistent despite the above measures or if the above causes are ruled out and the time duration of these sensation starts increasing then an Ultrasound of the scrotum and pelvic flow studies can be advised to look for any circulatory issues, in consult with a Urologist.

wishing you best of health

Please consult your doctor before deciding on any further course of action.

Dr. M.S. Khalil
