What Causes Persistent Pain And Discomfort In Testicles?
Question: im having pain in my left testicles and sometimes feels uncomfortable, i went for test they said what i have is staphylococcus,,and i was given anti biotics, both injections and oral but nothing changed yet, being going thru this for the past 2 years... and keeps having low sperm count as welll.is there anything i could do ?
Brief Answer:
chronic prostatitis or chronic epidydimitis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If the problem is persistent since 2 years- Problems like chronic prostatitis or chronic epidydimitis need to be excluded. These are challenging to manage. I suggest to confirm diagnosis first by physically consulting a Urologist.
However, I also suggest to undergo urine and semen culture, to identify sensitive antibiotic, is your doctor suspect staph aureus strongly.
Hope it helps!

Brief Answer:
hronic prostatitis or chronic epidydimitis need to be excluded
Detailed Answer:
In some individuals there would be slight upside down variation, which can be physiological. However, a physical examination is needed to exactly rule out pathology.
As I already mentioned- chronic prostatitis or chronic epidydimitis need to be excluded as you were on different antibiotics from past 2 years without complete help.
