What Causes Swelling And Pain In Testicle With Burning Urination?
Question: Hi I'm an 18 year old male and I have noticed that my right testicle is slightly harder and firmer than my left testicle.
I occasionally get pains in my right testicle which can happen every few weeks. I have received a few kicks to the testicles a few years ago, but not a major injury.
I have noticed that my scrotum skin has become red and I get pain in my lower abdomen after urination and sometimes a stinging pain at the tip of my penis after urination which lasts for about 5 minuites.
I was born with problems with my kidneys and had an operation to correct bilateral reflux when I was 6 years old. I currently have right sided renal scarring.
Could this possible be linked and should I see my GP.
Thanks

Hello
I do sometimes get a buring pain in my penis just after urination and this usually lasts for about 4/5mins. Will this need to examined this and if so how will it be done.
2. I have noticed that my scrotum skin has become red. Is this related to my other symptoms?
3. Could these symptoms be linked to my history or bilateral reflux? If so, would we need to do anything?
