sir now want to expalin something. today i found in morning this pain. it was not very much but pain was there After urinating i felt very less or near about finished pain. i checked also there is no pain area in my testicles. i dont have blood in my urine. i could not found any swollen area in groin. but my pain is also slightly going back side. that's why i have fear of kidney stones. i have stopped multivitamins. i was taking high amount of zinc and vitamin c before. kindly tell me sir is that could be lymp nodes or kidney stones or hernia. i am in stress . now pain is not there but when a pulse comes it gives me fear. is there any home ramedy? or otc medicine?

Brief Answer:
Hernia , lymph node not likely, gravels in urinary system possible dear .

Detailed Answer:
Welcome Dear XXXXXXX
* No swelling in groin rules out hernia and lymph node possibility at the most .
* Possibility lies with minute stone particles or even gravels in the urinary
system which will give you dull ache in loin & little discomfort after urinating
or during urinating . ( it is not necessary that every minute gravel will give
pain in testicle or blood in urine )
* Suggested guidelines for you :
- drink plenty of liquids preferably in form of boiled water, coconut water, lemon
juice , green tea , coffee , butter milk etc around 4 liters per day .
- cranberry sachets or liquid ( one XXXXXXX with 1 glass of drinking water or 2
teaspoonful syrup 3 times a day ) with citrus fruits help a lot .
- avoid exposure to excess heat .
Thanks regards .

sir i have started cranberry concentrated syrup .
yestrday taken a lot of fluids. Today i felt pain less then yesterday .
sir i felt a little dryness and slight irritation near groin area stomach and thighs joins. does that related with this issue?
sir i have now 3 issues . one penile yeast infection (which is near about finished) 2nd throat pains that still i have and 3rd now this groin and slight back pain.
sir do u think all of these are related with each other?
if i have UTI then what could be the possible reason?





doctor
Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (5 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
All 3 are not related to each other,UTI reason is improper hydration .

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear XXXXXXX
@ All three are not related with each other .
@ UTI possible reason is less hydration of the body as compared to the need of
the system giving rise to altered pH mechanism of the urine , and that is
supported by your statement '' today I felt less pain then yesterday as taken
a lot of fluids "
Thanks regards .

ok sir.
Now in last 2 days i felt a slight pain only in morning that goes up to testicals. but all the day no specific pain . Sir how much time it will take to normalise.? i am in a fear that i have some std like chlamydia etc .. what do u think sir.?
i dont know what i should do.. everytime a new problem comes. i am tired from these pains.
now from yesterday i am feeling pain in neck. just in right side where back side of head finished . now i dont know its due to muscle pain or its some infection also. its a proper pain and i can feel if i turn my head diagonaly. because still throat pains are not finished and a new pain started. throat pains are very less at the end of the day but when i swollow something i feel slight pain at front of throat area .
Also most of the time i hae a pain in lower jaw area and downside of ear. sir i am just explaining because i felt i have lympnodes and all are due to infections . sir kindly help me to come out from these issues.

Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
Usually gravels pain settles in a week provided hydration is maintained .

Detailed Answer:
Respected XXXXXXX
* Loin pain will be okay within 7-10 days provided you maintain your hydration
levels at its best with plenty of liquids all the day .
* Neck pain over right side back is muscular as it is felt when you turn head
diagonally .
Apply local analgesic spray over that part for 2 times a day it will be alright
without medicines .
Be clear it is not related to infection .
* Still your stress level is high I am assuming , kindly do meditations & YOGA
very sincerely & precisely to come out from all these daily issues dear .
Thanks

sir now from last 2 days i did not felt that specific pain that was going to testicals. but i have a dull or slight groin pain whaich i felt. it not a proper pain just a tightness or dull pain. i know its improving but still i have fear that is there is something serious?
one more thing sir i have a lymp node or gland in my right jaw out side area. its painless but its a side of bean or small bean. i have already discused this one with you. i have a fear that it might be due to some serious infection. i observed this one from a long time. is it harmful?
and does cranberry juice can cause throat pains?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (3 hours later)
Brief Answer:
Groin pain is not serious,bean node in neck is not harmful.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Welcome dear .
* Nothing is serious in dull pain of groin .
Keep maintaining hydration & avoid tight pants / fit belts to be applied over it
as an extra precaution .
* Normal lymph nodes of bean size are many times palpable in millions of people
without evidence of any type of infection , so it is not harmful at all for you.
* Cranberry juice can not cause throat pain .
So Be Positive & enjoy .
Regards .
Take care .

thanks for reply but sir i am not taking about neck. it is the area outside the lower jaw means the edge of face. at this point this lymp node is normal? and sir this gland is not causing pain but i have pain at the end of jaw or lower area of ear not very much but its pain. and its not always i have its on and off.
for this groin pain sir its not completely finished i can say it is 80% finished but still i have lower back side pain and today again once i felt slight pain . i am agree that pain is less and its improving . but such things gives me stress . stress that have many thoughts from HIV to kidney failure and testicle cancer etc. do you think any thing from these could i have.?
i have a permanent right side lower back pain . i think that is also related with this groin pain. because when i feel groin pain its travel to back side.
All of my pains are not as much high that they effect my normal work or life but stress from these pains are more.

Brief Answer:
small submandibular lymph nodes are common,no kidney failure/testis cancer

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
* What area you have narrated is the part of neck called submandibular region
where lymph nodes are very common to show on & off without much pain .
* I am sure it is not kidney failure or testicular cancer , HIV can be eleminated
by blood test only why to take stress ?
* Chronic right side lower back pain is usually associated with muscle sprain or
strain & urinary gravels , no other any major issue likely .
* So moral of the story is you require more time for meditations which you are
not allotting still now which I assess from these conversations .
Thanks regards .

I am agree sir i have stress but my problem are actual. Now from yesterday to uptill i have not faced any groin pain. but sir every time i want to feel relaxed and stress free something happened.
As you know my penile yeast infection was near about finished or completely finished and from last one week i was not using clortimazole. But now again slight irritation i felt on penis. and also i have dryness on skin of penis. i am in a fear that again this yeast infection will come. because area is same where i was having yeast infection . i have read on internet that once if you have penile yeast infection you will get it again and again due to some underlying cause . i am not sure its yeast infection or not because its very mild or only like allergic reaction but the area is same. what should i have to do now?
2nd sir i want to explain about HIV fear. as i have already told you in my life i have sexual intercourse which i can count on my fingers, and all the cases were protected one. but my symptoms are very much feel like hiv.
As you know from last near about 3 months my throat and neck pains are there . thats why many thoughts comes in my mind. I am also tried about these fears and again and again questions .

Answered by Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
use aloe vera gel for penile dryness ,HIV fear is not actual problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
* Certain amount of dryness remains for varying period of time in infection
recovery period or even after totally recovered .
You do not require clotrimazole for it , just use aloe vera gel 3 times a day .
* HIV fear is not actual problem , and the symptoms of throat and neck pain
are also not supportive of it .
Thanks regards .

ok sir i will agree for this answer for throat pains and neck pains. but problem is sir i am not going to finish this throat pains and also neck pains(not very much high pain mild but irritating ). i dont know i have tonsillitis or something.And i am having it from last 3 months. i dont know what is the reason behind it. might be possible a weakened immune system? sir this throat pains are changing locations sometimes in tonsil area sometimes downside the part of throat 2 inch about chest bone. sometimes near ear in upper jaw. Plus this penile yeast infection and all these things gives a fear that combines for a permanent stress. i dont think all these are due to only stress. kindly suggest something like supplements or multivitamins etc to proceed for a stronger immune system.
