Testicle Pain, Discomfort In Groin When I Bend, Irritation At Tip Of Penis, Rashes On Glans, Taken Medication For Balanitis. Could This Be STI Or Normal Infection?

Question: Hi... I have been having mild intermittent pain in my testicle for a few weeks now. I visited a Urologist and he took a ultrasound scan, blood test and urine test. He checked the results and said I've nothing to worry about. For two weeks since then, I had no problems. Then it started again. I would get this pain only 4-5 times a day and a discomfort in groin area when I bend down.

By now, I got irritation at the tip my penis and foreskin. A few very very tiny rashes appeared on the glans. I checked with a local GP, he said it is balanitis and prescribed few pills. I started taking those pills for a few days and all the symptoms vanished for a week.

Now, it slowly started again, the pain is testicle is very rare and the discomfort in groin area when i bend down has considerably reduced. Now for the last three days I'm having mild penile pain.


I took a urine test yesterday and report read like 0-1 pus cell and 0-1 epithelial cell. I've had oral sex six months prior. Could this be STI or normal infection? Pls clarify

I've been having mild penile pain for 3 days now. I took a urine test yesterday, the report said 0-1 pus cell/hpf and 0-1 epithelial cell/hpf. Does that mean I have STI or not? please clarify

Thanks a lot for the quick response Doc.

I started worrying, since my penile pain started 3 days back. Thats when I started thinking it could be a STI, given the very tiny rashes that appeared two weeks back.

I was also thinking testicle pain could be due some twist or varicocele. But shouldn't that have been diagnosed in the scrotal ultrascan, I had. Its been a almost 2 months now since the ultrascan.

Confused, since I've been taking antibiotics that the local GP prescribed for the foreskin & mild penile tip irritation, the testicular pain has very drastically reduced. And the discomfort in groin area has reduced considerably too.

Let me describe the testicular pain. Its like a mild pin prick, its there for a second or two and its okay after that. First I used to get like 1-2 of these in an hour. After the pills, it reduced to 1-2 in day sometimes none at all.

So my questions are:
1. Could the reason for my testicular pain/discomfort could be physiological and not infection?
2. If I had STI, my urine routine would show more pus cells?
3. what could be the reason for the penile pain?
