Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
To recapitulate:
M / 51 - Lower belly bloating and burning and feeling like can not move quickly - not fat yet fullness and flabbiness in the groin.
Other problems :
Patchy reddish on top of glans and grayish on bottom
Epididymis is Swollen and tender
Penis is smaller and more flaccid, erections are not long lasting
Groin lymph nodes - pain and swelling
Ears ringing-
Voracious eating
You have noted Visited a Doctor - Yes / but not mentioned anything under Medications tried... Please tell me the medicines you are under.
The list of your complaints suggest me the following:
-The lower belly and groin bloating is indicative of either intestinal infection either primarily or secondary to the lymph nodes in the pelvis. Needs investigations to know the exact cause so that a proper treatment can be instituted.
-The redness in the glans graying at bottom, Epididymitis, swollen groin nodes and burning in lower abdomen can all be due to primary or secondary effects of urinary tract infection
The penile flaccidity and erectile dysfunction can be a direct effect of the same or due to anxiety associated with so may problems together.
-Ringing ears can be due to some general problem like hypertension or diabetes or local cause of otitis media.
I would advise in such a case the following::
More detailed history about remaining symptoms and history related to sexual relations, any problem in the partner ?
Investigations :
Blood: CBC, ESR, sugar, kidney function tests, STD profile if there is history of risky unprotected sex. Diabetes can cause or enhance problems.
Urine: Culture and sensitivity, routine and microscopy (preferably before the starting of the antibiotics)
Ultrasonography of the abdomen and scrotum with color doppler mode.
Standing X-ray of the abdomen .
These test will give an idea of the probable diagnosis and a guideline for further investigations if any and proper treatment.
I hope this helps you, please feel free to ask for more relevant queries or if you feel there is a gap-of-communication.
