Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
The reactions like you think are not known to occur with pregabalin or amitriptylin.
I hope you have undergone ultrasonography and color Doppler examination to find out why these changes have occurred.
You are possible suffering from urinary tract and retrograde infection of the testis.
Go for all the relevant blood and urine test including urine -culture and sensitivity; also semen analysis and culture sensitivity.
You have only one so this is most important.
I find this answer helpful
