Hi ! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.
Discomfort in the testis could be due to ignored repeated trivial trauma, which causes inflammation causing pain/discomfort in the same. Testis being an intra-abdominal organ embryo-logically, brings the
nerve supply to it from above, and so the pain in the testis is frequently radiated/felt as a discomfort in the abdomen/pelvis area. In your case your
urinary tract infection might have spread to the testes giving rise to such pain in the testes.
If I were your doctor, after a thorough physical examination I would advise you for the following:
1) Support your testes with properly fitting under garments.
2) Avoid standing for prolonged period, and avoid lifting heavy weight if you do.
3) Advise you for a routine blood tests like a CBC, AEC, HbsAG,
HIV test and a urine routine/microscopic examination followed by a culture and sensitivity report if need be and advise antibiotics as per the report.
4) Avoid indulgence in any sexual activity if you are active sexually which would prevent further trivial trauma if any to the testes, apart from precipitating any kind of infection if present.
I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.
Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
