What Causes Painful Swelling In The Testicles After Unprotected Sex?

2 mos ago i had an unprotected sex. Then 2-3 weeks after that i felt that my testicles are swollen and hurting. After that i noticed that my penis is like vibrating and so irritating. And now i notice this red bump on my penis head that looks like a small mosquito bite, also small bumps that are not reddish are on my penis head. What would be the cause of these symptoms? Im suspecting that this is because of herpes.

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Based on the description it appears that you could have contacted sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria 'Chlamydia trachomatis'.
You need to undergo urine examination, which will be tested for the presence of the chlamydia organism.
You may also need a urethral discharge culture, or swab test, to rule out gonorrhea.
If you’re diagnosed with chlamydial infection, you and your sexual partners must be treated with appropriate course of antibiotics.
Antibiotics which can eliminate chlamydial infection include:
1. doxycycline
2. azithromycin
3. erythromycin
4. levofloxacin
5. ofloxacin
The antibiotic course would be for 10 days. Most infections will resolve within a week or two.
It is important for you to abstain from sexual activity for at least seven days after completing a course of antibiotics to prevent reinfection.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
