What Causes Tenderness In The Testicles?

a few yrs ago i contracted chlamydia and took the medication and got rid of the std however i noticed immediately while flaccid my penis has shrunk i feel uncomfortable most of the time i am very sensitive even say a pat on the back unexpectedly(very jumpy) my testicles don't really hang much more and activity will make it shrink to about 1 in its a very depressing situation i found myself in and i would just like some closure on this if someone can help i was told by the clinic not to "mechanically" have sex (masturbate) while on the meds (but of course i didn't listen) as around my last day of the wk long process i gave in and masturbated was this the reason for all my sorrow?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi,

It can be due to epididymitis or orchitis. You can consult a general surgeon and get an ultrasound scrotum to look for any signs of infection.

You can also go for a urine routine also. You can empirically start on antibiotics preferably Ciprofloxacin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
