What Causes Thigh Inflammation And Discomfort In The Testicle Of A UTI Patient?

My husband has been treated for a UTI since early December. He has taken Cipro then Bactrim (he was allergic), back on Cipro for 3 weeks and now on Levaquin. He is somewhat improved but now having a burning sensation in the upper thigh as well as the discomfort in the testicle and low back. Any idea what they are missing?

hi madam...
first your hasbund had urinary tract infectiin and these symptoms of burning sensation upper thigh and testicles occurs with uti and no need to worry about that....from your words your hasbund not completely treated from infections even if he took cipro for 3 weeks but that is not enough to say he recovered from infection....discuss with your doctor to do urine culture and ultrasound scan of inguinal area...it is very helpful for you....if symptoms persist and urine culture give negative results we do seminal analysis ...seminal analysis will indicate if there is pus cells and bacterial infection to testicles and approbiate antibiotics administered according to antibiotic sensitivity test......the most common ptoblem with bacteria causing uti is the resistance to antibiotics so we advise to do these simple steps to complete recovery..........briefly urine culture and ultrasound and semin analysis will detect the accurate cause and treatment wil be simple and effective.......wish you and your hasbund healthy life.......
