Slight Discomfort In Penis And Testicle Posted: 05-13-07 19:41pm
27 year old male. i went to the doctor a
few weeks ago and had discomfort in groin
area and discomfort in testicles(right
one). Gave me dioxycycline(sp.) for 7
days twice a day(not sure mg.) Well after
that still had slight discomfort in groin
area, but none in testes. Had a weaker
urine stream than usual and had Digital
exam of prostate and slightly swollen.
Doctor gave me 500mg of Cipro for 14 day
supply(one pill twice day). Well still
having slight burning in penis and still
urine stream is not completely normal.

Well, have you continued to go to the
doctor? What does he say?
Otherwise, it sounds like the doctor
suspected infection(s), perhaps
epididymitis, urinary and/or prostate
infection. If it was an infection, it's
possible you still have it. Another visit
to the doctor would be in order.
If it's an infection you could use some
supplements along with (or alone, but I
still think you should go to the doctor)
antibiotics. Some good ones are Vitamin C,
Zinc, Astragalus, Colloidal Silver,
Garlic, etc.
Then perhaps the most important is
probiotics, which are good bacteria.
Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your
body, good and bad. The good needs to be
replenished so you can properly digest,
assimilate nutrition, fight bad bacteria,
and otherwise be healthy with a strong
immune system. You can replenish it by buy
a probiotic supplement. Look for high
numbers, multiple strains, and enteric
coating. Lactobacillus Sporogenes is a
strain that reportedly (according to
Mercola) has the highest chance of working
for the most people. That is to say, not
every strain grabs hold easily for every
person. However, a multiple strain gives
you variety and possibilities.

Hi Posted: 05-18-07 13:29pm
I believe if I were a male or you were my
husband, I/He would be finding a
specialist and getting an appointment
ASAP. Some specialist are booked up for
months, so the sooner you can get to one
the better. Obviously you are not getting
better by a couple rounds of different
antibiotics, other test are in order and
the sooner you find out, the
better......also for peace of mind on your
behalf. Hope you find your answer!

Hi Posted: 05-18-07 18:27pm
I have learned over hte years, worry and
stress causes more harm than good. Don't
worry about something that you can't
control. Once you find out, then you can
do something to correct the situation.
Until then, go on and live life...its too
short to worry over. Just glad to know you
are going to see a Urologist and have this
taken care of. Its probably something
minor, so you'd worry for nothing. Even if
it turns out to be something other, you
are nipping it in yhe bud. So many people
allow things to go on for years, then wait
until its too late to see a Dr. Keep us
posted!

so you think its just a bacterial
infection that can be taken care of with
the right antibiotics? I dont think its
too serious after reading post after post
simply b/c its only one side of my
groin(right) that lymph node is
sore/swollen.
