I just tried to see if i had any weird lumps but cannot find any in your described area. I do not have a fever. I will ask my Doctor to have a urine culture and sensitivity test.
Thanks.
Thanks.
yep no lumps =good the doctor will probably classify it as epididymitis/orchitis they sometimes are used interchangably. epididymitis is technicaly inflamation (swelling) of the epididymis and orchitis is inflamation of the testicle.
I just wanted to share my last night before the Dr. My stomach is still aching all day today. Yesterday I took some Maalox and Rolaids to see if it would help but this morning i went to use the restroom and my stool was almost complete black. Is this infection that im dealing with has anything to do with my stomach. My stomach feels bloated and there are sharp pain that comes and go.
hey man,
your stool is a little alarming. did it look tarry? it sounds like you could be bleeding in your intestins/stomach. do you have a fever at all or are you achey? it could be that you infection may have spread and possibly got into your blood stream (not good).... aaaaa where is the sharp pain and did this start all of the sudden or get worse gradually? deffinatly bring up all this to the doctor.
and let me know.... contact me anytime i check this frequently.

I do not have a fever at all. I feel fine actually besides the pain I'm my stomach. I just went to the restroom and looked at my stool again. Its a light brown color and some red spots. It is tarry (shredded) but doesn't look like it is blood. I had some pizza rolls so the red tint might be from that. The sharp pain seems to be hurting above my belly button. This is not going well in my favor. I am also worried that it has infected my intestines.
everything will be fine. ;-) normally blood in your stool will appear black and tarry or sometimes like coffee grounds. if it is red then it is normally from right at the end of your intestins, (the rectum or anus). the fact that you dont have a fever is good. if you had an infection in your blood you would almost certianly have a fever (and a pretty high one at that). the pain above your bellybutton does it shoot to your back at all or make it hurt up near your shoulder? also can you feel any swollen lymphnodes in your groin area? finally can you go about what you ate the past 3-4 days? sorry for all the questions just trying to get a feel for whats goin on. its good that your seeing the doctor tomorrow. these things could be not related at all and just be two seperate problems. :-)
The pain doesn't hurt anywhere else besides the stomach area. I been checking for the lymphnodes all day and everytime i use the restroom and have not found anything swollen or out of place in that area.
Here is a overview of what happened to me
Jan 27th was active shooter - i noticed awkward feeling in the testicle
Jan 28th work all day. I had rice with scrambled eggs. Noticed discomfort in testicle area.
Jan 29th went to go eat out at a sushi restaurant. had some raw fish/salmon/yellow tail along with crab, shrimp and veggies.
Jan 30th noticed swollen testicle. Ate some spicy noodles. joined here and started researching.
Jan 31st at scrambled eggs with rice again before headed to work. Drank cranberry juice then my stomach started to hurt afterwards. Ate some fun yum chips and drank a lot of water. Also ate about 10 pizza rolls. Drank some Maalox and ate Rolaids to stop stomach pain.
Feb 1st, stool became very dark, then afterwards lighter brown color with some red speckles that i think was the pepperoni from the pizza rolls.
I think that's about it. Im being pretty descriptive here not to gross anyone out that is reading this. I hope that I will be ok. Otherwise i went to school all day today and seem fine besides the stomach pain. I would like to add that when i urinate it seems to be a lot quicker, take less time, then usual. My urine color is clear with a hint of yellow.

I do however also wanted to mention that 2 weeks prior to the 27th I was very ill. I had caught the flu I believe from my co worker and was caughing, running nose, and hi fever including chills. But I did not notice any of these symptoms while I was ill.
i was thinking maby food poisioning at first but there was too much time past since you had the sushi for that.... also it could be a viral relaps but i highly doubt it. the symptomes dont match up. then i thought about an ulcer but it didnt bother you till now. watch to see if this blood (black tarry) stool clears up..... dont worry about grossing me out.... i have a pretty strong stomach lol smells get me more than sights/descriptions.
I will keep u posted. Thanks for your help. I feel like a guniea pig. Hahaha. I find it quite interesting and scarey at the same time. I will update tomorrow after 3pm central time as my apt is at 2pm.
Wish me luck!
Wish me luck!
haha yea thats a pretty common comment around the forum lol XD XD 8) looking forward to hearing from you again :-P :-P :-D :-D
So Im back from the Doc....
Had a urine test, blood test, ultra sound, and xray done in one day. The blood test i won't find out until tomorrow. THey tested me for chlamydia and gonorrhea. They did however find "moderate" bacteria in my urine test. Otherwise i won't really know what's going on until tomorrow.
The Doc prescribed me an antibiotic called Ciprofloxacin.
So i asked what he thinks might be wrong with me. He said that since he found bacteria in my urine it coincides with an infection somewhere in my system and probably in the epididymis but won't know for sure until tomorrow. He said it could be a cyst also.

yea that all would make sense
chlamydia can have no symptoms then flare up. have you ever had unprotedcted sex??
also have you had any discharge from your penis?
cysts are also another possibility but it sounds more like an infection.
ciprofloxacin is a antibiotic that is effective againt many gram positive and gram negative bacteria (gram reactions separeate bacteria into two main categories) by stopping DNA Gyrase which doesnt let the DNA uncoil and relax. this is more info than you are probably interested but i figured i would put that inthere. did the doctor mention what type of bacteria he saw (gram positive or negative and if it was cocci (sphere) bacilli (rod) or spirilla (spiral) shaped.

Yes I have had unprotected sex with my girlfriend that i've been seeing for a little over a year now. I talked to her today about it and she says she has been normal. The Doc asked me the same thing and he said that A LOT of people may not know they do or do not. I will be VERY angry if I have chlamydia. I just read and it said chlamydia is curable if caught early. I am just very angry right now and pissed off...
After reading more on it, i think i can somewhat conclude that it is Chlamydia. It infects the epididymis and causes swelling in the scrotal area.
My stomach is really bothering me right now and im just frustrated.

The Doc also asked me if i had any pus or blood discharge when i wake up in the morning. I, myself have not noticed any weird discharge like that the last few weeks but i do remember having a bit of white milky substance when i had UTI 9 months back.
