Swollen/Pain in Testicles With Burning inside and outside of penis head

In June or July 2007, I had unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a blonde I met on the internet. A few days later my penis head had an inflammed, raised area on it and then lost coloration on both sides of the meatus. I have a red, irritated ring around the edges of the penis head, and around the urethral opening as well. Then came the berning during urination. Then a couple of small, flesh-colored raised dots on my penis head, a couple on each side. Finally, a horrible prickly, stinging, and burning sensation virtually constant in my penis head that now, has spread to my scrotum and anus!!! Also burning pain in my left lower abdomen, but sporadically. This is misery!! I also had a herpes sore show up on my bottom lip about a week after I was with her, healed, and the it showed up a month later, and healed again!

I went to the local CDC, got tested for every STD, and every result was negative! Was referred to a urologist, and I've taken Cipro, Prosed/DS, otc Uristat, drank 2 gallons of cranberry juice, with only temporary relief from the genital stinging and pain! It's now almost October, and the burning in my penis head, inside the urethra, and in my scrotum and around my anus continues!!! I got a lower body CAT scan and it came back normal. I've got an appointment to put a microscope inside my urethra, and in the meantime I obtained a prescription for more Prosed/ DS, and Fluconazole (anti-fungal). I pray to God the Fluconazole works, but it seems no one is able to diagnose my mystery disease. I thought it was Herpes, because of the Cold Sore I got on my lip shortly after I was with the internet w****. I too, have had thoughts of ending it all, because I would rather be dead than have to deal with this the rest of my life!!! The urologists don't think I have genital herpes bc no open sores, scabs, etc. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!

Guys, I have had the same pain at the tip of the penis thing with an urge to urinate after ejaculation. I have never had sex without a condom on, went to a couple of urologists who requested a myriad of tests that all came back as negative. Have been on doxycycline for a long time now, the pain may have subsided a little bit but it flares up once in a while. My doctor claims that I'm making it all up or that it's related to a stressful lifestyle, humbug.

The diagnosis has always been prostatitis(which is a doctor's way of saying "I have no idea what you've got" as prostatitis is the garbage can that doctors use to describe any unexplained pelvic pain).

It has gone away for a while but now it's back, I have noticed that it's somehow related to drinking a lot of water. The interesting thing is that it started after eating a bar of chocolate and came with the skin allergy that I often suffer from.

Naked eye investigation reveals a mild swelling just inside the penis that goes away with time, the pain disappears within an hour.

The pain is a bit relieved by warm sitz baths, but it's no permanent solution. I can't spend an hour in the bathtub whenever I ejaculate, just in case have a book or an iPod ready but make sure it doesn't get wet.

Does any of you have any food allergies?, Do you think it's related to drinking a lot of water, beer, coffee?

jamesinfla - Do you have any updates? You have the same symptoms I do, except for the cold sore.

i have the same issue. I have the same spread and pain throughout penis and testicles. the spreading of something funny with my anus is the same thing. please contact me through email so we can figure this out. i have had it for 5 years now and it tears me down psycologically. contact me please.

Is there any updates for anyone on this siuation? I have the same problem and have had for about 6 months. I would love to talk to anyone with the same problem and hopefully hear about some progress.

OK guys.... PLEASE TRUST WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY...you all most likely have muscle tension.... the cure is 3 fold... meaning there are three things u guys need to do..
1)kNOW/TRUST that your symptoms are nothing more than particular muscles referring pain to several areas(yes muscles can refer pain to even the tip of the penis or testicles, etc.).... pain is often brought on by sex, lack of movement in your life, stretching a muscle to much,or starting some kind of sport or workout ... these pains or almost always bc you have been living a sedentary life for some time 3 months to years where as before you were living a life with lots of movement... that simple!


2) lots of aerobic, movement, swimming, light weight lifting... take it easy in the beginning and expect pain increases and decreases day by day.... 3 months later you will feel 50% better .... some get better within a month but most take about 6 months to a year.... DIET is crucial... get the sugars out of your diet... eat only !00%whole wheat breads, cereals, eat only complex carbs... lot of veggies especially broccoli... broccoli helps with the inflammation in the muscles after your workout, potatoes are actually very good for you, light on the fruits, eat Lots of protein...watch your salt... items with sea salt is best


3)Now whenever there is pain continue to remind yourself that the pain is nothing but a nerve signal at the end of your penis... let the pain be there.... dont be scared of it.... don't tense.... your reaction to the pain is the key.... this process takes some time to accept but everyone learns to accept the pain once the understand that the pain is really just a phantom pain. Whenever I felt the pain at the tip or underneath of penis or even that nagging in the testicle all I would do is remind myself its just a single at the end of my penis, a signal of pain, nothing actually in there or on the tip... its just a nerve signal and there is absolutely no damage occurring to the penis when you feel the pain or your pants are rubbing the penis or jostling your testes. IT IS JUST A SIGNAL COMING FORM A TENSING MUSCLE... So let the pain just be there as long as it wants, let the muscle tense all it wants.... all you have to do is not be scared of it by knowing what the pain is..... couple this with exercise, good diet, and not sitting for longer than an hour will cure you.

I am having to type this very fast bc im on my way to a concert but I feel the need to pass on my knowledge.... I suffered from this a year ago.. yes I did it all... the urologist, proctologist, prostatitis, the only guy who knows what he is talking about is Dr Wise... look him up... but you really dont need his program ..... I actually did the program...went there and paid the several thousands of dollars... did learn a lot but took what I learned and applied my own experimental knowledge and have cured myself and many others... yes I still get periodic pains but when they come back I simply remember its just a signal and eventually the pain goes away...sometimes within minutes... sometimes hours. I know this is a lot of info but research what im saying... I will begin to send out my knowledge soon to other sites similar to this one. Its a very scary place to be when your penis or testes hurt and you dont know why and the docs say is prostatitis, urinary infection, give you antibiotics, put sh*t up your penis to look and never find anything. Those symptoms on your penis... marks, white spots or redness is normal.... If you have been checked for stds please disregard all signs on your penis. I still have the same redness underneath, white marks on the tip of penis and feel no pain.... those signs have nothing to do with our problem.

Please believe what I have written... it is the REAL CURE and only cure. If you follow my advise and begin to get better please pass your knowledge on to others and other sites like this one... there are many depressed guys out there..... My advise also works for women with similar symptoms.

Wish I could say more but I got to go!

If you guys want... I can come back here in the near future and give you more info and a better explanation on our problem. Just let me know.

That sounds right because my doctor did subscribe muscle relaxors for my bladder and it worked like a charm, some others didnt work quite as well though you just have to try some untill they help, I still have a redness in a certain spot that constantly stings on the tip of my penis, that started right when this whole thing started. Its hard for me to belive that that red pain spot on my tip is from muscles, is this possible?

I'm back, and the condition is worse. My penile glans still burns on a daily basis, sometimes excruciatingly so. The shaft, scrotum, buttocks, thighs burn frequently too. The pins and needles and an electric shock sensation has enveloped both my legs as well.

I now feel the electric shocks in my upper body, and up to the base of my neck. Somehow I feel it's some kind of Herpes neuropathy or something.

I take Valtrex 1 gm a day, and it's no help. Herpes shouldn't burn constantly,and this does. The skin coloration on the glans has yellowed, and remains irritated, as it has been since just a few days after sex with the evil w**** who gave this to me!

Whoever thinks herpes is a disease to be taken lightly, think again; this disease is causing me burning peripheral neuropathy on a miserable daily basis, and sad thing is I could have avoided it all!

In just two unprotected sexual sessions with her, I've (confirmed) contracted Herpes 1 and 2, and Molluscum Contagiosm!!! THREE STDS, all INCURABLE VIRUSES, from just ONE, physically-attractive 36 year old blonde female!! And another messed up thing is I asked her 2 different times if she had any diseases, to which both times she answered, No!

I'm so pissed off I can't explain! And this little scumbag is still posting ads on Yahoo Personals and Match.com!!! If I could report her to the CDC I would!!!

My life has forever been altered/ damaged by a s***k!!

Guys,

I had a similar suffering twice in the past 3 years. In both cases, the rims of my penile glans started to hurt like burining and swell after sleeping naked in a foreign bed. The most probably cause of my symptoms is either contact dermatitis (allergy or irritation on contact with some stuff) or food allergy, both cases involed long time plane/car ride and international travel.

For the first time, amoxicillin was taken and I had reaction to it (only learned after the doc visit). As a result, the swelling got worse and local sores developed. It was not till I visited a famous local dermatologist who told me it's likely a drug reaction. After I stopped amoxicillin and took medication and cream for allergy. It was cured shortly.

The second time, knowing that I am allergic to Amoxicillin I intially took Azithromycin for 3 days and the burning pain got worse and then I suspected UTI and my doc told me to switch to Cipro (for suspected UTI). Within 24 hours, the original symptom did not go away but I also developed symptoms of acute prostatitis, i.e., burning penis and testicles, pain in the pelvis/groin, butt, leg and lower back, frequent urge to urine, etc. The Doc did urine tests and even STD's, all negative. Protate exam indicated no inflammation. He gave me 1 g of Azithromycin any way, which makes the sympotom worse. The pain in the penis was so bad that I almost wanted to cut it off. After that he switched to Cipro (for suspected prostatitis, and by that time I had done some research on reactions of both drugs and came to suspecion that my symptoms are likely caused by drug reactions. I has boddy/joint/leg pain, prostatitis symptoms, dry eyes, blurred vision, ect. about 24 hrs after taking Cipro (this is a very dangerous drug!). I stopped both, within 24 hrs the symptoms improved dramatically. Looks like I am allergic to both drugs. If I had continued with the antibiotics as the doc insisted, I may have been permanently disabled! I serously doubt about the drug companies claim of statistics of "minor" side effects of these drugs.

Some of you may have suffered from the same drug reactions. Your phycological stress including guilt and regret can make the symptoms much worse and may even cause what I called self induced prostatitis symptoms (as a result of stresses or involuntary tension in the pelvic mussle stressed). See the attached website for the so-called Stanford Protocal treatment (training) to relieve the symptoms.

Once again, when you have been test negative for all possible infections or STD's, seriously consider the following causes:

1). Initial cause: possible contact dermatitis, allergy and minor infection.
2). Antibiotics make your the burning and symptoms worse and prolonged.
3). Guilt and regred can further aggrevate your problems.

I learned twice, and in a very hard way the second time! No all docs think logically for you or are willing to think much for your problems.

Good Luck!

I have the same symptoms as sharpshooter2. Ive been to the doctor and had tests for chlamydia and ghonorrea and they did bloodwork for HIV AIDS and Herpes 1 and 2 and all of it came back negative. I had sex w/o a condom w a girl who had a bad yeast infection and afterwards I took a pill to kill the yeast. This seemed to help at first but I just recently had sex with her again and the same symptoms are back. They are aching testicles, redness around the head of the penis and some burning. It is not unbearable but definitely uncomfortable.

I went to the doctor again while the symptoms were present and was told that it looked like "irritation" and to not be worried about it.

Am I being misdiagnosed by my doctor? Im worried and am losing faith in my doctor...
