Any more information about your symptoms?

I've been experiencing this (heat sensation in scrotum, upper thighs) after having unprotected casual sex five weeks ago with someone I did not know. Wearing brief underwear and sweatpants makes them warmer causing irritation. Seems like any if moisture is added to this mix makes it painful. I've been using a fungal cream for a week with no result. I'm scared to have sex with anyone as I'm not sure if I have something I could pass.

I have gotten blood tests done at 2 weeks after exposure and 4 weeks after exposure. All tests came back negative -- Chlamydia & Gonorrhea, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C
Herpes I, Herpes II, HIV 1 & 2 Antibody (4th Gen), Syphilis, Trichomoniasis.

I've been to a clinic, my urologist and my GP. They said I shouldn't be worried about a specific std and it was good I was using the fungal cream. But it's been a week, I'm almost out of it, and I'm having the same sensation.

Does anyone have any insight on what could be going on with me?

Thanks in advance

A warm heat sensation around the scrotum and testicles can have several possible causes, including:

  1. Infection: Infections of the scrotum and testicles, such as epididymitis or orchitis, can cause a warm, painful sensation. These infections can be caused by bacteria or viruses and may require medical treatment.

  2. Inflammation: Inflammation of the scrotum and testicles, such as from a physical injury or autoimmune condition, can cause a warm, uncomfortable sensation.

  3. Varicocele: A varicocele is a swelling of the veins that drain the testicles. It can cause a warm, heavy sensation in the scrotum and may also be associated with pain or discomfort.

  4. Hydrocele: A hydrocele is a buildup of fluid in the scrotum that can cause a warm, swollen sensation. It may also be associated with pain or discomfort.

  5. Testicular torsion: Testicular torsion is a medical emergency in which the testicle becomes twisted, cutting off blood flow and causing severe pain and discomfort. It may also be associated with a warm sensation.

Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications, surgery, or other interventions. But you must get it checked with your doctor.
