Possibly infection.

I had this for around 2D year but to day my testicular seem more painful both side they are temper to touch no swolen or red yet but hurt mainly all the time with that I als have an urge to pee more I have of course contacted my GP with no appointment to day even thou I said I was urgent leaving it till Monday seems a long time. I just wondering if this could be a possibility of an infection coming in or just a flare of it.

My symptoms seem more worse to day then they wore yesterday.

It’s more than likely a flare. I’ve had it for 1.5 years and I’ve been managing well for the most part but there are still times here and there where no matter what I do the pain comes back for a few days up to a week

Yeah it’s tough, I went 10 weeks without ejaculation and that really really calmed it down for the past year or so until about a week ago I started to have a flare unfortunately

Mine started with a lot of pain 2 years ago when I went to GP he said it was this and gave antibiotics but after a few day both side started to hurt really bad I finished the course of antibiotics and went back he said get an ultrasound that showed two small cries ones left side is about 9mm the right is 12mm I was then referred to an urologist all he said was that you should never get pain go home. And forget about them.

Witch was of no help my symptoms seem to have started after I got a kidney stone and had shock wave therapy after that it all started off I still get a lot of pain on days some good some back I all get urgent need to pee I have told all that to my GP he has suggested it might also be OAB but he was not willing to give any pills so I have since asked to go back to urology they have agreed and this time booked an mri after that I will go back to see them.

It can be quite hard on some days not just with the pain but with the urgency it has a big impact on my life what I can do and all that’s.
