                                            Question : I was diagnosed with Belanitis two days back and now have noticed an inflamed testicle? Could this be an STI or is it because of the Belanitis
                            
                                    Brief Answer:
Hello
Detailed Answer:
Frankly speaking its difficult to tell without seeing you. Though you might be feeling embarrassed you should see doctor for this as such symptoms need dedicated treatment to avoid complications.
Both possibility are likely.In case you choose option of not seeing doctor , you should take a course of antibiotics, though this would not be most recommended .
Doctor would get you investigated with few tests and suggest specific treatment for that particular infection.
Hope this helps.Please feel free to ask if there are doubts.
Regards.
