What Causes Tightness Around Testicle And Perineum Area?



I'm 23 years old, 228 lbs, no current medications, male, 5'8 feet tall.
Pain and discomfort may be due to chronic inflammation of spermatic cord.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have pain and discomfort in your Right Testicle and have noticed it to be placed at higher level as compared to Left one.
At the outset I would like to state that the position of testis as long as it is in scrotal sac has no significance at all.It is natural for every individual to have one testicle lower than its counterpart.The pain and discomfort that you have could be due to chronic infection of the spermatic cord (Funicullitis).mostly due to Chlamydia infection.This pain causes reflex contraction of cremastic muscles resulting in to pulling up of your right testicle.
Please repeat your ultrasound scanning and colour Doppler study of scrotum to conform the diagnosis with specific reference to the spermatic cord.
In the mean while start taking antibiotic like Erythromycin along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.You may need to take medications for 3-4 weeks.
Your symptoms are aggravated by your anxiety .Please try to calm down and note that it is the function of the testicle that is important than position of testicle.
You can try to use loose underwear to avoid pressure on testicle that will help to relieve compression on the testis and there by reduce pain and discomfort.
Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

All your assumptions are due to anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
hello
Thanks for follow up.
Testes never gets damaged with such a mild infection .
It is your anxiety that is bothering you.
As regards prescription for Erythromycin we can not prescribe any drug unless we have carried out physical examination of a patient.
I think Azithromycin is available in U.S over the counter ,Since Azithromycin is derived from Erythromycin you can continue taking it twice daily for 10 days.
You can take Brufen twice daily .It is available over the counter.
Thanks and Regards.

You need to take medication religiously rather than doing MRI.

Pain in groin and lower abdomen are due to Funiculitis .
All other symptoms are due to apprehension and anxiety.
Contact your PCP and get the prescription from him.
