Is Burning Sensation In Testicles After Ejaculation An Indication Of STD's?
My boyfriend sometimes has a burning sensation in his testicles after ejaculation. He claims it is because he has not been drinking enough water. Is that a possible cause? What else might be causing this? I'm concerned about STD's being the cause.

HI
thank for asking to HCM
No this is not the sign of any STD but this may be nonspecific complain and will not be happen every time, bit if it does then it has to be investigated not for STD purpose but for other reason the only possibility is stricture of vas deferens but chances of this is very less likely have nice day.

Hello,
He may have epididymitis or orchitis.
Epididymitis is inflammation of the epididymis, which is a tube located at the back of the testicles.
Epididymitis can be caused by a nonsexual infection, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) and prostate infections. However, the most common cause of epididymitis are sexually transmitted infections (STIs)—specifically gonorrhea and chlamydia.
Thus both STD and Non STD may cause orchitis or epididymitis.
If he have STD, you also need to get treated at any cost.
Because re infection and recurrence may occur, if the partner is left untreated.
He need the thorough physical examination by Physician.
He will look for testicular swelling, swelling of the lymph nodes in the groin area, and discharge from the penis.
If there is discharge, doctor will use a swab to collect a sample and test for STIs.
He may also order blood tests.
A complete blood count (CBC) will tell your doctor if there is an infection in your system.
Physician may also ask for a urine sample. Urinalysis (urine test) results can indicate urinary tract infections and STIs.
Imaging tests like Ultrasound can rule out other conditions, such as testicular torsion (a twisted spermatic cord).
Thus please consult your primary care physician as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
Please reply for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
