What might be happening
Based on the information you've provided, possible conditions include:
-
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): This is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but some are caused by viruses and fungi. UTIs are more common in women, but men can get them too. Symptoms can include discomfort in the lower abdomen and an uncomfortable sensation in the penis.
- Treatment typically involves antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider.
-
Prostatitis: This is inflammation of the prostate gland, located just below the bladder in men. It can cause discomfort or pain in the testicles and penis.
- Treatment usually involves antibiotics, and in some cases, other medications to relieve symptoms.
-
Epididymitis: This is inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube at the back of the testicle that stores and carries sperm. It can cause discomfort or pain in the testicles.
- Treatment usually involves antibiotics, and in some cases, pain relievers.
What you can do
You should see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, here are some things you can do to help alleviate your symptoms:
- Drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential bacteria in your urinary tract.
- Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods, which can irritate your urinary tract.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers may help with discomfort.
What you should look out for
You should seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following:
- Severe pain in your abdomen or groin
- Blood in your urine or semen
- Difficulty urinating or emptying your bladder
- Fever or chills
