Question 1

can e-coli bacteria which is directly entering the bloodstream by a razor blade cause an enlarged testicle or an intestinal abscess? thank you.

Accepted Answer

No: Not by itself.  E coli enter your bloodstream every time you pass stool.  There needs to be some other reason for you to have infections at these other places.

Question 2

pain & inflammation on right testicle. pus cells in semen and urine analysis. e.coli was found in urine culture. why and what causes this? is it stds?

Accepted Answer

Epididymitis: You need to see a urologist and have this condition assessed thoroughly.  As already indicted, the e. Coli may or may not be of significance and you must place its isolation from the urine in the proper clinical context.  Go and see someone soon. Unlikely to be std but if you have been exposed, go and get tested. Good luck and best wishes.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

U have: Been seen by a doctor, as you had tests done and given appropriate treatment.
I have 2 advice for you: be patient and follow doctors order and drink, drink a lot, use cranberry in form of juice or pills.
If things do not resolve in 7-10 days go see a urologist who will have to figure out why do you have the infection and why does not clear up.

Question 4

i had uti several times. i experience pain in my testicles after urination and sometimes there is swelling in the veins on my testes. i got a culture done and it had e.coli; there are pus cells in semen and urine. any treatment?

Accepted Answer

gynecomastia: There are medications that can cause gynecomasia, as well as excessive use of cannabis. Teen age boys often have some, and sometimes it does not regress with adulthood.  Excessive estrogen is a very rare cause.  Gynecomastia needs to be distinguished from obesity.  Supplements are not your answer. See your doctor.

Accepted Answer

: A small, painful lump as you describe may be related to the vas deferens or epididymis, but without knowing its location it is hard to make a determination.  The best option is to see your physician for diagnosis and treatment, or if need be, referal to a urology specialist,

Question 8

Question 9

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: This needs an exam before a diagnosis and recommendation for treatment can be provided.

Question 10

can masturbating too much cause your testicles to hurt? i have pain on my right side thats dull just the one

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: Frequency of masturbation varies a lot. For some, once every 8 wks seems too much; but for others, once every 8 hrs seems not enough. One should maybe cut back if he often thinks of doing it less, if he starts feeling guilty about it, if it interferes with daily activities such as school or work, if it causes testicular swelling or pain, etc...  A doctor can examine to be sure the testis is ok.
