See your doctor: You're too young to have erectile dysfunction, so with all your other problems, you need to see your doctor.

See your doctor...: You have multiple urologic complaints: erectile dysfunction, urinary tract infection and testicular pain. I would recommend seeing your doctor and having a physical exam including a rectal exam. A urinalysis and urine culture can help diagnosis a uti. You may need to see a urologist.
