For basic info about myself I am 34 years old and went to my family doctor in early June for testicular pain which at that point had been going on for four months accompanied in the last month with delayed finishing with the wife (an hour to 1.5 hours) which was causing problems for us. Doctor ordered tests for STD’s which of course came back negative so he scheduled an ultra sound for the pain and two anti-anxiety meds for the delay issue (never did take the Xanax because after reading about one of the side effects was delay in finishing).
Also asked if I could get my T level checked again because of the delay as some internet forum said its possible. Ultrasound came back with cysts on veins what ever that means but no cancer or infection so no worry. First result (posted below was) was 245 ng/dl . So my doctor ordered an expanded test and referred me to a urologist. The urologist said I do not have cancer or infection and testosterone should come up have a good day nothing he can do if I do not have cancer or an infection no followup needed. I asked him what the hell the pain was that had been going on for five months and he said take Advil. I could go on but whats the point?
Yes I check off a lot of the symptoms on the for signs for low test but my GP seems to think its related to my OCD and I need Zoloft (which I have refused so far). Last I checked untreated OCD does not prevent morning wood or random erections but what do I know. Oh and I eat relatively healthy and go to the gym 3 days a week if that makes a difference.
