I've been dealing with pain in both my testicles and thighs for about a year now, and I'm not sure if I should see an orthopedic specialist or a urologist. Could pain in the testicles and groin area be causing the discomfort in my thighs, or is that something different? I'd really appreciate some advice from either a urologist or an orthopedic specialist on who to consult first. I've asked before but didn't get a clear answer, so I'm hoping for some clarity this time.

Visit a Urologist first to evaluate the testicular pain. The urologist may perform physical exams, ultrasounds, or other tests to identify any underlying conditions in the reproductive system. If the urologist rules out any urological causes and suspects the issue may be muscular or nerve-related, you can then visit an orthopedic specialist for further evaluation of the thigh pain.

I have multiple cysts on my testis, including three larger ones and many smaller ones. Is there any treatment option besides surgery? Also, how can I confirm if these are actually cysts or something else what tests would be needed for that?
Yes, there are some treatment options for multiple testicular cysts besides surgery, and several tests can help confirm the diagnosis. Initially, an ultrasound of the scrotum is a good first step. In some cases, aspiration (draining the fluid) or percutaneous sclerotherapy (killing the cyst cells with an injection) might be options. Surgical removal is usually reserved for larger cysts or those causing pain or other complications

I'm really concerned about my father's condition. He's had an enlarged prostate for the past two years, and despite taking medication, there hasn't been any improvement. The report says his prostate size is 284435mm, with a volume of 24cc, and it's mildly enlarged with normal echotexture. He still has to rush to the toilet frequently. What should we do next? Is there any other treatment or approach we should consider?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with accurate information. _HIV Symptoms and Timeline_ HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with most people experiencing symptoms within 2-3 weeks. The fever you experienced within 18 hours of exposure is unlikely to be related to HIV. _Other Possible Causes of Fever_ Consider other possible causes of your fever, such as: 1. _Other STIs_: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STIs could cause fever. 2. _Viral infections_: Common viral infections like the flu or a cold could cause fever. 3. _Allergic reactions_: An allergic reaction to something else could cause fever. _Reducing HIV Risk_ Although you used a condom, the 5-second bare skin contact may pose a minimal risk. However: 1. _Condom efficacy_: Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: If you're concerned about HIV exposure, consult a healthcare provider about PEP within 72 hours of exposure. _Next Steps_ 1. _Get tested_: Consider getting tested for HIV and other STIs 2-3 weeks after exposure. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Discuss your concerns and symptoms with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about HIV or other STIs.
