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'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.

Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.
