I've been feeling a slight pain and discomfort right above my penis, like two fingers' width above, and it's a bit more to the left side. Plus, there's a heaviness in the area around my testicles. This has been going on for about two weeks now. Is this something normal or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about it?

The symptoms you're describing, including slight pain above the penis, heaviness in the testicles, and a specific location of the pain, warrant medical attention; possible causes range from epididymitis, orchitis, or a groin strain to more serious conditions like testicular torsion or a hernia; schedule an appointment with a urologist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allWhile having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?
The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist

I'm having this consistent mild pain in my testicle, mostly on the left side. My doctor thought it might be epididymitis and put me on antibiotics, but it's been three weeks and I'm still in pain and feeling uncomfortable. I've had ultrasounds for my scrotum, kidneys, and bladder, and everything seems normal. I also got my testosterone levels checked, and it's at 327 ngdL. Is this a normal situation, or should I be worried about something else going on?
A testosterone level of 327 ngdL is not typically a cause for concern, and it is not usually linked to epididymitis. If your symptoms persist despite antibiotic treatment, it's important to follow up with your doctor, as there may be other underlying factors contributing to the ongoing pain.
