I asked questions a couple months ago but I am still having pain left testicle.
Dr.said ultrasound looked ok but I can feel an obvious difference n what I think is the left n right tube behind the testicles.
I had lab done ua looked ok I think it was dipstick.
I also had CBC with diff done on 3/15 wbc 5.4 abs neut 4001 abs lymp 864
My dr did lad on 27th n wbc 4.3 abs lymph 0.68
Looks like these were sent to diff labs so values are read differently.
Should I be concerned with the liw levels since they got even lower.
Could it be connected to painfull testicle?
Cant get back to see urologist till Wed.
Had spots in undetware twice last week but may have been precum.
Sometimes feels like irration in urethea but not constant.
Dr. had ne try Flomax looked like was totally emptying my bladder.
I stopped taking it due to SE.

Welcome back yet again, but I'm afraid we can't really help this time. As discussed in your previous two threads, your problem is not caused by any STD -- and STDs are the only topics we address on this forum. We are not a site to sort out the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of non-STD genital symptoms. You should ask your urologist these questions. I'll just say quickly that your lab values do not look abnormal, and it means nothing if these test numbers vary from one time the test is done to the next. If within the normal range, there's nothing to worry about.
---
If your testicular pain is so severe you cannot wait the 4 days until your appointment, call the office for advice (someone will be covering over the weekend), and perhaps arrange for an earlier appointment.
---Sorry I can't be more helpful. Best wishes--

What stds can cause epididymis ?
If someone has it does it always have other symptoms other than pain and swelling to single testicle? If someone has std can you spread other body parts ie if someone masterbates and has precum on hands rubs eyes or if they have throat infection and use saliva as lubricant.
Sorry for more questions.I did see urologist but he didnt seem to have a exspanded knowledge of std.

The only STDs known to cause epididymitis are gonorrhea and chlamydia; it has been proved you have neither one. There are many non-STD causes, including bacterial urinary tract infection (which you do not have), and certain drugs can cause epididymitis as a side effect. However, from all you say, I very much doubt you have epididymitis, which would have shown up on testiclar ultrasound. Testicular pain alone is not evidence of epididymitis. Your urologist remains the best source for ongoing care, including questions about the cause(s) of your symptoms. It remains certain you have no STD, and I suspect no infection of any kind.---

I understand that this will be my final question and I will not submit any future questions from this encounter.
Can reactive arthritis cause bleparitis (which is what optamologist is thinking I miht have )
I also have been to go see orthopedic doctor about my painfull heel.I wasnt linking it to anyything related to eyes but was worried it could be related to my neurofibromotosis.
(I say heel because I only have 1 other leg amutatuon below the knee)
Could RA be a cause for both heel pain and bleparitis.
Also is it possible to transfer a sti from 1 part of the body to another ie.
If you have been masterbating and have precum on your fingers and rub your eyes.
Again thank you for your time n patience.
I really Iam trying to get through this and will be seeking therapist this week

No, transfer of STDs from one infected area to another part of the body is extremely rare, if it occurs at all. But tthis is irrelevant, since you have no STD anyway. I have no comment on these non-STD clinical conditions you are asking about. As I said above, this forum deals only with STDs. I agree, however, that your comments suggest psychological counseling probably is a good idea. Best wishes with it. But this will have to be your last question about all this. This forum does not permit repeated questions on the same topic or exposure. This will have to be your last one; future new questions along these lines will receive no reply and the posting fee will not be refunded. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thanks for your understanding. ---
