Up to 50% of patients may present with no identifiable etiology. Otherwise, pain in the scrotal contents can be due to direct sources, including infection, torsion, tumor, obstruction, varicoceles, spermatoceles, and, rarely, hydroceles, and can occur after direct trauma as well as iatrogenic injury after vasectomy or inguinal hernia repair. Seek in-person medical advice for further information.

This could be something as severe as testicular cancer and should be addressed urgently with your primary care provider. There are some other benign conditions but this should be urgently evaluated.

What could pain with urination mean?

The symptoms would best be addressed in a clinic with a urologist or your primary care provider.

What is the best thing to drink for your prostate health?

There is no one fluid that's "best," but water is generally the recommendation.

My son feels burning when he uses the bathroom?

Albeit rare in a young male, yes. There are multiple other possible sources as well though.

What could be the cause of blood in urine?

There's a wide differential from benign conditions to infections or even cancerous etiologies. This should always be evaluated by your primary care and possibly a urologist.

How are UTIs diagnosed?

Symptoms and urinalysis/urine culture. Seek in person medical care for treatment and diagnosis

What is the best test for a prostate abscess?

There is no single best test, but an MRI is an option. I'd defer to your primary urologist for any medical orders though as they know your entire case.

Could kidney issues be the cause of my lower back pain?

It's best to see your primary care provider to discuss the possibilities.
