Hello Doctor,
I have a mild low-grade fever, dysuria (painful urination), dull pain in my left testicle, and dull pain radiating down both legs. All these symptoms start in the evening after sunset. What could be causing this?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Experiencing symptoms like mild low-grade fever, dysuria (painful urination), dull pain in the left testicle, and radiating discomfort in both legs, particularly starting in the evening, suggests an underlying medical issue that requires attention. Possible causes include urinary tract infections (UTIs) or prostatitis, which can cause dysuria and mild fever. Epididymitis, an inflammation of the epididymis, can also lead to testicular pain, urinary symptoms, and fever, often due to infections, including sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Additionally, testicular pain may radiate to the legs due to nerve pathways, which could indicate conditions like testicular torsion or varicocele. Though musculoskeletal issues are possible, the presence of fever and dysuria points more toward an infectious cause. It’s crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation. Testing, including urinalysis, ultrasound of the scrotum, or blood tests, may be needed to determine the exact cause. Avoid self-diagnosing, as some conditions can lead to complications if untreated. Monitoring your symptoms, especially changes in pain intensity or urination patterns, is essential for timely treatment. A proper diagnosis and prompt treatment are important to address potential conditions like UTIs, epididymitis, or prostatitis.
