Re

hey, yes he did take a urine sample, but my urine wasnt cloudy when i took it, would that affect it?


the anti biotics are doing the trick i think, my dull ache has gone but not completely

[Mac7]

hello guys im new here. i just had an orchiectomy last august 10. the biopsy's result will be available by august 31. I was asking my doctor what the masses he took from my left scrotum were, but he said he couldnt give a definite answer until aug 31. But he told me not to worry since the masses he removed were not like those for cancer. He told me not to worry. I think everything is going ok for me right now. The wound from the surgery is healing well and i hardly feel any pain.

I will pray for all of us. I am only 23. By the way I'm here in the Philippines.

How are u manchesterboy? I hope your condition is improving.

That's certainly good news. The antibiotics should do the trick but if they don't make sure you let the doc know.

[Karen]

Glad you went to the doc. Did he take a uringe sample to culture? If the antibiotic do not relieve the discomfort please post back. And if they do, let us know that as well!!!

Re

heu guys,

well i went to the doctors today and told him about my cloudy urine, he said straight away it must be a infection so he gave me some antibiotics

Re

the only signs isee from that is cloudy urine

yep i will push for one thank you

[Karen]

One of the things that most commonly presents with those symptoms is a urinary tract infection. The bladder is full but you can hardly pass any urine, it hurts/burns when you urinate, and you sometimes have blood in your urine. This is from the inlflammation caused by the infection. I am not a doctor and not saying that is what it is, but if you have difficulty urinating, pain, blood and cloudy urine it very well COULD be a UTI. Untreated, a UTI can go to the kidneys and cause lower back pain.

I'm glad you are getting it checked and please make sure the doc answers all your questions before you let him/her run for the door! If you are still concerned about the testicle size or feel push very hard (or make sure your Mum does) to get an ultrasound. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Re

"feel the urge to go but not much comes out"

Re

yes sometimes i have the urge to urine but i don't urine alot, and there is no chance of a sexually transmitted disease

i will get my mum to ring and book a appointment thankyou

[Karen]

Nope....if it's an infection you need antibiotics and waiting a month will NOT be a good idea. Do you have painful urination or feel the urge to go but not much comes out? Any chance of a sexually transmitted disease (we don't need you to answer that...just consider if it's a possibility). I'd suggest you call your doc, tell him you have cloudy urine and pain and and see if you can get a urine sample to put through analysis. Not familiar with the NHS in the UK so I can't help you there.

Re

thanks and i will

but i will have to wait a long time on nhs, my appoitment with the urologist which was last week was down for a emergancy and my appitment was ment to be 7th september i think, but the just sqeezed me in the other due to some cancellations, if the appoitment is late, could i go in through the casulty department ?


if it is a infection, will it go by it self ?

[Karen]

You need a urine culture as well if your urine is cloudy...could simply be an infection. Six weeks of pain with no explanation from the doc is not acceptable. Time to call him back and get an answer.

Re

he said its becuase my 1 remaining testicle is doing all the work for 2 testicles, it isnt pain, but a very dull ache,

i will ask for one thank you

the reason i thin kit is cancer, becuase the symptoms i am having couldnt be anything else could it?

also my urine has been cloudy alot since i had the pain.


the ultrasound will take a long time becuase the nhs is fully booked, it took me a long time just 2 go see the urologist

[dadmo]

Six weeks with pain isn't good. What did the doctor say was causing your problem? Don't assume it's cancer but you deserve an answer. I would call the doctor back and explain how much pain your in and ask him to schedule an ultrasound.
