Question:
Ok, for the past year now i've had this really awful pain in my right testicle. Since it began, i've undergone urology visits, four perscriptions of bactrum, and many doctor visits. They didn't know what was up. Now, i think i know. The pain is at the tip of my right testicle and every time I ejaculate this really chunky sperm comes out and the pain either subsides or goes away for a few days or even months. The pain is really intense though and i want to know whether this chunky sperm is building up in the tube that carries sperm out of the body to cuase the pain? Is there anything to do to prevent this from happening? The only relief is from ejaculating, which isn't cool when its repetitive to relieve the pain.

The anticipation and experience of pain with ejaculation will most certainly inhibit the joy of sex. Painful ejaculation is a serious problem and requires medical treatment. An infection and inflammation of the prostrate is often responsible. A virus can also invade the testicle. This condition ( orchitis) is usually very painful and can cause a swelling and shrinking of the testicle. Treatment with antibiotics and warm baths usually will cure the infection and help the inflamation. I am glad to hear that you are working with your urologist. Make sure the two of you continue to find the solution. The "Chunky sperm," in itself may not be a problem. Such a consistency of seminal fluid can be normal. Increasing you fluid (water 32 oz a day or more) intake can help to increase the volume of your ejaculate. If you have a concern about your future fertility you could have a semen analysis Normal sperm count is between 20 and 80 million per cc with good swimming (motility) ability. The most important thing you can do is to work with your urologist.
