Hey, im a 15 year old male with alot of lower back pain and tailbone pain. I also get sharp pains in my rectum and sometimes in my testicles and penis. I feel very uncomfortable going to a doctors office about this. Should i suck it up and go get an exam? Could this be signs of testicular cancer or prostate? Or is it just growing pains?
Hi, thanks for posting your concern in the Chat Doctor.First, I would like to assure you that looking at your symptoms and your age, it seems to me very unlikely that you have a cancer. Now, the second thing is that it is not at all a wise decision to avoid consulting a doctor. My understanding on your case is that you may have got some urogenital infection. Any form of hernia should also be ruled out. I need to know a few more details-1. Do you have fever?2. Do you have any burning sensation during urination?3. Are you having any recent onset increased urgency, frequency during urination or nocturia?4. Are you having any bowel problems? You may need to have the following tests done-Complete blood count, urea, creatinine, electrolytesUrine for routine examination USG of PUB region should consult your local neurosurgeon at the earliest for clinical examination and further management. Please also have plenty of oral fluid. For any further questions, please write back to me.
