Reactive arthritis •reactive arthritis can affect the heels, toes, fingers, low back, and joints, especially of the knees or ankles. •though it often goes away on its own, reactive arthritis can be prolonged and severe enough to require seeing a specialist. Effective treatment is available for reactive arthritis. •reactive arthritis tends to occur most often in men between ages 20 and 50. •most cases of reactive arthritis appear as a short episode. Occasionally, it becomes chronic. •reactive arthritis is a painful form of inflammatory arthritis (joint disease due to inflammation). It occurs in reaction to an infection by certain bacteria. Most often, these bacteria are in the genitals (chlamydia trachomatis) or the bowel (campylobacter, salmonella, shigella and yersinia). Chlamydia most often transmits by sex. It often has no symptoms, but can cause a pus-like or watery discharge from the genitals. The bowel bacteria can cause diarrhea. If you develop arthritis within one month of diarrhea or a genital infection – especially with a discharge – see a health care provider. You may have reactive arthritis. •in the past, it went by the name “reiter’s syndrome.” now it belongs to the family of arthritis called “spondyloarthritis.” the type of treatment for reactive arthritis depends on the stage of reactive arthritis. The early stage of reactive arthritis is considered acute (early). Acute inflammation can be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (often referred to as nsaids). These drugs suppress swelling and pain. They include naproxen (aleve), diclofenac (voltaren), indomethacin (indocin) or celecoxib (celebrex). The exact effective dose varies from patient to patient. The risk of side effects of these drugs, such as gastrointestinal (often called gi) bleeding, also varies. Your doctor will consider your risk of gi bleeding in suggesting an nsaid. The late stage of reactive arthritis is considered chronic. Chronic reactive arthritis may require treatment with a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (sometimes called a dmard) such as sulfasalazine or methotrexate. Sulfasalazine may be more useful when the reactive arthritis is triggered by a gastrointestinal (gi) infection. In some cases, very inflamed joints may benefit from corticosteroid injections (cortisone shots). In more severe cases, stronger immune lowering medications called “biologics” may be used such as etanercept (enbrel) or adalimumab (humira).

Testicular pain is pain or discomfort that is felt in one or both testicles. The pain may originate from the testicles itself, or it may be the result of other conditions affecting the scrotum, groin or abdomen testicular pain can be an acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) condition. The testicular pain may be constant or intermittent. Potential causes of testicular pain are varicocele, hydrocele, jerk, injury, twisting, kidney stones, infection, hernia, nerve damage, fluid buildup and inflammation. Many times testicular or scrotum pain is due to. When you are in sexual arousal mood for a long period of time without any discharge… example you are reading or watching porn material or you are with your girlfriend in a common place like in garden or somewhere. And you both are in a sexual mood while talking or reading or watching a porn material but there cannot be any discharge because of the public places. After that when you come out of that sexual arousal mood. You will feel a tremendous pain in your scrotum.

These are some steps you can take to reduce this pain. Wear an athletic supporter or langot or tight underwear to provide support 2 the testicles. Use ice packs. Place a rolled up towel under your scrotum if you’re lying down. Take warm baths. Try non-prescription pain relievers.

Hello- a condition known as urethritis occurs when the urethra gets infected and inflamed. Some men can have urethritis and have no symptoms at all. But most men would experience burning pain while urinating, notice discharge from the penis, have the constant urge to urinate, endure itching around the groin area, and have a painful feeling inside the penis and painful ejaculations. Over-masturbation can be one of the factors that trigger the chronic prostatitis and urethral irritation that lead to urethritis. People that suffer from urethritis with a very high frequency of habitually masturbation can damage the varicose veins inside their penis. Bruising and painful ejaculations would occur often. Fortunately, it is curable.
