What could be causing pain under my testicles and anus?
Pain under the testicles and anus could be related to painful muscle areas or conditions like chronic prostatitis or other infections. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis.
Explanation
Pain in the area under the testicles and anus can be caused by several conditions. One possible cause is painful myofascial trigger points, which are tight spots in muscles that can cause discomfort in nearby areas. This was discussed in the study by Anderson et al., which looked at men experiencing such pain.
Another potential cause could be related to chronic prostatitis, a condition that affects the prostate gland and can lead to pain in the pelvic region. Other infections of the perineal area, genitals or anus/perianal area can also cause perineal pain and need to be evaluated by a healthcare provider.
If you are experiencing this kind of pain, it's important to speak with a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.
