Prostate problems at 18 (& erectile dysfunction)

[Dan543]

Hi, I am really in need of some help here - getting quite worried.

I'm 18, slim. Had blood tests come back fine recently. It's not possibly an STD.

My symptoms are as follows:
Urine stream not very fast, slow to start & dribbling - more than a year
Quite frequent urination, more than I used to - past few months
Lower abdominal aching (it's like pressure) - past few months
Erectile dysfunction (even when on my own) - about 3 months
Testicular pain (had them checked, apparently ok) - past month

I've also noticed some sort of lump in the scrotum above the left testicle, could be a varicocele or maybe epididymitis - but the urologist didn't mention (or notice) it after checking.

Urine has been checked twice in the past year with no issues. Finally got referred to a urologist and saw them the other day, prostate was checked but he couldn't identify anything. I'm about to move so he was unable to send me for tests so he's referring me to what will be my local hospital to have tests done, but I am very worried about it.

I don't think ED is psychological as I have been through periods where I am not stressed in the slightest (e.g. holiday) yet the problem was still there. I am also pretty happy usually, until this became a problem!

I've noticed very recently that I have been having more bowel movements than usual, any reason for this?

I'm worried it may be prostatitis, but I am not sure.

Forgot to mention, last year I was prescribed a drug for 30 days to get rid of UTI / Prostitis, it may have helped a little but it didn't get rid completely. I did forget to take it on a few days after a couple of weeks had passed but they won't seem to give me them again.

I wonder - are prostate supplements worth taking?
