I had some dicomfort passing urine 2 weeks ago after having sex with new partner. Now, less discomfort with this after antibiotics but now have small traces of blood in semen ? Is this an infection or other ' problem ' ? Thanks

i have had 4 episodes of a sore and inflammed testicle in the past 6 months. i have been to a&e and my g.p and they have prescribed me an antibiotic each time, telling me it was just an infection. however i am now slighty more concerned as it has happened again and there is a fluid like lump on the cord that attaches to the testicle.
