Answer
The constipation issue should be directed to your family physician.  

Trouble urinating with flank pain and testicular discomfort in a 28 year old could indicate a kidney stone, possibly located near the bladder area.  This could cause all the symptoms you've mentioned.  You should consult a urologist or your family physician about this.
