I am a bicycle rider and recently began having issues.  The very opening of my penis is red and irritated. I also have some incontinence all of a sudden.  My urologist did cipro  - then ibuprofen 800mg - neither of which changed symptoms.  There has definitely been a change. ...

    Ever noticed if your penis feels cold when its at its most irritable? I empathize with you, really painful this especially when your bladder is semi full or full Obviously its your decision but have you stopped to think, has a urologist recommended this cystoscopy because he thinks it necessary or is it just to ease your worry that there might,just might be something there?Don't do it for the latter reason.. . Ciproflox is an antibiotic ibrufen an anti -inflammatory so he has treat you for an infection and imflammation nothing detected he will look into your bladder at your prostate and urethra using a cystoscope nothing there and thats it like me you will have to live with it. I am not a biker but Iwalk/run miles each day .. any connection..?

    Thank God - I thought I was losing my mind! OK here is what I know.  Growing up I worked at the local pool and wore wet trunks a lot and like the bike rider and soccer player there is a lot of friction.  Years ago more than 15 I had the same irritation on the tip of my penis and as everyone else has agreed, all doctors says its nothing?

     

    Ironically I just got back from vacation, a week in the sun and terribly spicy food and on day 7 I got the tip irriatation again red swollen painful - have been married 14 years so even though I haven't had other partners I definately think there is a relation ship to Diet, moisture, and friction to the area.

     

    Dousing yourself with Gold Bond Medicated powder (stings a bit) but helps a lot.  Having all the normal tests run just for my sanity and peace of mind.  I want to thank all of you for the comments knowing the commonality of this helps greatly and assures me that I am not crazy, good luck to all.

    Two years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer -- I had external radiation followed by radio active seed inplantation (braki therapy, spelling?). Ever since then I continue to suffer with painful urination -- burning in the urethra -- and at night I have to get up 10 to 15 times when I feel the urgency to urinate and can't! Sometimes the pain is unbearable but it does get better during the day. I do have periods when things get better, even at night but the problem soon comes back. My Urologist has done all the testing that is considered appropriate, urinalisis, scope, etc.-- he finds nothing!

    Is there anything that can be done to give me some relief?

    Thanks,

    Den

    Hey,

     

    I'm not sure if this helps but it just might. Someone mentioned damaged nerves and is now getting treatment.

    I don't know if this will help, but sometimes the simple approach is the best at least untill you can figure out what is really going on. I had that same high frequency of night time trips to the bathroom, and a burning sensation when I would pass urine.  The Urologist said I had an enlarged prostate.  A prescription of Rapidflo did help the flow rate, but caused my ejaculate to backfire into the bladder. The Urologist said that it was no big deal but some men didn't like that particular side effect. I threw the Rapidflo away after two days. I read up on the subject and found that Ibuprophen from the drug store was good to reduce inflammation, so I took one of these every night (too much is not good for your liver) That did help quite a bit, and then I put an ice pack under my butt and as close to the area as possible at night without freezing myself and that also helped even more.  So now the problem is looking more like inflammation is the worst of the problem. No human organ can function properly if it is inflamed.

     

    I have now started on Super Beta Prostate (which is mail order) plus the Pro Cran plus at the normal two a day for each.  After two weeks there is some improvement, and I think I am down to two or three trips to the bathroom at night.  The burning sensation is almost 100% gone.

     

    I am 60 years old, so my digestion is not what it used to be. I  noticed that what is waking me up is pressure on the bladder. It's not really from being full, but from digestive gas!! So this is what is really waking me up now, not really from having to go the bathroom because the bladder is full.

     

    Another thing is that you have to realize that at night you might be getting a partial erection (no sex for a while?) and an urge to urinate at the same time. If this happens, your normal valve system inside the penis will keep you from urinating because the valves are set up to prevent you from urinating when you have sex. If you have noticed it is very difficult to ejaculate and urinate at the same time! So you will have to wait untill your erection goes away before your stream can really get going.

     

    Maybe vegetairanism would be helpful to get the acid level down. I will never go to a regular doctor again unless I break my leg. THE ONLY THING THEY KNOW IS HOW TO PROSCRIBE DURGS AND DO SURGERIES WHICH ONLY SUPRESS THE SYMPTOMS!!

     

     

     

    Good luck.

    re: Urethral irritation cured with Tea Tree Oil

    Like most of the guys who have posted here, I experienced very similar symptoms too without being successfully cured by my doctor. First a little background, my syptoms appeared suddenly and included pain at the tip of the penis, a burning sensation when urinating and frequent urination.

     

    I went to my doctor who perfomed a urinanalysis, an STD screening, and a prostate exam. My doctor insisted upon a STD screening although I had not been sexually active for at least the prior 4 weeks. The STD results and prostate exam were negative and although he never disclosed the results of the urinalysis, he placed me on a broad spectrum antibiotic for 10 days and also gave me medications for the pain and burning.

     

    For about a month after I exhausted all the medication, I continued to feel pain at the tip of my penis. I would awake and feel pretty good, but then throughout the day the pain would return. Day after day I continued to feel pain and knew that something was still wrong. Therefore, I contacted my doctor who told me there was nothing they could do but that if I continued to feel pain I would have to see an urologist. At this point I began to question if the pain was in my head, could it all be psychosomatic? I tried to think positive, telling myself that I was healed and that there was nothing wrong with me however, I continued to experience pain.

     

    What has cured me is tea tree oil. I purchased a 1/2 ounce bottle of 100% tea tree oil and placed 10-12 drops in a tub of warm water and soaked in it for about 15 minutes. Now I feel perfectly fine. I'm a runner and have resumed exercising again without any discomfort from the fabric of my shorts irritating my penis.

     

    One word of caution, tea tree oil is not meant to be used full strength on sensitive areas. Please dilute it before using it or you may end with a more serious problem. I was afraid to apply it directly to my penis, even in a diluted state so I diluted it even further by placing 10 to 12 drops in a bath of water.

     

    Lastly, buy a good name brand of oil guys. I asked the clerk and he pointed out the two that worked the best. I purchased the brand called "Tea Tree Therapy" that comes in a brown bottle with a green and white label. It was the best $7.49 I ever spent to get my health and sanity back.

    I to have had simular problems, it seems to occur more on hot days when working outside. there were also a few other symptoms in my case, sore joints. After a couple of trips to the doctors and two MRI's they decided to due the blood test, wich came back with high uric acid levels(GOUT) once I started the meds and a major change in diet, things begin to get better.Allthough staying on the diet is hard to due I realize when I cheat the diet the symptoms start up. The tip of my penis becomes red irratated dry blister like and the milky discharge, this lasts for at least 3 days before I can get it back under control. I don't know if this will help any of you. but thats my story

    hello i am 16.  I recently had oral sex, it was my first time and im not sure quite what happened. Maybe i got hit by her teeth or something im not quite sure. My penis  has redness from the tip to the skin again(when i pull the skin back) it stings occasionally, especially while rubbing against my boxers or pants. I have the occasional dribbles that just come and go, i can't help those. Sometimes it stings while i pee but not always. does nayone have an idea whta i have or what to do?

    Sounds as though you have picked up an STD most likely the "Clap". You need to be tested along with your partner and treated if test is postive. The test can be obtained for free at your local health department.

    red urethra infection irritation and candida fungus growth
    SuperSub
    Thursday, February 12, 2009 at 03:34 AM

    Dear Fellows

     

    I been through tipness red at urethra.

    here are some pointers and expericnces and would  like toshare and i hope we all learns somehting and share

     

    FIRST GIRLFRIEND GAVE ME ngu (possibley cycythistis)...SECOND ONE GAVE ME THRUSH..i had herpes before that. i did injest myself with shark liver oil but becareful not to overload it - that will give u heatiness - but intrestingly enough - my herpes was 4 months late than usual. i not sure if it works. but that happened. can try.

     

    I KNOW..WHAT LUCk.

     

    here are the pointers :

     

    1) dont drink or smoke - its like being in a hospital -when ur down..u cant take this stuff. - dont even take it when u recover -its ur choice.

    i did recover from candida which took 2 months..but i was doing very very very light drinking beeer and  few smokes( 1 a day) but i got back candida plus now a red urethra.

     

    2) no spicy food - no milk - no sugars - no white bread -minimal meat (no red meat )-no coffee- organic tea is fine - but avoid it altogether if you can

     

    3) ok. things u got to take to help cure this -

     

    1) the course of doxycline or whatever antibiotics doc gives u ..try 2 weeks if stil infection in you.

      - point i like to make is when u recover - u will see stress in your penis - this are post NGU sympthoms etc...anything which been thru stress needs time to heel or might never heel completely. so guys relax! TS NORMAL !

    i been thru this !

     

    2) take saw palmetto - cranberry extracts on seperate occasions spread it throughout the day twice - grape seed oil and fresh lemon in warm water ( total 8 big cups a day ) spread it the day - this is twice a day

    3) DRINK LOTS OF LUKE WARM WATER!! .-  to remove the toxins

    4) think positive that u will be cured or u would get much better and u will get thru this - mind plays a part - why i say this - just think when ur asleep pain is not there - possibly ur not moving -but still..the mind plays a part. keep telling urself u will recover thru this

     

    4) for candida guys - afte showers pull the skin backward and let it air for 10 mins - make sure its dry and then u apply the generously the antifungal creams plus tetracycline ointment 3 times a day for 2 weeks - i did recover finally. but came back after 5 months - i think it was hygene and drinking etc - not worth it guys. trust me.

    but im much much better now. living take it eeasy and at least healthy :)

     

    5) after peeing..just wet the tip to free of urine and wipe drywith kleenex GENTLY

     

    6) eat fresh vegetables and fruits - and non sugar plain yogurt

     

    7) no bananas or high sugar fruits - funguus goes wild on sugar

     

    8_ wear boxer shorts - and apply light layer vaseline evey 3 days to reduce any friction - your discretion

     

    9) first two months on course of medicines - dont do sex - just light masturbation every2-3 days - why ?? to remove the toxins in u ( as some urologists suggests here). use your discretion and not let fungus run all over  your penis -

     

    Bottom line is u will get heel. u will just feel NGU post symthoms(slight pains from the scarring). so just apply vaseline light every 3 days somewhat- helps the bdy and mind to relief

     

    think positive that wuwill get out of it. then things happen in Faith i guess:)

    best of Luck - SuperSub

    Hello,

    I came to this board about a year ago.  I went to a "massage" parlor and the girl was very "aggressive."  My junk hurt for weeks.  I got all of the STD checks because she did a little "slip and slide" lap dance that freaked me out.  After all STD's were negative, I started searching the boards.  Two weeks and nothing.  I went to my primary care doc and he said I was too rough on the junk.  He prescribed me a petroleum jelly with a topical antibiotic.  It took a few more weeks and it was gone.  I have to tell you, I had to completely stop masturbating to get rid of it.  After it got better, but not gone, I started masturbating with a lotion.  I did this for about 4 more weeks.  That was the end of that.

     

    Here's why I'm back.  I got the top 3 blowjob of all time the other day.  However, I hurt almost immediately.  By now, I can't find the stupid lotion that the doctor gave me, but I remember him saying it's Vaseline with an anti-bacterial.  Well, I don't think there's any bacteria there, so I've just started using Vaseline.  It TOTALLY helps with the discomfort.  USE VASELINE.  I'm not kidding.  It takes all of the friction out of the situation.  I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about every morning, afternoon, and night.  Slather it on tell you feel silly about it.  It works.  I've only felt sore about 10 days now and it's almost gone.  I probably would already be good, but I've masturbated a few times and had some hard sex that aggravated it.

     

    Good luck all.  Hope this helps.

    Dear Fellows -

     

    i concurr to guy who said the above measuremens to prevent and get better in penis injuries or even STD's post scarring pains -

     

    just like to add that i did all the above - i did get better - problem was - when i did drink alittle and smoke a cigarrete a day , i got back the burning sensation.

     

    basically this are the things as above -

     

    1) treatment with doxychline( or change to erithomizine if does  work for u ) for 14 days or more depending

    2) drinks lotsof cranberry juice and cranberry extract juice

    3) exericse

    4) possible a can drink once a week -( hell no - hell yes) - avoid would be the best

    5) no smookes - the tar actually reaches your urethra finally -

    6) use vaseline once a while 3 days or some..apply alight layer so reduces any friction

    7) have manuka honey or good honey - it heals wounds by nature -not too much. or u will burn again - every 3 days..very very small amounts -1/4 tea sppoon. varies on invidiuals

    8) asas age catches up like me at 37 - the healings r slower.. trust me..- i been thru this last 7 years

    9) lots of lots of water- poosibly do a water parade - luke warm water would be good

    10) no rough sex- sex is how u manipulate a woman ' lve - i made a woman squirt twice -so i know something. just twice.- lots of foreplay guys--and then not take much to get her to come and strangely squirt - 25 mins foreplay..yes i know it sucks)

     

    11) cut your meat - eat more raw vegs if possible

    12) no coffeeno spicy food - or dried chillies especially - no too much spices!

    chill is fine..justas long its fresh . but minimal

    13) just eat right if u wanna live fucking happily. think abt it. cooffee beer or sex??

     

    The rest is up to you  to follow:) this is my experience. Good luck :)

    p.s : Check the gout thing also - high uric acid thing. could be anything.

    dear fellows -

    after taking all the natural stuff -saw palmetto-cranberry sextract - grapeseed extracts...- i keep having the urethra red and saw small like acne at the tip of the urethra on the inside. the of the urethra seems red . the openings ends - like inflamed like lips of the urethra.

     

    i used hydrotherm9( i think hydrocosotine- steroid based substance) did not work much and tetracycline or i think at all for my case.

     

    so i figured its not an inflamation which is the cause -

     

    but after i thought a while  and noticed when i used the bacterial cream on the whole head of the penis ..the symhtoms disapear. so what i did was - applied it on the inside of the urethra.

     

    funny thing was..almost instant the acne and inflamtion disapeaered which was there for almost a month. its been just 2 hours..but i just like to share this with u guys.

     

    this ithe brand name - its available at counters - its called candid cream -c omposition -clotrimazole usp-1% has preservatives- methlyparaben bp - proplyparaben and benzyl alcohol -manufactured by glenmark pharmacheuticals

     

    i did even applied tetracycline ointment(antiseptic ointment)..and not worked well.

     

    lets just see what happens. will update u guys

    i think it looks promosing( touch wood)

    dear sir
    i realised u mentioned u r sweet tooth and smoke

    so dont  drink no coffee no nothing


    but saw palmetoo extracts . helps for me in general penis health.

    cranberry i not sure. but can try.

    try not doing all that. a redness at the opening did come to me back just becasue i started back with VERY VERY VERY light smokeinng and drinking.
    fungus grows wild on sugar. so cut out the sugar and carbs .no white bread or milk.


    eat alot of vegetables raw.

     

    wash ur self with no soap. try kitchen salt in water ( till it taste like salt water)
    use clitomozale ( dont know how to spell it - candida cream) for 2 weeks. put it in THE URETHRA! PUT IT IN .NOT JUST OUTSIDE. 3 times a day
    drink lots of lots of water. no citrusfruits beaucse it will irritate u. out the lemon juice alittle in warm water. drink lots lots lots of warm water. to clear ur alkiline.
    it could be balanitis in my opninon.

    and keep away sex. a normal soft handjob every 3 days to remove the toxins or anything in u.

     

    try it. my symptoms improved. but im still on it coz i had too much sugar drinks. and i believe it cameback.

    after showers pull skin backward and let it dry for ten mins. through out the day pull the skin backwards and give it some air.

     

    do not use petroleum ointment like gels or vaseline or sorbelene. it will block the pores of the penis.
    good luck.

    But I took steps and the fungal seem to have reduced and inflamtion of the urethra rdeuced. I changed my diet.

     

    I followed the Candida diets - many around a site.

     

    I follwed strictly -

    here are just the basic steps whichi followed

     

    1) very strict no sugar in diet that would include fresh fruits!!!!! no FRESH FRUITS!

    2) eat alot of raw salads but no carrots - i ate white reddish and cucumbers

    3) alot of plain yogurt

    4) no cow milk of any form - no alcohol - no caffein - no tea( but i have this no milk in it)- no spicy food

    5) no white bread or rice - fungus grows on this

    6_) i took grapefruit extracts twice a day-IMPORTANT

    7_ drank alot ALOATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTof WARM water

    8) washed my penis with sodium chloride solution0.9 - twice a day

    9_ DRY PENIS after shower - let it air for ten mins

    10) when urinating hold skin back - dont let the urine touch the skin.

    11) then rinse with water and dry it again

    12) wear boxer shots - use cooling powder to to keep yourself dry in the thigh area.

    13) try pulling skin backwards when ur at work and leave it - fungus die in dry open air

    14) do not use petrol gels(SORBELENE OR ANYTHING) to wash your penis - just use sodium chloride guys

     

    List goes on in the candida diet - FOLLOW STRICTLY AND TAKE AWAY ALL THE THINGSYOU WAT THAT COZ CANDIDA !

     

    I improvved alot. slight pain in urinating but inflamations gone in 3 days -

    FEEL MUCH MUCH BETTER -THANK YOU GOD:)

     

    You got nothing to looose -just try it.

    Could be the diet this inflamtions are wrecking havock in us.

    i WAS DRINKING ALOT OF MILK AND DRINKING BEER AND STARTED MY SMOKING AND IT WAS JUST LIGHT SMOEKING ONLY - I CIGARTTE A WEEK

     

    then iwent thru this hell.

     

    I hope this works out for you guys.

    re: urethral irritation penis red opening pain - acidic

    Sunday, April 12, 2009 at 08:07 PM

    dear guys

    i been through 4 months of pain in my junks. i think i have somehwat a good cure of t least 95 % recovery.

     

    was due to unhygenis reasons and i had a rough oral sex from a woman with a ear peice on her tounge. could have injured my penis.

     

    ALL THIS THINGS  PLS NOTE NEED TIME TO HEAL. MASTEURBATING AND SEX WILL NOT HELP IT. TRY DOING ONLY TWICE A WEEK. AND LIGHTLY !!!! :)

     

    i have hsv2 herpes 2 which occur every 6 months

    history of NGU and thrush exposure

    sugar level normal and uric acid normal.

    all STD negative. possible NGU

    Rapid HIV test negative

    syphilis negative

    took one mweek doxyxline and then a dosage of some strong medicine - somehting like penicilin. still had no change in penis - still had pains and tip red

     

    so doctor gave second round of medicine.

     

    took amoxycline one week with doxycline 2 weeks together.

    possible unhygenic reason why my penis was infected

     

    still had pain on urinating and tip still looked red at the opening.

    BUT i realised when i drank some salt water or drank fresh lemon juice put in warm water my penis looked red and looked relief . the redness tip at penis disappears.

     

    so i figured that my penis had an infection or gets irritated with the type of food i ate and need time to heal.

     

    so i cut the following things as i read this forum:

     

    1_ no alcohol, coffee- or even tea!no wine -no smoking - no spicy food at all !!!

    2) no milk products. sort of you are treating a yeast infection

    3_ reduce all acidic food - check sites to know what it is

    4) eat more fruits(some fruits acidic - check ) and vegeatbles and cut the meat( as it is acidic) down minimal (includes fish) but note the acidic ones especially

    5) aside from that : took 500 mg vitmain C (for inections and immune booster) x 3 times a day , vitamin E IU 400 x2 times a day ( for scar skin  recovery of taking all the antibiotics ) - and multi mineral pilss which includes mineral dosage of 15mg a day ZINC x 1 or 2 a day ( for wound healing)

    . also took olive leaf extract (against virus and bacteria) x one a day and manuka honey( for wound healing) one or twice a day mixed with in warm glass water-

     

    dRINKS LOTS OF WARM WATER !!!! LOTS OF IT!! dont forget this

    when u take all this medicine u need cleanse ur bladder and get this medicine in fluid state in u and removes the inefctions and bacteria etc in u.!!

     

    take this stuff alternating oeve a week . take olive leaf extract alternate days. look at homw much ur body can take it. dont over do it.

     

    6) dont sex or masturbate - do it 3 days or more. to remove anything bad in u. it just irritates the penis - and wound healing taking months - so u got to give time - i am giving myself 6 months- its like a broken bone tissue injuries - all this need time

     

    7) after bathing dry ur penis off for 15 mins minimunm with skin retracted . give it some air

    8) i did not drink cranberry juice in my case as it known to be ACIDIC !!! - unless it requires each case to case basis

    9) if infections persists - put tea tree oil seven drops in warm water and wash ur penis or put half squeezed lemon in warm water and dip ur penis in it for 15 mins.

     u will be amazed how reliefing it is and what esxactly could be the coz of infection just by how vitmain c in lemon can helps .

     

    10_ i also use sunflower oil and extrave virgiv olive oil mixed together in 2 big cups of water warm please.  used this everyday.

     

    11) one more thing do this meditation - place ur tounge tip on top of of the wall in your mouth and think inwards - ur mind will be at ease - and u will feel better psychologically. - at some points ur mind will feel less tense and u will see light - part of yoga to awaken the helaing mechanism in our bodies - read more

     

    12_ exercise to remove toxins in body - light ones.

     

    our bodies could be aicidic thus slows recovey as in my case or any diseases or illness. this is a fact !!!! and our urine is acidic which could be part of the reason casuing the irritations and not recovery. so take all this precuations. it helped me loads. penis used to be red. now 95 % ok.

    just by taking the above steps.

     

    Good luck guys :)

    Hi, guys.
    I want to post my problem.

     

    One year ago I´ve had sex with a girl with candida.

    One day later the sex, my penis was with balanopostitis. The glans was swollen and it created a ring besides de glans. My glans skin was 'descamating'

    I have a tremendous itch in my glans and in my urethra. After 4 months the infectation, my bladder became heavy, and i want to urinate every 10 minutes, the first thing i do in the morning was going to bathroom to urinate. Sometimes i wake up in the middle of night to urinate.

     

    I´ve gone to 6 doctors til now.

     

    First: Urologyst

    Gave me ciprofloxacino. He think i was with gonorreia.

     

    Second: Urologyst

    The first take me cetoconazol (oral) + clotrimazol (local)

    The outside itch gets better, but in the urethra kept the same itch.

     

    Third: Urologyst

    Ask me to put my penis in a permanganato de potassio solution.

    The outside itch gone.

     

    Note: I have unprotected sex with another girl about just 10 seconds.

    One day later she was complaining about pain while urinating and was diagnosticated with Candida Albicans. So till that day my Candida wasnt cured.

     

    Fourth: Urologyst

    Take me fluconazol 300mg one dose.

    This medication really improved my itch in the urethra. I think i was going to be cured, so took another 300mg one week later and more 300mg one week later.

    For about one month i havent had any itch issues in my urethra.

    Before that time, i realized that the itchs became enter in the urethra again, and i was really depressed.

     

    Fifth: Urologyst

    Gave me Azi 1g. He said that if the itch was in the urethra so it just could be 'not specific uretritis'.

    After the medication my bladder gets lighter.

     

    Sixth: Infectologyst

    Send me exams.

    Urine 1, urocultura (culture of urine), espermocultura (culture of sperm)

    The exam was perfect, no fungus, no bacteria, nothing. He said if the exam was ok, so my problem was psicologically.

     

    I reafirm  that pain in uretrha is NOT PSICOLOGIC, i have itch and pain in my uretrha while im masturbating and ejaculating.

     

    I didnt know what to do know.

    I think im going for these diets now.

     

    Im prettry depressed, i dont want to have more sex now, since it itchs and hurts while im ejaculating.

     

    Sorry for my english, im brazilian.

    hi everyone- i was searching my symptoms online and found this thread to be the most accurate description of what i THINK(?!) is going on with My Body...

     

    I have had a rough past with many concerns about kidney disease in my youth- it does run in my family...

     

    I am 25, Male, I was addicted to Heroin/Homeless and wasn't able to take proper care of myself for a very long time- growing up from about age 11-20 i had what Dr.'s claimed was a terrrible eczema on my stomach- however eventually when My Grandfather Passed in 2006 My Psychiatrist Suggested i try an Ointment (who's name i cannot recall)- Since My grandfather had a fresh Prescription filled days before his passing- and considering the fact I was just BARELY clean finally and had a new job/home (BAD FINANCIAL SITUATION) He told me to use it- and it worked it cleared Up- later we figured out it was a cross between a Bacaterial Infection of the skin exasorbated by an ALLERGY to the Nickel in my belt Buckel- Now I wear a Velcrow Belt without metal & that rash has not come back...

     

    i DO shave and trim my pubic hair and I was used to dealing with Shaving Bumps for the past Year- again at age 25 I have yet to have a Prostate Exam- So yesterday i was at a full day of Physical Labor in EXTREME HEAT- at teh end of the night I hadn't had a chance to eat or drink enough and i've NEVER felt such serious burning while urinating in my life- even with all of problems they THOUGHT were caused by My Kidneys in My Youth- I was on Lithium for mnay years and they decided the problems i was having were sideeffects of that medicine and so My Kidney Research ended there at age 12...

     

    the tip of my penis hurts, ther is some kind of small cluster of very unnoticeable bumps near the tip of my penis- I am circumsied and the pumps appear around the bottom the the tip- the hole in the tip at times appears to be Irritated...I'm also experience some very hard to describe Digestive Traits- My Stoole has been very loose and it often burns when i poop as well...From what I've read this could even be a bacterial meningitis???....

     

    It could be Prostate Cancer?- it could be Glande's Secreting Fluids My Skin Needs?- I could be a Penile/Prostate yeast Infection???

     

    I'm really not sure what to do- I have been using Anti-Fungal/Anti Bacterial Soaps- also I use Anti-Fungal Talcum Powder- As  well as Gold Bond Body Powder???- when i have Razor Bumps from trimming or shaving I've been using neosporin to help heal them faster and without scars...

     

    I have discontinued the Apidexin now as the heat increases and i become less and less sure what is wrong with me???- could this be Syfilis? or Gonoreia???...Can someone please tell me what I should do???- I cannot afford to see many Dr.'s and would like to KNOW what's wrong with me- if My Ex from 2007 gave me some kind of disease is there anything I should do???- i know i've heard it is a CRIME to willingly give someone a disease without telling THEM You have it???...I'm very young and VERY distraught...

     

    I'm afraid to tell My Family or Friends but once I have some ideas I want to finally see a Dr.- i just want to have a list of things for him to check, and i think i need to do this soon just in case this IS really serious...

     

    I'd be happy to provide more information if anyone needs to know anything- i know this is a wide variety of possibilities but this Forum seems very- well "Informative"...

     

    I have not been sexually active since My Fiancee left Me in 2007...I took my life in my own hands and moved cross country to continue the next steps of my recovery...

     

    Recently I began trying to get Myself in shape- I started riding a bicycle again daily, i started a morning/night sit-up routine and so i knew i would stay with it i researched diet suppliments for creating muscle faster- it was working and the name of the suppliment was "Apidexin"- Well a Heat-Wave came & I know nothing about cooking or nutrition- but I also started letting some of my friends help me start eating better...

     

    so even before the apidexin I was riding my bike and I also am one of those "indie rockers" with the tight jeans...

     

    So about  a month ago I began to feel a pain that would come & go in what seems like MOMENTS throughout the day- I then felt Itchy and after a nice HOT day of excerize in the sun I found what looks like it could be anything froma  Heat Rash, to a Glande, to what  PRAY isn't an STD- and if it IS?- well i'm hoping it's treatable...

     

    I was screened 16 times in 2 years after getting clean for STD's/HIV and other diseases I could have contracted with MyDrug past...All RESULTS WERE CLEAN- Except once- I Relapsed IN the office and I randomly found some Heroin I didn't know I still had (THIS WAS MY FIRST STD TEST EVER)- i was scared and when i found it and realized I was in a locked room & that the Dr. was waiting for Me to call him in- so i took a Syringe and shot up in his office about 20 Minutes before my first screening- He told me later that i came up for Herepes 2- when i admitted I was veru high when he gave me the test he said we need to do it all again- I kept that up frightened that I had contracted such a thing & that resulted in 15 more tests in 2 years at various different clinics and offices- ALL WERE NEGATIVE...Since 2007 I have not been sexually active, I am still in love with My Ex and SCARED that I will never love again aleady + after EVERYTHING i've been through I REALLY don't think I can handle being diagnosed with something untreatable- but i will cross that bridge when i come to it- I suspect this is some kind of infection?- or at worst some CURABLE STD???

     

    any ideas please feel free to write Me back at m00nv01d@yahoo.com

     

    I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP HERE!!!

    Red Burning Penis Head with Rash and Anal Burning
    Relieved
    Friday, October 30, 2009 at 03:21 AM

    Finally! A little over a month ago, my penis started tingling a little bit. I didn't think much of it. Then, it started to get red and sore at the tip (around the hole). I started to get nervous. I tried everything - hydracortisone, bactroban cream, neosporen...anything I could get my hands on. Nothing helped. It got worse. I couldn't even walk because it rubbed against my underwear and it hurt like a demon. I did so much online research (as it seems all us guys do) and made it worse cause I was then convinced I had herpes. As time went on, I developed a weird rash all around the head of my penis and the pain just seemed to get worse. I finally went to the doctor. As so many figure out, the doctors don't really know what they're talking about when it comes right down to it. Make you feel like you're over reacting and making it worse...but come on, it's your dick, it hurts like hell and affects everything in your life. I got tested for everything and he gave me antibiotics thinking it may be bacterial or an STD. Tests proved negative for everything (herpes, chlaymdia, gon, diabetes, etc etc etc). He then said it was probably a yeast infection...I thought, no way. But, yes, guys do get it. He gave me another antibiotic (2 pills at once) and diflican (spelling bad...but for yeast) along with Nystatin & Triamcinolone Ointment. Took it, yet skeptical....nadda. Didn't help, in fact the ointment made me break out in a worse rash and my dick felt thick and hard (not the good kind mind you). I freak. Go back....get the whole "it's in your head" thing but will put you on Sporanox (another yeast pill and use lotion (cera vu)...but this one you take longer). Nadda. I am so upset as it keeps getting worse and don't feel like I am being taken seriously. I try more creams like Lotrimin...start taking probiotics...garlic pills...the list goes on. The kicker was when my anus started burning too...so penis burning, ass burning and I figured last try....I went to grocery store and bought the generic Monistat that women use... that was 8 hours ago..... oh my God...after everything I have been through (as so many guys online with these problems have).... I already feel 75% better....in 8 freakin hours!!!! Rubbed it on the johnson, on and in my ass....and I am in shock that it's already working. WHY DIDN'T I TRY THIS A MONTH AGO! So, guys....PLEASE - bite the bullet and buy the vaginal yeast stuff for women and try that first!! I didn't think it was possible to get a yeast infection, nor that it would be this painful and bizzare....but the worst part was sitting around thinking I had some horrific STD. I can't believe the doctor didn't recommend at least trying this.... go now and buy it...try it! Good luck...I just thought I would share as I know how many hours I spent trying to find a solution and torchuring myself.

    So I did do the scope.  Physician found that there were "balloons"? of white globules in my urethra which were not normal.  If there are physicians/assistants who can help me understand what this is -- I would appreciate it.  In addition, he discovered that there was one particular area that was very inflamed (red).

    He put me on levaquin 750mg X 14  -- 1 per day.  In 2 weeks I am to call and tell him if situation has improved.  I am hopeful that it will improve -- but so far ( 1 week) it has not.  He said the next step (if the levaquin doesn't work) will be to do a course of medicine that is not typically found in pharmacies (he didn't mention the name).  If that medication doesn't work -- it will be an ultrasound.

     

    I am very curious and hopeful at this point.  He doesn't seem concerned.  I didn't ask about a PSA test this time.....from what I have read ( and if I understand it correctly) there have been procedures that have been performed unnecessarily because of PSA results.  Seems logical...but in this day and age I guess to me I would like to know more information than less.

     

    I also have strange, intermittant pain in my lower abdomen, and seem to be constipated lately.  Watchful and hopeful at this point.  I stopped riding bikes -- it is too painful at this point...but I continue to exercise and hike.

     

    More to come....

    apply a light layer of vaseline.

    helps keep it cool and no frition and cures the cut or injuries there

     

    drinkslots of cranberry juice. if u can eat the fruit iself. better still!

     

    not all the time. more when ur injured.

    u will be amazed at is effects. just watch out the sugar content.

    i not tried cranberry pills...can try also.

     

    and give it a rest for a month or more. light masturbation.

    its like curing an injury.

    not done in a week

    Hi IRGenius - Did your primary care doc or the urologist mention taking a course of Oral Prednisone?  I am experiencing a somewhat similar problem, I have discomfort like an urgency to urinate that when I move, sit or even walk now that seems to start at the middle of my penis shaft and radiates up into the head of the penis.  It is uncomfortable to urinate and when I am done the sensation in the shaft and head of my penis is worse for a while, but it never goes away completely, just like little impulses all the time.  My doctor did the digital rectal exam and he said my prostate is enlarged for sure, and I am only 34 yrs old.  Anyway, they ruled out STD's or a urinary infection with urine test and swab cultures.  I did have some white blood cells in my urine though.  I took a course of Doxycycline antibiotics and the doc put me on Indomethacin for 2 weeks.  Funny thing is it started feeling a lot better, then I woke up one morning last week and it was raging again and hasn't stopped since.  I finally called doc back and he prescribed Prednisone dose-pack, which I started this morning, and depending on whether that works he might refer me to a urologist.  This is starting worry me, it's like there is no way to escape discomfort in your privates unlike other parts of your body, and I don't want to live this way indefinitely.  Let me know how your problem is going, you posted your reply about having the scope 2 days ago, it is now 10/4/07.  E-mail is ehulliberger@porterhills.org

    Friday, November 02, 2007 at 10:40 PM
    For nearly 2 months, I have had redness around urethra opening, swollen penis head (glans corona), and intermittent pain in the glans (dull pain, as though from inside). Ocasionally, a general pelvic discomfort that appears mostly after physical activity and seems to be coming from the prostate. Also lately - pain in leg muscles (thighs and calves) and numbness and tingling in one or both legs. All tests negative - urine,swabs, ultrasound of the area. No antibiotics worked. Seems like a chronic prostatitis, non-bacterial....how to deal with this? Diet? Just wait? Anti-inflammatories? More tests?

    honestly could be anything.

     

    herpes..i not sure. not around the urethra sir. but possible if that other man says so coz i have herpes but never in the urethra.

    try drinking cranberry juice lots of it. or like some say cranberry extracts.

    or give your main 'man; ( your dick) a rest.

    dont do antying ..as in anything..like 2-3 months.

    like masturbation with vaseline...veryl light..avoid head contact.

    take doxyclicline for 2 weeks. or other laternatives.

    just to make sure any infection is gone.

    hope this helps.:)

    This could be coincidence, but about 10 days after a lap dance with a heavy and hard amount of grinding, I also am having problems of this nature.

    I am rather young for these sorts of things (29). It started (a month ago) as pain after urination at the tip of the urethra, a constant urge to "go", some minor dull groin pain, some not-so-minor pain in my penis, and some residual pain in the backs of my legs.

    I've had no rashes, sores or discharge.

    Doc tested for every std under the sun (all negative). I went on a lot of Doxycycline (two 10-day runs of 200mg per day). This drug is has ****** with me. It's a powerful "wide spectrum" antibiotic and is what they use to treat Anthrax!!! Makes me tired, dries the hell out of my mouth and lips... can't wait till i'm done.

    Anyway, he suspected some sort of non-std related urethritis and/or prostatitis. Things really started to improve with massive doeses of cranberry juice extract in pill form. (4 pills, 3 times a day). This is clinically proven to keep bacteria from growing in your internal pipes.

     

    Hope this helps, let me know if you all have any tips.

    Its pretty annoying because since late september I have been either on Cipre then to levacuen for a few weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I have no pain except the urgencey to always pee. I can't take it anymore . My psa was .4 so there is nothing going on there. Just wondering does it take this long for everybody to get well ? I am in good shape and 32. Just wondering.

    chris,

     

    my Doc's comments about this were with prostatitis... he said that it can be stubborn and take along time for infection to clear due to the highly acidic nature of the prostate glad.  I"m sure that it's similar for the urethra due to the high acidity of urine.  

     

    try the cranberry extract in pill form, and take the maximum dose.  Cranberry juice did NOTHING for me.  I've also been eating a lot of "Crasins".... seems to have helped.

     

    Best of luck.

     

    Btw, I'm 29 and am in great shape.  I run 8-10 miles a week and lift weights.  This whole ordeal has been a bit of a dark cloud on my life for the past month.  It's depressing, for sure.  Hang in there.

    I have the same problem as you. I received a blow job (oral sex) this weekend and the pain has been lingering for the past 4 days! I had this pain once and it took almost three months to go away! Last time it happened I went to my urologist and they did every kind of test there is and found nothing. Just told me to use clean underwear and change my soap. Also to clean out my bladder everytime I pee. Im drinking lots of water and cranberrie juce and cranberry pills. Hope this helps! I think i've got to stop eating spicy foods as well. It gets worst after masturbation although when im doing it, it feels great! Good luck to everyone on this I also thought i was the only one with this problem!

    xander,

     

    after about 2 months of problems, things are back to about 90-95% normal.

     

    I had 20 days of doxycycline (100mg 2x per day)

     

    I also took 3 cranberry extract pills per day for about 3 weeks.

     

    Also, 1000mg of Vitiman C (as calcium absorbate) 3x per day, 50mg of zinc 1x per day, and echinacha pill 3x per day.

     

    The combonation of these things along with giving alcohol a big rest (i drank 2-4 drinks per day) and spicy food a rest... has really helped.

     

    I looked into Dr. Andrew Weil's advice for prostate problems in addtion to the input from my doctor.  My doc gave my the doxycycline, Weil's suggestion was the vitimans.  It  has helped.

  9. frequent urination

    Monday, January 07, 2008 at 10:23 AM
    I have suffered for a long time with an enlarged prostate and the aggrivation of frequent urination and a numbing feeling in my penis when the problem gets worse. After reading all of the coments one thing that was missing was how food can effect your prostate. Guys, there are a lot of foods that will cause the prostate to become more enlarged. For me, all dairy products, nuts, especially cashews, and spicy foods create problems for me. I nornally have to get up about 4-5 times a night to urinate. This does not make for a restfull night of sleeping so I am tired most of the time. When I stay off these foods my condition always improves and my bathroom runs drop to 1-2 a night. The problem I have is the disipline to stay off these foods that I love. I am 56 and the problem is only getting worse. I just polished off a giant can of cashews and a large bag of chocolate peanuts over the last two days while recovering from an illness. Well I am paying the price today. As the saying goes "we are what we eat", especially as you get older. As we get older we are supposed to get wiser, so why then do we keep going back to things that we know will hurt us. Medicine will help correct the immediate problem but if we do not live a healthy lifestyle we are doomed to repeat the cycle over and over again. I am typing out a New Years Resolution as a prayer that I will read every morning to draw strength to overcome my addictions and become healthier. Good luck to all and have a blessed day. Alan

    I went to my Urology doctor, he did just about everything, found nothing to treat.  After reading many posting I thought... hey, if it is not internal, maybe it is external, some sort of skin irritation, need to see my dermatologist but meanwhile... I sprayed a little Tinactin (yes its for Athlete's foot) on my fingers, then spread it over the head... a little ouch.  Couldn't tell for sure if there was a big difference, maybe it was still on my mind.  But the next day I sprayed a little directly on the head.  Just after this and from then on... no more symptoms and now after 2 weeks I have posted after using.  Is this only a temp fix or did something else fix it?

    Friday, January 11, 2008 at 01:03 PM

    I posted Monday about how I was having trouble with frequent urination. Well by 6:00 that evening I could not urinate at all. I thought it would improve as the night wore on but I went the whole night without urinating. Needless to say I was in extreme pain and did not sleep the whole night. My wife kept asking me if I wanted to go to the emergency room but I was stubborn and thought it would open up and allow me to go. We went to the emergency room at 9:00 the next morning and I was in more pain then I have ever experienced in my life.

    They put a catherer in me and drained 1800 cc's of urine. The doctor told me that this was 4 times the amount that the bladder would normally hold and that I had stretched my bladder to a point of possible permanent damage. He told me we would have to keep the catherer in for about 10 days to allow the bladder to heal. As I mentioned in my earlier post I have been suffering from enlarged prostate and frequent urination problems for a long time and it was only getting worse. I have decided to have the Green Light Laser treatment which all research shows to be the safest and less intrusive way to go. To all of you guys who continue to have problems I believe this will be the solution for most people that do not respond to medication any longer or not at all. The main problem as I see it is that the prostate continues to enlarge and eventually the medications and treatment are not capable of reducing the size of the prostate enough to produce the relief needed. Trust me, you do not want to go through the agony associated with total blockage. If it does happen go to whomever can put a catherer in right away. I will post again when I have some additional information.

    It's kind of interesting I feel like all the people with this problem are older.  I'm 16 years old and am having the same symptoms as some of you, with the red tip of my penis and stinging and irritation.  I've read most of the responces and find it interesting that 2 have gotten lap dances with grinding, the forum starter is a bike rider (assuming there rubbing) and I play soccer and usually wear boxers where there is rubbing against the tip of the penis.  I hoping and kind of glad it seems to be that because i have recently had unprotected sex and have gotten oral and was scared i got something else!  My parents dont know im sexually active so i haven't gone to a doctor or anything.  I've been researching on other websites aswell, and ive started wearing briefs to stop the rubbing.  Redness and other symptoms have reduced greatly but not completely.  I've also read some one using monistat (female yeast infection cream) with a few drops of white vinegar and it cleared up over night.  I on the other hand dont feel like paying 20 dollars for some cream and im going to do a test and skip the cream and go straight to the white vinegar.  They suggested not doing this, for those of you who are wondering, why, what, white vinegar?? It's an old indian  tale that white vinegar cure infections and things of that nature.  On a more simple terms it burns through your skin, but in the process im hopin it will get rid of whatever this is.  Ive already applied some with a cue tip earlier symptoms seem to have gotten better.  I will again before i go to bed and see what happens in the morning.  If anyone has any objections or ideas let me know!!

    Hey buddy. I was just like you when I was that age. I had similar symptoms and was scared and worried that someone would find out and that it might be stds or something. Trust me. Stop worrying. Tell your parents you stomach hurts or something and then go see the doctor and tell him everything.

    It is very, very highly unlikely you got an std from 1 oral session but get it checked just to make yourself feel better. The doctor is your friend dude. Dont be afraid of it. And, believe it or not, you could even tell your parents (probably dad) that your dick hurts at the tip (but that you havent had sex) and he'll probably take you to the doctor.

    Dont go dipping your dick in all kinds of stuff on your own. Vinegar?!! Are you kidding me. You are only gonna make it worst. Go to the doctor, get him to send you to a urologist. This is NOTHING to be ashamed or worried about. Its a guy thing, and that is all. Just like chicks get yeast infections, its just one of those things.

     

    Ok bud. Relax, see the doctor and get checked out.

    Look, you don't have to tell your parents what the problem is or that you have had sex, but you do need to go have a diagnosis especially if you had unprotected sex.  Chances are that it isn't friction burns.  Vinegar may help -after- monistat for yeast infections because it changes the environment where yeast likes to grow, but it won't cure yeast overgrowth.  But better you make sure you don't have something that needs strong medicine.  That way you won't pass it on to your partners if it is contagious.

    I have had most of the same symptoms posted on this site (redness, inflammation, and dull pain in tip of penis) for 10 months now and I am only 23.  The sensation started immediatley after receiving terrible oral sex from a girl.  She sucked so hard that there was a bruise on the head of my penis.  I have tried every cream there is (including Monistat  with white vinegar), antibiotics, gone to multiple different docotors and to no avail.  The most frustrating thing is that the doctors try to convince me that there is nothing wrong with me, but there clearly is.  I just don't  understand how there can be as many of us out there with this same problem and yet nobody has an answer for us.  If someone comes up with a cure please post it.  I am going to try the cranberry diagnosis and I will let you guys know if it works.  Please help.........

Tests for std all negative.(urine test, culture test and dna test) But I have got treatment from gonorrhea (cefixin for 7 days), to treat Chlamydia I got doxycycline for7 days, and flogil to treat Trichomonas for 7 days, but nothing help Then I got apo-fluconezole to treat yeast infections I become to feel better but in 2 days symptoms came back. My doctor and urologist sad if tests for std are OK then I am OK to. But I have a feeling it is something very wrong with me

    HIV and Syphilis tests are negative to.

    Now I am under metronidazole 2gramm single doze per 1 day for 5 days

    Today is 4th day and still nothing

    Maybe I have got HIV and plus whole bunch of other STDs?

    That is why I can't to treat it ?

    Or maybe this is not properly treated before gonorrhea and now it is very resistance to antibiotics disease? What I have got?

    Please anybody help me.

    Been there...  similar story,  was a problem for over a year...  3 urologists and 2 dermatologists later I found the answer...  it was me. 

     

    Basically the initial problem was caused by irritation due to friction during oral sex,  but then the anxiety of what was wrong keeps it going.   It took me 6 months of treatment with desonate cream (low strength steroid) and taking Clomipramine (anti anxiety) to keep me from dwelling on it for it to go away. 

     

    After that I was fine,  for about the past 6 months but last week it started up again after sex...  so im back on the meds, hope it doesnt take months this time.

     

    But the bottom line is anxiety can do alot,  the burning is uncomfortable and your mind fixates on it and doctors inability to find anything wrong adds to the frustration and worry as to what could be wrong.   Think of it like sunburn or a cut... as long as your focused on it... it doesnt heal.

    Well all these stories and no one has an answer?

    I agree we probably slept with a stranger one night and made something from nothing

    now I was with a girl from B.C. like 5 months ago and tests are indicating borderline for sylphis. there was an out break for this treatable disease in BC however it is sorry to note it raises my chances two fifths of contacting a more serious untreatable disease like hiv or aids. I am a contractor and I build houses sometimes I hold my urine for hours at a time because it takes so long to get set up on the roof and once you just get started; you are all tied off with the lifeline and everything you feel an urgency to have to pee. instead of getting down and taking the time it takes I hold it in. I have complete control of my bladder and bowel movements. I do have the symptoms we are discussing in this forum, redness in the tip, mild uretha tingling in the middle of the shaft intermittently. I also have nerve damage of the siatica nerve! Orginally from an accident  18 years ago It has reoccurred four times. the nerve runs through the base of the sac branches off  and runs down the legs to the feet. It can radiate symptom like burning in the testicles and penis. It is also directly related to proper function of the liver and kidneys. Acupuncture can help with proper functioning of internal organs if done correctly.

    Can "POT" pose any health problems with the urinary tract? I smoke pot on a regular basis. I agree alcohol consumption increases the burning sensation last night an example; first time in months as the drinks added up so did the pain in the tip. I was never diagonsed with any infections which i find hard to believe because bacteria can build up quickly under loads of stress. my major concern has anyone picked up hiv or aids? i only had unprotected sex with three different girls and i am 27.

    Hello, I have had almost the same problem, redness and swelling with dull pain, I also had minor discharge for a few days. I was tested and the doctors could find nothing wrong. 

     

    I am now feeling better and I think I found what was wrong for me at least. After recieving horrid oral sex it started, I think that the bad oral irritated it to begin with. I found that my washing machine wasn't fully rinsing my clothes and I think that laundry soap residue was causing most of my problems especially after the oral irritated that oh so sensitive part. I started using a friends washing machine and taking extra care to thoroughly clean myself while showering. I also stopped masturbation during this time to keep from causing more irritation. Within a week the problem started to clear up. That was about 3 weeks ago and I am now feeling better.

     

    I hope this helped.

    I pretty much have the same symptoms described on this page,and reading your experiences is somewhat comforting. I haven't seeked Medical help yet but through reading different websites,it seems like it is an infection,either yeast or in my case maybe jock itch variant ,since I play lot's of Hockey and I take between 2-4 showers in arenas or gyms(may be a cause?) Soaps may also play a role with the mix of taking showers with hot water.I heard that taking a cup of hot water mixed in with a spoon full of fresh lemon juice and a spoon full of extra virgin olive oil, every morning for 10 mornings in a row 15 min before eating,will cleans the system down below. I will give that a shot!!!

    I am a 37yr old man with the same symptoms for 2yrs now... some similar to everyone elses, but a little different in a way.  I have a burning sensation in my penis when I have to pee or when I feel the need to have a bowel movement...the pain usually subsides after I have gone to the bathroom.  Some days I have no pain, and other days I have pain in my penis while walking.  I've been tested for every STD(all negative) under the sun, taken every antibiotic know to man, told I was "just imagining it" from a urologist...but yet my pain is real and very disruptive in my life.  I've learned to live with it thinking there is no answer...but I hope there is.  Does anyone think it could be something related to the digestive tract and your body "feeling" the pain in your penis?  I'm almost out of hope trying to figure this thing out.

    I'm in the same boat as you guys.  Tenderness, discomfort in around the last inch and a half of penis.  Testicles a little sore.  Slightly enlarged prostate.  Lower abdomen discomfort.  Feeling of constipation.   Seems to sap me of my energy as well.  Also, affects libido badly.

     

    Have had these symptoms since mid October 07.  Thus far have taken 3 different antibiotics with no relief (currently taking Levaqun 500mg 1 X daily for 30 days).  I'm already at day 22 and no relief. Had a cystoscopy last week (man, was that ever painful).

     

    My blood, urine tests have come back pretty clean lately.  The first one I had showed some elevated white blood cells.

     

    I suggested to my doc (Urologist) that since I had tried 3 different antibiotics, that maybe it was fungal rather than bacterial.  He said that seemed unlikely, but I just am really wanting relief of symptoms because it gets depressing living with this crap.  Even if it doesn't work, I want to try an antifungal like Diflucan or something.  Couldn't hurt and it's another thing that I can rule out.

     

    He is sending me to an infectious disease guy next.  We shall see.  In the meantime, think I'll try the vitamin regimen that the one poster mentioned had worked for him.

     

    Like others, I find it very hard to give up spicy foods, and I do like a quality beer most every day too.  Those are hard to give up.

     

    Oh, and started Flomax yesterday.  I was a little leery, having read all the possible side effects.  Experienced none of them, thankfully.

     

    Good luck to you all, and if you find an answer, please come back and post it.

The symptoms looks like with gonorrhea, Trichomonas or Chlamydia But no discharges. Tests for std all negative.(urine test, culture test and dna test) But I have got treatment from gonorrhea (cefixin for 7 days), to treat Chlamydia I got doxycycline for7 days, and flogil to treat Trichomonas for 7 days, but nothing help Then I got apo-fluconezole to treat yeast infections I become to feel better but in 2 days symptoms came back. My doctor and urologist sad if tests for std are OK then I am OK to. But I have a feeling it is something very wrong with me

    HIV and Syphilis tests are negative to.

    Now I am under metronidazole 2gramm single doze per 1 day for 5 days

    Today is 4th day and still nothing

    Maybe I have got HIV and plus whole bunch of other STDs?

    That is why I can't to treat it ?

    Or maybe this is not properly treated before gonorrhea and now it is very resistance to antibiotics disease? What I have got?

    Please anybody help me.

    What it could be?

    Now I am under CIPROFLOXACIN it is 8-th day .Redness and swallowing went down a little bit,

    But pain and burning in urethra is still there.

    Need halp.

    I've been suffering from similar symptoms for a year now and have exausted all efforts other than antibiotics. I have researched possible connection with leaky gut, etc. and have had extensive testing. I have gone for one week therapy at the National Center for Pelic Pain Research, seen phyiscal therapists trained in CPPS, changed my diet, tried herbs and homeopathic remedies, accupunture, etc. Now I am investigating genitourinary mycoplasmas as a potential cause. And, i am constulting with renown Dr. Paul Fugazzatto and his theories. I am interested in talking to anyone with the same symptoms to compare notes to see what works and what doesn't. I do have lower abdomial pain as well (tender and refers pain to tip of penis when pressed). The tip of my penis feels raw like the nerves are exposed and is constant pain except when I sleep and briefly when I awake. I alsoo have mild to moderate pain during urination nearly 100% of the time. I don't think I have IC (Interstitial Cystitis) because I don't have frequent urination or flare ups from foods or other things (both common amongts IC sufferers). Any input, research, etc, is welcomed.

    I have had the same problems for over a year now and belive there is a connection with the bowels. Many men who have this problem also have intesinal problems. If you have intestinal bacterial overgrowth and/or associated "leaky gut" these toxins can leak through your intestinal wall and irritate afferent nerves in the enteric nervous system and pelvic region causing referred pain. I've researched my condition extensively, let's compare notes. You may contact me anytime.

    Hey Kevin...I think you are onto something that many of us have overlooked.  The pain "really" isn't in the penis, but the connective nerves associated with your bowels and the muscles in your groin.  I was diagnosed with colitis (swelling of the lower bowel that causes diarrhea and pain in the abdoman from ulcers in the lower bowel) twenty years ago.  I have dealt with that and have lived a normal life up and until almost 3yrs ago.

     

    The disruption of my normal life was horrendous because the pain was overwhelming and not a soul could understand what I was experiencing.  It actually made me depressed.  But I have found something that has worked for me.  It may not work for you but it has been a blessing for me.

     

    I have acutally learned how to live with this aweful torment that the doctors term as "in your head".  I have been taking tadalifil (cialis) one pill every two or three days.  I started taking it because my sex life was in the dumpster because of my pain...the last thing I wanted to do was have sex at that time.

     

    I may have a bad day or two in a month but overall I have forgotten about the pain and it doesn't rule my life.  I'm not advocating any drug but...my dick doesn't hurt anymore.  Enough said?

    That's interesting because every time I take Cialis, I feel much better. I can have sex, etc. and the pain subsides (except after ejaculation). But when the Cialis wears off I'm back to being in pain. My pain is specifically near the bladder neck where the mucles are that open or close for the urine and on the tio of my penis as well. I may look into the new Cialis that you can take every day and see if that makes a difference. In the meantime, I'll be working to get rid of my SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) because I believe there is a gut/bowel connection to CPPS as I mentioned in my prior post.

    Kevin,

    I am suffering from something similar. I am 31 and circumcised. I am at about month 3. I put out a post with my story....maybe to long and bored everyone but i am really at a loss here. I have gone on some ups and downs with this and it has gotten me all different levels of depressed. I have never had any medical problems and this has really got me. I thought stds but all screens come back negative, going to get a whole screen done again in a Nov to reaffirm that is not the problem. No discharge whatsoever, some oddities at times with peeing(that being that i seem to dribble a bit more, maybe i am just more sensitive to everything) Skin on glans has seemed different...like skin is irritated kind of like patches/areas of inflammation...has gone down and is less than before, what concerned me is that the irritation that started just on the glans and the irritation/sensitivity which was external...looked like it moved into my urethra. About that time i had a swab test for gonoria/clamidia(i think that is the right one"bore punch") and afterward i think that is when i started to feel some weird sensitivity at the urethra opening and then it just got worse and the pain at times was unberable. At one point i thought my urethra tube was being invaded and worried whatever was going to get to my testicles. That extreme has gone away but i am still having the redness(around the urethra opening, extending from opening on top of glans), some redness of skin on glans, very sensitive glans, pain to touch and pinch lightly. Pain seems to be isolated to glans, even urethra tube for span of glans. I did notice a white dot visible just inside urethra opening. Noticed about 3 weeks ago. I used to be very active and work out all the time but this has almost immobilized me. I find the best time is if i haven't moved for awhile and right after waking up...seems to get worse as day goes on...more chance of irritation and rubbing? Help. I have been taking Cranberry pills, Centrum, Vitamin e, Selenium, Zinc, Saw palmetto, naproxen. Also, been putting Thera Neem Leaf and Oil on several times a day. I am at about 2.5 weeks and thought i was getting better but now i think i am at a plateau. I just want to feel normal again! What i wouldn't give to have back the times when i could go through a day without paying any attention to downstairs!

    Josh, your pain seems very similar to mine. I've had my pain for 14 months now and it's driving me nuts. I have had irritation on the tip of my penis near the opening and the tip (especially the edge of the head) feels very raw lke the nerves are exposed. It's also painful to squeeze the top 1 inch of my shaft as well. Plus I have modertate buring on urination. I have ruled out mycoplasmas (as you should too) and all my urine and semen cultures are clean so no infection seems to be present. I have tried neuromuscular therapy using the principles of Dr. Wise at the National Pelvic Pain Center but have gotten no relief. Since, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) came on aobu the same time as all these symtoms after taking 2 months of CIPRO, I am exploring a connection to irritated afferent nerves in proximity to my intestines (since I have been diagnosed with moderate intestinal permeability). There is a doctor, Dr. Michael A. Pezzone who has done studies on CPPS being caused by "cross-talk" between nerves in the enteric nervous system and the bladder. Pain in the bladder will refer pain to the tip of the penis and so will pain in the Psoaz muscle in your lower abdomen. My theory is that the toxins leaking from my "intestinal permeability" is irritating either my Psoaz muscle or bladder which is referring pain to my penis. So, if I focus on repairng my gut I'm hoping this will help my pelvic pain. If that doesn't work, I'm pretty much resolved to the fact that maybe toxins embedded in my bladder lining after taking CIPRO for such a long time and that my bladder lining is damaged. In this case I would have no other option but to try taking Elmiron and perhaps Elavil for the pain (this is a common treatment for Interstitial Cystitis sufferers). And, one last thing I may try is an antifungal since I have had some candida problems in the past (all tests now are negative), namely oral thrush from the Cipro (which has caused burning toungue similar to the pain I feel when I urinate).

     

    Hope this help

    After reading this forum I am coming to the realization that I maybe having prostate related issues.  I have been suffering various symptoms for a few years now.  I will be going to the doctor next week to discuss my latest symptoms.  I am only 38.  So I never thought to consider that this may be a prostate problem.

     

    My symptoms started very subtly and intermittently so I never gave them much thought.  You learn to adjust and move on.   For example, beginning about 4 years ago I  found that it was hard to completely stop urinating while standing.  I’d have to stand there and wait for all of the urine to dribble out.  I adjusted by sitting and urinating.  That seemed to help control it.  So I adjusted and moved on.

     

    Within the same 4 years I can count maybe 10-12 times where I would awake with an incredible cramp like pain up in my groin/anal area.  I thought it was some kind of anal cramp or something.  Walking and waiting (5-15 minutes) seemed to do the trick.  So I adjusted and moved on

     

    Then the scary stuff started to appear.  I had what at first appeared to be an STD.  Itchy tip.  Pain in the urethra.  Even eventual discharge.  Had a full STD test.  All negative.  Symptoms when away on there own.  That was a really tense and scary experience.  I am 38, happily married with 3 kids.  If it were an STD it did not come from me so it put some real tension between my wife and I at the time.  So I dealt with it and moved on.

     

    6 months ago I woke up to some testicle pain.  Ignored it.  It (only one testicle) swelled up and became very painful.  More STD test.  All negative.  Dr. ruled it as epididymitis and put me on antibiotics.  Cleared up on the 2nd to last dose.  So I dealt with it and moved on.

     

    Now to the present.  Started having a dull pain and sensitive penis head and dull pain lower in my urethra.  Slight burning when I first start urinating but that always gave way to a good stream with no pain.  Once I am done urinating i have that slight dull pain at the tip and urethra again.  Seems to fade in an out but increased more when I have to urinate or have a bowel movement. I also have a strange urge to “flex” my groin muscles as if I am trying to squeeze out just the last bit of urine.  This happens throughout the day.

     

    So now I am really paying attention and can definitely say that these symptoms increase with sitting.  Especially prolonged sitting.  I get immediate relief from standing and walking.  Lying down also helps.  I wake in the morning feeling like the symptoms are completely gone! But as soon as I stand there are some subtle signs and sitting brings it all back.

     

    So next week I am off to the doctor.  I will make sure that I mention all of this history. Some of which I never thought to mention in the past (sitting to urinate, cramping pain).  I will keep the forum posted on my eventual treatment plan and progress.  Knowing that I am in the company of other men with the same symptoms I fell strangely optimistic.

    Your anal cramping sounds like Protaglia Fujax. It is harmless but painful and there is no known cause. A warm bath often helps as well as anal massage. Symptoms last anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour. Often, the throbbing pains come on at night.

    The good news is in most cases, such pain only happens once every few months.

    Hope this helps

    Reading through  the torrent of mails on this subject, one cannot

    but observe some of the medics are doing their thing -Practising!

     

    Judging from the huge number of  public taking  anti-acid/proton

    inhibitors no wonder our systems are running acid. And whilst the

    peeing equipment is by nature is designed to stand acid conditions,

    just possibly  many of us are  far too high in that department.

     

    Incidentally before I go off proton inhibitors -there is a warning from recent research that  taking these drugs can open us up to  serious

    bacteria infections - especially  when surgery is to be performed.

     

    But back to our red noses - Some  correspondents have  drawn attention

    to the anti-bacterial properties of cranberry juice. The reports look promising -  Hence still on that bacteria  theme, try Aloe Vera Gel.

     

    Test it first on the inside of your upper arm, if OK, repeat on your

    red member. AV has been used for some 2000 years  and  besides

    the rejuvenating qualities, it is smoothing.  99.9% used on our

    colleagues. 

     

    I'm not a medic, don't sell the stuff but recently a seriously ill

    colleague took my advice to treat her slingles with AV gel. Amazing

    results. Sadly she was in bad trouble because, with shingles, again a nerve end problem. Speed of treatment is essential.

    The diagnosis was wrong at first, it was thought to be an eye infection.

    Source  of original idea -Canadian research.

     

    Finally test it at your own risk, it works for this guy.

    Only use externally just like any skin cream.  

     

    Good luck guys - watch the soap too, some formulations can cause trouble.

    I had a cycstoscopy done, they numbed up the path leaving a stiff Qtip with goo on it in the little guy for a few minutes (weird but not painful), the scope was bigger than I expected but didn't hurt until he got to my prostrate.  Worse pain I ever felt...until hours later when the numbing meds wore off.  I pee'd battery acid one drop at a hellish time for days.  Very bad idea.  Wish I never had it done.  No pain meds worked on this.

     

    I'm no doctor but maybe its just that all that bike riding is causing your little general to rub or get abused in some way.  Maybe your doc can suggest a little Neosporin or something topical on the tip.  Maybe don't ride until this passes.  Sensitive to a laundry detergent?  Sexual partner?  I've had this a few times and it always went away on it's own.  Wish you luck.

    Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 07:08 AM

    Hello All

     

    I have much the same symptoms ( irritation at tip and sometimes deeper) , however when I look inside the tip of my penis I notice a white cloudy looking infected area, all of my STD tests have came back negative, (3 cotton buds & 4 urine tests), I noticed this around 18months ago, have tried Canesten and has 7 days 100mg doxy and 10 days 200mg doxy, but its still there.

     

    As Im sure is the same with all of you, the anxiety this is causing me is horrific, I have decided to bite the bullet and get the urethral camera inspection at my own cost ($2500), should note that the wife has no symptoms whatsoever !

     

    I have read about ureaplasma and the fact that this is not tested for in standard STD tests and was wondering if it could be this ? urologist said that the doxy would have got rid of this ?

     

    Hope you guys can help

    I just started with this same problem and was trying to find some data on it myself.

     

    My case is similar but different and after reading a number of responses many are similar but some are slightly different too. A little over a year ago I had a kidney and pancreas transplant and so far so good. One odd thing is that they drain the new pancreas into the bladder which causes a lot of irritation. The enzymes it produces has caused a small ulcer and my urine is a guess the right word to use...caustic. I take sodium bi-carb to tame the acidity and I still am on a small dose of prednisone too.

     

    I had a bout with rejection so they pulsed me with a large dose of steroids and put me on a higher dose of prednisone for awhile. I noticed right away a pain on urination in the area of the prostrate. I kept telling my Dr, but he didn't seem too concerned. To me it was a concern since it hurt like the dickens. It felt like someone was tying my urethra in a knot and I couldn't sit down for quite awhile after peeing.

     

    As the prednisone was tapered down the pain started to subside which was good. But I noticed a slight increase in urination at the same time. A couple weeks ago for a separate problem he took me off oral phosphorus to solve another problem and told me to make it up with cheese and dairy. About that time I started in with this problem with a red tip and more burning on urtination and now more recently some incontinance and leakage. Just as descrived by other's my penis seems full of urine all the time and any movement is worrysome. I am urinating nearly hourly to avoid any problems. The tip is red and at times it's painful even when it touches my underwear.

     

    I saw a urologist last week who also didn't seem to concerned, but as of today it's getting worse. I did have a vlood test and no infection was found, all my labs seem normal.

     

    I am thinking now about one post telling of dairy increasing his problems. And another telling of getting prednisone to alleviate this problem. I am guessing I may be seeing a rebound from getting off of the steroids. I will try some cranberry and I have some anitfungal I can try externally too.

     

    I was supposed to get a cysto while at the urologist last week but as I said he didn't seem to concerned. So armed with this I will talk to my Dr again and see about getting back to the urologist for the cysto. I have had one and can concur they hurt like the heck although they told me it didn't. Even afterwards while cringing in pain, they told me it didn't hurt, yeah right... Remember my urine is nasty to begin with. There is something for it though that helped a bit. It turns your urine a dark amber. It has an iodine composition and the name was something to the effect of ???pyridene??? It got rid of the most severe pain.

     

    Armed with this I wil go back to mt Dr and see what he can do. I'll keep you posted.

    I found the name of the medicine for the post cysto pain. It's called Pyridium. Just make sure you wear dark colored underwear, it turns your urine a dark color and it stains. It works by coating the lining of the urethra helping relieve the pain. Hope this helps.

    all of this is very interesting because I have been going though a lot of the same symtems but they have been in the rectal and colon area. for the first 3 years the only thung that bothered me was my very low back and some minor rectal pain the Doctors said it was my back but it just did not feel like it and they could not fine any problem with back about 3 years ago the pain got a lot worse and on mega doses of pain meds and rectal pain got worse. a year ago my back pain seemed to get alot better but now it was it the rectal, colon, and  prostate area. thought at first it was a prostititise and was given cipro and leva. for about 10 months. the symtems from the prostate left but had sever rectal and colon area pain. along the same time as thr prostate pain came I started to lose feeling in my lower legs leadind to bad nereuopothy. the pain in the legs is much worse when the colon rectal area pain is bad it seems to me but the doctors will not consider that this is all related because the nerve for the lower legs run along the colon. my be I am wrong the Drs think I am nuts but they can not come up with anything and jewst keep treating the symtems  Thanks and hope all best for all  Ken

    probably just that... irritation.  Maybe some bacteria or yeast, but unlikely.

     

    give yourself, and your penis, a break.  Take it easy on the masterbating.  If you do, wrap your junk in a warm washcloth afterwords.  

     

    take into account that a lapdance with heavy grinding can be the equivalnt of many more pounds of pressue on your penis than it can handle... and for a somewhat extended period of time.  

     

    good luck.

    So I have been on the cranberry extract and juice for awhile now and did find some relief with it, but certaintly no cure. I definitely have notice a direct correlation with drinking alcohol. Like I said on my earlier post I am only 23, needless to say I still go out and get pretty drunk with my friends. On the nights I get totally hammered the following day is miserable as far as the penile pain, and the tip seems to be the most red and inflammed those days. Does anyone have any idea what the correlation could be?

    Coffee, tea, alcolhol, spicy foods.

     

    These are all things that will irritate the hell out of your prostate.

     

    Give them all a rest.  Add some zinc (in pill form) twice a day and some vitiman C (2000-3000mg per day) to your cranberry.  

     

    And lay off all the irritants.  You have to give your body sometime to heal.

    three months ago i had homosexual sex. unprotected oral, but he used a condom for anal. within a week i had all the typical prostatitis symptoms. of course i went to the doctor for std tests which all came back neg. no test for herpes or hpv was done as the doctor said they would be inconclusive anyway. after about three weeks my symptoms subsided. I was fine for about a month. About a week after another instance of anal sex my symptoms gradually returned and have been raging now for about two and a half weeks. I guess my question is, can prostatitis come an go like this, or is this a clear sign of herpes? its confusing because I've had none of the "typical" signs of herpes.

    I'm having a similar problem.  Received oral sex from a guy, then a few weeks later began having pains in/on my penis.  My urethra has become very sensitive, although it comes and goes.  Have been to 2 MD's, 2 Dermatologists, and 1 Urologist only to find nothing.  He said it could be HSV, but doesnt think so, but didnt do a test as there was no sore/the tests tend to be inaccurate anyway.

     

    Anyone else having the same problem with pain/skin irritation on the penis below the front side of the head?

    and dont focus on the pain - think UR HEALING - NOT IN PAIN

    MIGHT HELP.

     

    IF U NOTICE WHEN U DO THIS THINKING AND LOOK DOWN. UR PENIS LOOKS LESS RED

    mind plays a part. but if u do really have a problem there - the docs can give the meds and cure-

    the rest is up to u . potassium permanganate or somehtingnot surte..taken orally .helps relief pains.

    I have had similar symptoms as those described above for the past 24 months, but i'm getting better quickly. I completely stopped drinking alcohol after new years eve, stopped drinking caffine, stopped eating nuts, keep masturbation to a minimum (every other day), bought a urine ph test kit off amazon.com to see if my urine was acid. It was very acid urine (around 5 ph) so I stopped eating as much meat and started mixing 4 tablespoons of baking soda in water and drinking it every day that got rid of the "hot urine" feeling. My urine ph is around 7.5 ph now and I feel much better. Now I just have to be careful not to aggrivate things during bowel movements and masturbation. I also found that putting an ankle sock over my twig and berries and wearing briefs reduces the friction that was causing some of the swelling. I am on a diet of oatmeal, fresh fruits, and caffine free drinks. In the last 2 1/2 months I have gone from feeling really bad to functioning normally. I have resolved to continue this regimine for the rest of the year and hopefully I will get back to normal. I went to my Dr. 5 times and my urologist 2 times they didn't help much. My Dr. gave me Cipro for a month and my urologist told me to take lots of ibuprofen (800mg a day). The Cipro actually reduced inflammation more than the ibuprofen! Don't do like I did and try to ignore it for almost 2 years. Change your diet and Drink Baking Soda! Don't drink alcohol in any form I have tried wine, liquor, beer, all bad! I hope this helps somebody.

    All the same symptoms, all the doctors and antibiotics. I had this crap since October. I am 42. In February I had an appointment to see the urologist. About a week before the fingerjam visit, I started taking Forslean. I remember sitting there in the waiting room with almost no pain and I felt I should just cancel the appointment but then the nurse called me in. To make a long story short, I got my symptoms back within two days with stuff leaking out my yang for a week and sore for almost two. I think I'll opt for the psa blood test next time. He said everything felt normal, whatever that means. I stayed on Forslean and by the time my yang healed, my insides felt like they did too. The soreness of my lower back and legs was no more, the feeling of pain in between my legs too. I think the Forslean worked for my prostate infection, but I still had redness and burning after urination. And sometimes it would hurt inside my penis like a sore muscle pain. I started taking Pau D' Arco and Neem. Two weeks later the pain is going away inside, but I still had redness and burning after urination. Then I tried Neomycin Sulfate and diaper rash cream together and that seems to work. It's only been a week with the creams. I tried the diaper cream by itself for a few days and it only took away the burning. The redness was still there till I decided to use the Neomycin Sulfate too. I put on the neo first then the diaper cream over it. I don't mix them, the diaper cream is a coating for the neo. I would say this is the number one thing to do for the pain and redness. The results are fast. After having this crap for months I feel almost 100% better than a week ago and I would say to anyone who has this problem to try this. I know what it's like to be mentally consumed with this whatever you want to call it.

    Ok, I have these same symptoms. Mine started after having sex with escorts to be honest. About 1 year after to be exact. Same urination and feelings in the penis. Now I have presented with folliculitis. Been tested for all std's even following 1 year of possible exposure just to be sure. All med doctors and uro I have resolved to be idiots because they ALL said nothing was wrong with me and it was all in my head. Now I proved them wrong when my derm biopsied an itchy bump from these bumps I have been getting lately and the official diagnosis of the bump was folliculitis. I decided to talk to natural doctors instead of med doctors and they all say I have a major fungal infection. A fungal infection is very hard to rid of and you MUST completely change your diet and also take many anti fungal vitamins. You basically have to kill and then starve the fungus. I am a very picky eater and love my sweets so I have a long road to recovery...   By the way the other thing that I was told was possible is the effects of HPV because there is not enough research on how HPV affects the male and tests for HPV in men... But this was an idea from my URO so I don't know how much we can trust that. Multiple people told me the fungal infection is the cause. But I will let you know if I find a resolve

    Hello,

     

    I am 28, very sexually and physically active man. I have had unprotected homo sex. At the same time I started taking Creatine and Nitric Oxide to build more muscles and reduce body fat. I do walk/run more than 10-12 miles per week and exercise a lot (5-7 times a week).

     In february of 2008 I noticed that my right ball started hurting me. Also, the tip of my penis got red and some red spots appear on the head of penis(come and go). I got tested negative for all std including IGG Herpes 2.

     

    HOWEVER, I do have regular herpes (as most of us do, about 95% of population). I suspect that my redness that comes and goes  might be caused by herpes 1 that was transmitted to my genital area. I tried clotrimazol, seems to work, and anti yeast cream, usually used by women. All of it seems to work, but not consistently. I also did biopsy of my penis for HPV, nothing was found.

     

    These are possible reasons for the problem:

     

     1) Active exercise and movement causes friction. I changed boxers to briefs, my ball is not hurting that much anymore, however redness persists. I stopped drinking all supplements altogether.

     

    2) SWEAT/MOVEMENT RELATED : I noticed that everytime I sweat at the gym my penis get those red spots, so I try to keep it dry at all times by bringing clean underwear at the gym. However sometimes I wake up in the morning and I see redness on the right side of the tip of my penis sometimes, not significant, but enough to freak out someone who had it all normal months ago.

     

    3) REGULAR HERPES 1 (MAKE SURE THAT YOUR DOCTOR TESTED YOU FOR REGULAR HERPES 1 TOO, NOT JUST FOR GENITAL HERPES 2) : There are not many conclusive studies as to the effect of regular HSV-Herpes 1 in genital areas. Some doctors admit though that regular herpes can get to your penis if you were perfomed oral sex etc. Once there, it will leave some temporary reminders, similar to the ones we have. Excellent suggestion is to use L-lysene (herbal remedy against herpes) in this case. Although Herpes 1 can provide some discomfort but will eventually become very minor and the outbreakes will occur a couple of times per year and then be gone completely. If this is the case, then most of us could easily get it. Interestingly enough, my ex and I were both tested positive for Herpes 1 -IGM was around 4.1, well above 1, which is borderline of positive and negative. If this is a case, no worries guys, most of us have it. Just relax, now it comes with stress, and try to eat fish or other products that contain a lot of L-lysene, or buy the pills in the store.

     

    4) Infections. These are bacterial infections of different kinds, most of which might not even be known to modern medicine. Once your penis is inserted in someone elses vagina or anus, there are million bacterias that can cause this redness. Especially with anal sex, since it has so many bacterias. Suggestion here is to use clotrimazole cream for two weeks, but it did not work for me.

     

    5) When I went to std clinic, she showed me pictures with similar problem than mine. She said that since I am uncut and do a lot of exercise, I get these red spots on tip of my penis and that it is nothing to worry about. True, but I exercised for 2 years intensively and noticed this abnormality only in February, which coincided with unprotected sex with the guy and using Creatine and Nitric Oxide.

     

    Good luck, my email is: mosru80@yahoo.com, can send you photos of mine or exchange thoughts, especially if you have experience in homo sex or anal hetero sex.

     

    thank you

    Same symptoms as all of you. Same nil diagnostic reports.

     

    I used everything and sucked down a lot of anti-biotics at doctor's recommendation. I used Canesten cream which provided modest reduction in symptoms but I still seemed to have uretheritis. I

     

    I, like others here, drew the conclusion that it may be related to some external irritation. I closely examined myself with no obvious physical clue. But I did feel that I did have some localised irritation on the foreskin, although it was not noticeable.

     

    To cut a long story short I started using a hydrocortisone (such as Hyrdrozole). I have had an AMAZING improvement. I had an immediate sense of relief followed by a marked improvement. I have now been using it for 6 days and can report a 99% improvement in both external and intenal irritation. I have no idea whether the internal irritation was referred from the external irritation but I do know that I have got results. I felt that it was my obligation, as someone who has been casting around for answers, to share this with you all. I hope that it helps you too.

     

    I have been applying the cream to the head, shaft, base and testicular area.

    First, I am NOT a doctor and although very educated, I'm NOT sure how accurate my information is. I'm just somebody like yourselves, who is trying to better understand all of this to help everyone out.

     

    After reading every single one of these comments posted, it's safe to say that almost everyone here is sharing the same symptoms and experiences.

     

         - Neg. STD tests (and no explanation)

         - Red, and slightly shiny tip
         - numbing in the lower shaft of the urethra

         - pressure behind the bladder
         - prostate pain or pressure

         - urgency to urinate frequently

         - lower back pain

         - slight fever

         - exhaustion
         - constipation
         - higher count of white blood cells

    After doing some research of my own,
    I believe I'm onto what we're all looking for...

     

    And to help us better understand what we're looking at,
    please open a new tab or browser, to see a picture of our male anatomy:

    http://healthcare.utah.edu/healthinfo/images/ei_0327.gif


    What we're experiencing is an obvious infection in the prostate.
    Which is why the STD tests are reading negative.
    Our white blood cell count is higher, because our body is fighting bacteria that's not suppose to be there. This battle going on inside our bodies is what leaves us feeling tired, exhausted, and some of us with a slight fever or hot/cold chills.

    It is important for us to help our bodies fight this, by eating properly right now!! 


    Please review the picture as you read this, so you can have a better understanding for what I'm about to explain...
    This bacteria has enlarged our prostates.
    As you can see the prostate is central to everything that we're experiencing.
    An enlarged prostate would cause a constipation feeling and an irritation in our bladder, from the prostate pushing against it; which is also why there's an urgency to urinate frequently.

     

    Sometimes this is caused by a sexually transmitted organism, such as chlamydia. However, most cases are caused by infections that are not sexually transmitted. These infections CAN'T be passed on to sexual partners. 

     

    Antibiotics may not get into the prostate gland well. Small amounts of bacteria might "hide" in the prostate and not be killed by antibiotics. Once you stop taking the antibiotic, the infection can get bad again. If this happens, you might have to take antibiotics for a longer period of time to prevent another infection.

     

    Also...
    Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen (two brand names: Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (one brand name: Aleve), and hot soaking baths may help you feel better. Some men get better by taking medicines that help the way the bladder or prostate gland work.


    Now, many have mentioned drinking alcohol...
    this will dehydrate you.
    ...Along with coffee, soda, etc.

    How has everyone been with drinking water lately?

    Do you excersice or do a lot of physical activity?

    And your diet, how have you been eating lately?


    Chances are, that right now our bodies are ACIDIC and DEHYDRATED.
    Did you know that this is the PERFECT environment for bacteria?

    This may be whats causing the pain at the tip of the penis and numbness in the lower shaft of the urethra. What could be useful is helping your body to become more alkaline, which is the complete opposite of being acidic.
    ...detoxing.

    Pay CLOSE attention to your DIET.
    Right now we need to rid our body of bacteria, strengthen our immune systems, and in the mean time.... not irritate our prostates!!

    If you masturbate frequently, remember... this will irritate your prostate.
    I'd say, help yourself out and cool it down for a good while!


    Here are some things that would help or hurt,
    and I've put into "YES" and "NO" groups for us...

     

    YES:

         - Drink LOTS of water

         - Eat HEALTHY: vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, whole grains, etc.
         - Take vitamins. some of these may help:

               Beta Sitosterol

               Saw Palmetto

               Amino Acids- Glycine, Alanine, Glutamic acid

               Zinc Citrate

               Selenium

               Vitamin D3

               Vitiman C

         - Colloidal Silver Spray

                         

    NO:

         -No sweets, sugar, or artificial sweeteners

         -No coffee, soda, artificial juices, or alcohol
         -No Milk or dairy products

     

     

    Right now I'm waking up and immediatly drinking a large glass of water!
    I'm drinking PH balanced water, which is alkaline.
    (google search: "Alkaline Water" to learn more.)

    I'm also taking 4 sprays of "Colloidal Silver", which is...

     

    Wikipedia: Colloidal Silver -

    "Concentrations of colloidal silver at 5 parts per million or higher have been found to kill numerous infectious bacteria. Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was widely used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic. It was produced by pharmaceutical companies under various names, including Protargol. But the electro-colloidal production process was costly and the pharmaceutical industry developed fast-acting, less-expensive sulfa drugs and penicillin. Colloidal silver has been approved by the EPA as a disinfectant for hospitals and medical centers."

     

    I hope some of this helps you guys!
    God bless!

    Actually I think what a lot of you guys may have is IC (interconstitial cystitis).  I was diagnosed early on with acute prostatits, which is caused by IC.  After waking up out of the blue one night having to pee every 15 minutes and feeling a burning sensation (to which I wanted to bash my head in), I agreed to go to the doctor. They started me out with all of these antibiotics, but nothing worked. I mean they worked for the time I was on them, but then it went right back to the same ol' same ol'.  Then I went to a specialist and he ran several urological tests.  I went through the cystocope, hyperdistention, etc. until finally I was told I have IC. Basically it's an incurable disease that wrecks your life. You really need to look it up on the net and maybe find a specialist to see if you have this.  Otherwise you may just keep having to go back to the doctor again and again.

    Hey guys, same symptoms as all of you. I was a little freaked...

    Afteer reading all of your posts, what worked for me was Nature's Bounty triple strength Cranberry pills at Walgreens, and Tylenol 500 Mg. took about 3 of each each day for 3 days.

     

    I only suffered with my issue about 4 weeks. The Cranberry pills and Tylenol stopped all issues in 3 days. Now, I have been free of my symptoms for about 10 days. Resumed sex about 8 days ago. No problems at all.

     

    It worked for me.

    Hi - saw your post in the logn and yet strangely comforting thread on this topic. My symptoms are similar after unprotected sex;

     

    - a week later, mild irritation inside the tip, with redness aroundthe methal opening

    - visited Clinic, tested and treated for Chlamydia, Ghonorea, Syphillis and HIV - all tests were clear

    - 3 weeks later, no change - treated again (Metro) - some relief, but relapse a couple of weeks later - tests revealed Group B Strep - then took penicillin, but relapse again about 2 weeks later

    - all this was going on in Summer 2007 - now after further courses of Trimethropin, Ciprofloxin, Dyoloxin, no real change

    - Urologist has found e-Faecalis in my semen - treated with penicillin, but relapse again - now on Levfloxin - drinking Cranberry juice too - feeling a bit better, but still 3 weeks to go on Levafloxin

     

    Its been hell for nearly two years now, but hope to be nearly through it.

    Hello !!!!!!!! I do not have the burning or any symptoms anymore! It has all gone away. Had it since October and I'm happier than a pig in S*@#! After using the creams, I decided to stop using them to see if it has gone away, and it did not as far as the burning after urination and I still had some redness. I went back to another doc and she said this is not an infection, but INFLAMMATION. I replied " ok, so what do I have to lose ?"  She said "it can affect your prostate and the whole entire urinary tract gets serious abuse from this problem. It actually can never get better because the inflammation attacks the good cells for recovery. It mimicks infections, herpes, prostatitis, or anything that doesn't look right including redness, burning and pain. So one has to block the process of it's advance" (i should write for tv ads...lol) . She prescribed me " METHYLPRED" and "NAPROXEN". But after paying just over $8.00 for the two at walmart, I've read numerous side effects this medicine can cause (NSAIDs). Too many for me and I am a prime specimen for side effects, almost everything that has one I get. The Naproxen is a little more forgiving, it won't just kill you outright like Methylpred can, you will have other ailments first to let you know that's coming. So this was out of my mind and yes, back to the health food store. I got "APIS MELLIFICA". It is for inflammation and I can say it works. **** good too. It even lists these symptoms on the product itself. I also found a bottle of "AMOXICILLIN" in my freezer. There was only enough for five days and I just finished it too so that might have helped, I can't be totally sure it did. The side effects of Amoxil are next to nothing. Most important is I do not have pain anymore. My redness is gone completely on the tip and my foreskin color looks normal again. No feeling like urine dripping out either. When I get out of the shower everything is normal, no burning!!! I'm not going to tell the doc I did not take the drugs she prescribed. But from what I learned about drugs that contain Naproxen, it can cure this (do a search on inflammation), that is why when some people say they feel better when taking ALEVE, the drug is actually curing the inflammation. It blocks what inflammation needs (yes it is a disease, you can suffer from chronic symptoms). It has to be taken in higher doses and for long periods of time. The doctor prescribed me 500mg doses twice a day for ten days with the Naproxen. The ALEVE version contains sodium and is 200mg. It's worth a try if you're not into health food stores. I still eat the way I always have. In my opinion you can get this from a variety of things such as dirty hands (if you're not washing your hands before sex you'd better think about it now), detergent not rinsing completely out of clothes wash (does it burn after it has touched your underwear ?), or off your body after shower, shampoo, having oral sex after eating, rough sex (your penis got bent some sort of way and at the time it didn't hurt), drinking out of dirty cups, sharing drinks, using dirty dishes or utensils to cook with, eating food with unwashed hands (buffets are good for this, everyone is eating with their hands and touching the same utensils everyone else touches to refill their plate. People look at me because I use a napkin to hold the dirty, greasy looking utensils who knows what's on it), unfiltered water, using a penis vacuum pump (your penis will go through some massive inflammation, and even worse you could get cancer with inflammation being your first sign), chemicals (if you're in construction or work on cars remember to not hold it as you urinate, the chemicals just don't wash off your hands till about 2-3 days later and your chances of cancer increases if you get a chemical infection). Yes I got this after having sex so eating is not my problem. It started out like an std infection with the stains in my underwear and doxycycline took care of that, but not the inflammation, which is caused by the infection. Some people might read this and go out and take a handful of ALEVES, but please read the side effects caused by NSAIDs first. Or you can go the health food store route which has no side effects. WHOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    Hi Dave101

     

    how are you doing?

    I wonder if you could help at all, your probably getting loads of people getting in touch with you.

    I read your post on the website.

    I'm having the exact symptoms....to be honest i thought i was the only one having these symptoms.

    Its very down heartening to think that doctors cannot solve this condition and look at you as if you have
    2 heads.

    I've spent a fortune on medicines over the last year and i am no better.

    I've been on ciproxin and other antibiotics i have also been on Anti inflamatroy tablets.

    i also have the discomfort at the top of my penis and mentally its destroying me.

    As i have had a pain in the left lower side for the last year.

    I was wondering if you could help at all tell me what to take, any tablets i can buy or anything i can change in
    my diet,

    i do drink at the weekends and its always worse after a night out which is turning me off going out now.
     

    thanks a lot.

  34. My Problem is Resolving
    Pato
    Sunday, April 27, 2008 at 08:11 AM

    Before getting into it, I will mention that in doing my several months of research and reading about others, I noticed that very few men wrote that their problem was cured or went away. At first this really depressed me, then I thought that perhaps they simply went on with their busy lives after solving the issue and never bothered to follow up. I admit that I was inclined to do the same.

     

    To summarize, I had a rough sexual experience in December 2007 which lead to some kind of urinary infection (urges, frequency, burning). I took all kinds of antibiotics and the problem resolved EXCEPT for some redness and irritation/burning/pain at the tip of the penis. That remained my ONLY problem. (Therefore, I am NOT writing about testacles, rashes, prostate, infections, STDs or urges to urinate.)

     

    OK, with the above in mind, my doctor has diagnosed me with having sustained an injury to the penis tip. I think he is correct. The tip has never been the same since that one initial experience. He says that the injury inolves a nerve and this is causing my discomfort. (In reading posts of other men I noticed that those with similar symptoms also had a rough encounter, for example one guy with a lap dance/pants zipper, one guy with oral sex/teeth).

     

    My doctor says that over time the problem will slowly go away. I agree with him for a few reasons. First, all tests have been negative. Second, one other symptom which I was not sure of was that the opening of my urethra seem slightly longer, and after urinating I noticed that a few extra drops, more than normal, were coming out. This is now resolving itself, but I feel that this urine was adding to the redness and/or irritation a little. Finally, and most important, I do believe that I am VERY SLOWLY improving. I can feel the irritation as I sit here and write this, but it is not what it used to be and I am hopeful that over time it will resolve. It has been over four months now in total, so it is a long process. However, to anyone out there with this problem I say just hang in there.

    I have the same problem and it developed on December 31, 2007 just as yours did.  Same inflammation at the tip of my penis, all tests negative, etc.  Burns worse after alcohol, masturbation etc.  I'm glad I found this post because I feared I had some sort of new STD that has not been discovered yet.  I am going to try all the things people have said helped on this post (Aleve, APIS MELLIFICA, Cranberry capsules, vitamin C, and Zinc) and I will let you guys know what happpens.  Thank god I don't have an STD!!!

    Hello,  I figure my issue is sort of like your's.  I shave down below with a hair trimmer and I kind of clipped the side of my urinary track ( right on the side of the hole where pee comes out ) that caused it to bleed.  I did not think much of it but maybe a couple of weeks later I had a sort of std looking tip of my penis.  I went to the dr and they gave me some antibiotics and told me to take that.  It sort of went away but there has been this sore redness on the tip of my penis since.  This has now gone away  since I have started to use the cortazone creame again but the tip ( right around the whole ) is still sore and red and hurts when I pee.  I feel ( discomfort ) most of the day and it's really annoying ..  In reading these posts I as well don't have the need to pee all of the time or any other real pain ( although sometimes in my groin ) but not sure that's related.   Bottom line I think it's kind of getting better but it's very frustrating .  This all started in Dec 2008 and I am still dealing with it.  Any ideas let me know.

    Have had similar sysmptoms for years; first diagnosed as NSU (non-specific urethritis), eventually as  Herpes; agree that diet plays an important part in triggering attacks; also suspect that an infection can be transferred from feet (Athlete's Foot e.g.) when underwear is being pulled on. Tinactin user may be onto something - at least a temp relief?

    Sunday, May 11, 2008 at 08:51 PM

    it all started about a year ago. I had unprotected sex with my gf and her two friends. a few weeks later my gf went to the doc for what she thought was a yeast infection but it turned out to be gonorrahea. I went and got treated and thought everything was ok. About a week later i started having painful urination and the tip of my penis was red and my ball felt like they were in a vice. I went back in and they gave me some pills that did nothing. Got tested for a bunch of stds and all came back negative. They said they did see white blood cells and protiens in my penis discharge. I went to numerous doctors and a urologist and they all tell me different things. The urologist told me to drink more water and less alcohol.  Ive been on about 5 different medications that didn't do much of anything except drain my wallet. I don't know what to do and everyday it freaks me out. I just want it to go away. No threesome is worth this. Any help out there?

    Same symptoms. Scraped the tip of my penis on the hair stubs of my girlfriend when having sex. I was tested for all diseases and have none. I have very sensitive urinary track to any kind of annoyance, very red opening and sharp pinching feelings inside my urinary track of my penis. After initially scraping myself it started to puss and discharge and I had to rounds of antibiotics which cleared that up. Now it is very very sensitive and will not heal. It is getting better as I take advil to relieve the aches a bit and I am taing something from the Chinese Doctor for Urinanry track infections called quick action Niaolu xiaoyen tablets. Seems to be helping a bit. I have been waiting at least 2 weeks now for the Urologist to even call me with an appointment. I wish we could hear from the guys that say they will update their problem so we may have some hope.

    I posted a few times over the past few months about my personal battle with the mystery.  Mine seemed to come on after a vigerous lapdance. It was confusing as there was no penetraion of any kind.  So, no realistic reason to suspect an STD.  I do, however remember feeling pain in my penis when the stripper was grinding her huge ass on my crotch.  Even though I'd pounded about 7 beers that night, I was still lucid enough to realize something was slightly wrong.  I now think she crushed the shit out of my urethra. 


    After the fact, my symptoms included painful urination, frequent urination, painful ejaculation, mild testical pain, burning feeling in the penis (as if I'd rubbed icy hot all over my junk).  All tests (chlamydia, gohn, all other stds) were negative.  

     

    My ordeal started in mid-October.  Was pretty awful for about 1.5 - 2 months and then the symptoms gradually tapered off.  I can say that I am back to about 99% normal now, about 6 or 7 months later.

     

    I took the 20 days of doxycyclene at my doctor's reccomendation.  It did seem to help with some of the burning, but did NOT totally heal things.


    On my own accord I did the following:

    1) Went from drinking about 4 beers or cocktails a night to about 1 per WEEK.  This helped immensley.  Any time i'd drink, my urethra would burn shortly there after. 

    2) Laid off spicy foods and acidic foods.  This meant NO hot sauce, red pasta sauce (very acidic), salsa, etc.

    3) Drank lots and lots and lots of water.

    4) Got good, regular exercise and good sleep.

    5) Drank cranberry juice, took cranberry extract pills

    6) took Vitamin C suppliments

    7) took zinc suppliments

    8) TOTALLY laid of coffee (I drink a lot of coffee)

     

    I just hit my 29th birthday and I am becoming aware that my body won't take the abuse I used to dole out on a regular basis.   

     

    To those having these problems:  If it's not an std, it's probably one of two things:

    1) Another non-STD related bacteria or yeast infection.  These can be aquired from sex (esp. anal sex). 

    2) Some sort of irritaion due to lifestyle... i.e. bike riding, long running w/o sufficent support, heavy drinking of beer or coffee, etc.

     

    I think we all tend to freak over this due to the fact that the problem is in the penis.  We're all pretty attached to our penises.  Literally.


    In truth, urethritis or prostatitis is not much different from any other random "itis" such as bronchitis, colitis, sinitus, etc.  But ask yourself this:  If you had bronchitis, would you continue to suck down the Camels?  If you had colitis would you hit that Venti Coffee every morning?  NO! 

    You have to adjust your lifestyle to let your body heal. 


    Once you're healed, you can return to your normal routine...

     

    I'm drinking beer again,

    Drinking coffee again,

    Eating pasta again,

    Eating salsa again....

     

    However, i am never letting a fat ass stripper crush my dick again...

    ive tried everything from doctors, ciproxin, anti flamatroy tablets and instilligen gel which calms it a little.

    im finding it very hard to sleep....and in a lot of discomfort, the doctors havent a clue whats wrong, they think everything is fine.

    ive had all the STD checks in a clinic and all were negative.

    so i am really at a loss.

    i was looking at all the foods u have stopped etc.

    i will certainly look at this, did you use any creams or tablets?

    Dear Fellows -

     

    i concurr to guy who said the above measuremens to prevent and get better in penis injuries or even STD's post scarring pains -

     

    just like to add that i did all the above - i did get better - problem was - when i did drink alittle and smoke a cigarrete a day , i got back the burning sensation.

     

    basically this are the things as above -

     

    1) treatment with doxychline( or change to erithomizine if does  work for u ) for 14 days or more depending

    2) drinks lotsof cranberry juice and cranberry extract juice

    3) exericse

    4) possible a can drink once a week -( hell no - hell yes) - avoid would be the best

    5) no smookes - the tar actually reaches your urethra finally -

    6) use vaseline once a while 3 days or some..apply alight layer so reduces any friction

    7) have manuka honey or good honey - it heals wounds by nature -not too much. or u will burn again - every 3 days..very very small amounts -1/4 tea sppoon. varies on invidiuals

    8) asas age catches up like me at 37 - the healings r slower.. trust me..- i been thru this last 7 years

    9) lots of lots of water- poosibly do a water parade - luke warm water would be good

    10) no rough sex- sex is how u manipulate a woman ' lve - i made a woman squirt twice -so i know something. just twice.- lots of foreplay guys--and then not take much to get her to come and strangely squirt - 25 mins foreplay..yes i know it sucks)

     

    11) cut your meat - eat more raw vegs if possible

    12) no coffeeno spicy food - or dried chillies especially - no too much spices!

    chill is fine..justas long its fresh . but minimal

    13) just eat right if u wanna live fucking happily. think abt it. cooffee beer or sex??

     

    The rest is up to you  to follow:) this is my experience. Good luck :)

    I am also experiencing what a lot of you are describing.  For the last three weeks I have been having a full bladder feeling or irritation and a burning sensation when urinating.  It's the worst right after I go, which leads me to believe it's prostate and not bladder.  Went to the doctor and got a urine test, nothing wrong there, so he prescribed two weeks of doxycycline and said it was probably prostate.  Last week at this time it stopped for a few days but then came back and I have noticed no change since.  I have been a bit dehydrated also even though I've been drinking a ton of water. 

     

    I have been doing a lot of research on this and think that the irritation may in large part be due to sitting habits.  I work in an office and have been noticing that it is worst at work in the afternoon.  I will urinate and then immediately feel like I have to go again, and often I leak a little as soon as I sit down, like the urethra is never quite empty.  It doesn't leak  enough to show, but enough to be uncomfortable.  I recently took a big trip and was sitting on a plane and on a bus a lot, and immediately afterwards is when I first noticed the urinary discomfort.  Maybe in addition to examining your diet, sex habits, clothing, etc., you should also think about if you're putting a lot of pressure on your prostate... it is in fact what we are sitting on most of the time.  I don't have a fat butt and so there isn't much cushioning for me so it is starting to cause me a slight amount of physical pain although I have had very little real pain to speak of (just discomfort).  I have a 3 day weekend coming up so I plan to lay around a lot to see if it improves.  Any thoughts on that?

  39. MSM worked for urethritis

    Monday, June 02, 2008 at 10:27 PM

    I have had issues similar to most on this forum, urethral burning after urination, red penis glans and swelling of glans and urethral opening.  Also having some discomfort in the prostate region.

     

    My family doc prescribed 2 x 7 day courses of Cipro which didnt completely knock it out.  All STD test negative.  I went to a Uro who prescribed Levaquin for Prostatitis which I took for 2 months.  Things actually seemed to get worse while on the medication and the burning especially got really bad.  I started looking at related conditions like Interstitial Cystitis which is more of an irritated bladder condition.  I read that some had gotten relief from a sulfur compound called MSM.  Its readily available at most health food stores and is often taken for joint conditions.  Two days after taking MSM, the urethral burning disappeared.  I thought it was too good to be true.  Its been about 10 days since I started taking MSM and I can definitely say its helped the burning.  Some of the other symptoms are still there but MSM has made a huge difference.

     

    I'm also taking Quercetin, Hydrangea extract and Chanca Piedra.  These have also helped but I believe MSM is the key.  It's cheap and I would recommend giving it a try.  For me, a high fiber diet has also helped.  Straining during bowel movements made the symptoms worse so the more fibre the better.  I also agree that heavy drinking  and acidic foods / drinks exacerbate things.  Advil seems to help somewhat for the rectal discomfort.

     

    Overall I agree that our docs know very little about this condition.  Chronicprostatitis.com is the best site I have found that deals with many of these symptoms.

     

    Good luck.

    a few months ago i had unprotected anal sex with a chick and since then my life has been a daily hell, as is most of yours i'm sure. i've seen numerous doctors and have had no luck. my symptoms are - sensitivity at the tip of my penis, a dull and sometimes, but rarely, pain under my ribs on my right side. also, that same pain right on my right side and towards the back on the right side. needless to say this has destroyed my life cause like most of you i'm getting the run-around from all these doctors who make it seem like it's no big deal, but hey they don't have to live with it so what do they care right? well worse of all this girl apparently gave me herpes so i'm not sure if the sensitive penis tip is from that or not? i don't have any burning tho. the worst part for me is these abdominal and back pains. i can't seem to shake this. i've had x-rays, a catscan and a frickin ultrasound so far. supposed to be going to see a stomach specialist (GI) next week but i'm sceptical because i think this is just some damn infection that should be easily curable but the doctors don't seem to know s**t! needless to say i'll never do anal with a female again, i knew better but was caught up in the heat of the moment and got burned! it's good to see people reporting signs of getting better but a little disappointing for me cause i'm not seeing much talk of the abdominal pain i'm feeling. it seems we're our only hope so if i try something that works or figure out my own problem I WILL report back. there has to be answers for this, esp. with so many of us going thru similar things.

    To all men, that seem to be experiencing the same or similar symptoms.. I'd like to share my story as so many of you have done in hopes that maybe something will click..

     

    I noticed that something was immediately wrong at the time of receiving oral sex. Upon ejaculation, I felt this god awful stinging sensation that went up my entire penis shaft... It didn't last for very long, but I certainly noticed it.. Nothing came about until approx. a month later.. But my symptoms did not start in my genital region.. I noticed a change in my stool, and my bowel movements became less and less. This was followed by really bad stomach cramps. I tried taking Pepto Bismol for it, but it was just a temporary fix.. The cramps got so bad that I had to visit the ER. Several X-Rays/ cat scans later... Nothing was wrong... Stomach cramps actually disappeared on their own... A couple of weeks later I started noticing very strange sensations in my genitals.. It seemed that I had the constant urge to urinate... Even after relieving myself, it felt like I still had to go... And I recall having a dripping sensation that would come and go at random times, whether I needed to go to the bathroom or not.. This then led to a pinching sensation in the tip of my penis.. The best way to describe this is that it felt like the tip of my penis kept opening and closing. I then started to get really sharp pains in my butt that affected the way I sat and walked. I immediately went to an STD clinic and had a full panel of tests performed (except for HIV). Everything came back negative except for Herpes HSV-1.. The doctor told me that if I've ever had a cold sore or Chickenpox, that the test would automatically come back positive for HSV-1.. Regardless, the doctor prescribed Doxy (antibiotic)... To no avail, the antibiotic did basically nothing..

     

    Several weeks went by and I tried to forget what was going on, but it was nearly impossible to not think about all the bothersome sensations that I was experiencing.. Eventually, I believe the frequent need to urinate subsided.. But all of the strange symptoms in my genitals still persisted.. (ie. pinching sensation, pins and needles that affect my testicles and my butt).

     

    Then, out of nowhere, I started to experience severe flu like symptoms... I became very fatigued, couldn't get out of bed without feeling like I was going to pass out, lost my appetite, was very dizzy, etc.. Perhaps the worse thing I could do for myself was google all of these symptoms only to see Acute HIV syndrome keep popping up.. I really started to freak out, and needless to say, the symptoms persisted.. My parents really got worried and decided to take me back to the ER.. (A different hospital this time).. Basically they thought I was crazy.. I belive they even tried to treat me for depression as opposed to the actual reasons that I went in for... During this second trip to the ER, they ended up admitting me for a week.. They performed several urine tests/ blood tests etc... Everything came back normal/ negative.. I also requested to be tested for HIV at the time... This as well came back negative.. (phew!).. Because of my initial abdomen cramps and loss in bowel movements, I had more X-Rays performed in addition to a Colonoscopy... As you guessed it... Nothing was wrong.. They later discharged me and told me to drink plenty of fluids, (as I came into the hospital severely hydrated)..

     

    I was really upset that they couldn't find anything wrong during my second trip to the ER... It felt like such a waste of time..

     

    After about a week of recovering, (still had the genital sensations, very little to no bowel movements, dizzyness) etc., I decided to make an appt. with a Urologist.. As I've done so many times before in the past, I explained my situation to him, and he was convinced that I was suffering from Prostatitis! I didn't buy it to be honest with you. He tested my urine once again and stated that everything was fine, no infection etc.. He prescribed Uroxotrol (spelling?) and Cipro.. As you guessed again, no results with either meds.. In fact, I actually believe the Cipro made the symptoms worse.. I just recently went back to follow up with him, and I broke down.. After so many doctors visits/ ERs, etc., this is becoming to take such a toll on me.. I was such a happy go lucky person before this happened, and now I feel that it has put such a damper on my life.. After my little breakdown, he then accused my symptoms of being a result of guilt from my oral sex experience... This made me so much more angry!! And to add to it, he was still convinced that I'm suffering from prostatitis.. He prescribed more Uroxotrol and told me that this just takes time to heal... I personally believe he's full of shit, but I'm no doctor..

     

    As I'm sitting here typing, I can't stop thinking about the current sensations I have: pinching sensation in penis, pins and needles feeling in testicles and butt, non consistent bowel movements, and on occassion, lower back pain... I am scared to death and the thought of me having these sensations for the rest of my life has got me so worked up.. I'm 23 years of age!! And I'm convinced that had I not had this last oral sex experience, I would not be here typing this post...

     

    We have got to work together to help one another get through this!! Please, I beg of you guys... Some of you that have posted before, if you're still around, please provide us with updates, insight etc... This is such a scary thing and we need to help each other out..

     

    My condolences to those experiencing this horrible disease, whatever it is..

    An update of my condition. It started in March, I hurt the tip of my penis on the pubic hair of my girlfriend as she had stubble from shaving the prior week. I immediately knew something was wrong as it hurt so bad all weekend. Followed by a bad infection that crusted my underwear very badly. It was a constant dripping all day long. I had the dose of Doxy and it subsided and came back. Both my Girlfriend and I were treated again with Doxy as we were having unprotected sex at the time. The Doxy worked and the dripping did not return. All along I had the strong feeling to urinate and feeling like it was dripping at the tip all the time but was not. I also had pinching and shooting pains up the uretrhra that would make you have to sit down and take a rest. I was to the point of not knowing what to do and after 2 months of hell and being really scared it started to get better.

     

    Now here is the deal. My girlfriend turned out to have a yeast infection however that was not supposed to have affected me at all. I believe that in hurting myself it got infected and just took a very long time to heal. I have to tell you that I noticed the most progression after treating myself with CLOT CR + HYDERM 1% CR. It was prescribed by my doctor. My girlfriend treated herself with Canestan and I understand that the Medication cream my doctor prescribed to me is somewhat for the same thing.

     

    My belief is that the irritation was the issue and it took time to heal. Stay positive and keep a good healthy attitude and keep it as clean as possible. The urine is acidic and it is hard to heal in that type of environment so give it time.

     

    My symptoms are about 99% gone at this point and from the time it all started until now has been about 3 months. There is hope. 

     

    Just be positive...it will go away in time.

    I know this may sound weird but i think i've got the exact same problem as you've described. I used something which my doctor prescribed to me and most of the condition cleared up but i still have redness around the tip of my penis. Did you have the same and if so did it clear up relativly easily? Oh and the tip seems to be really sensitive now. Does most of the condition clear up after using the HYDERM 1% CR. What is the CLOT CR as i haven't heard of this.

    After about a week of using this cream it is mosly gone now. I don't even think about it most of the time and have forgotten all about the problem I had. No redness any longer either. I did have the same issue and it took about 3 months from start to finish to completely clear up...but the week with this cream was the final cure. My Pharmacist friend told me that the CLOT CR stands for Clotriderm Cream....it is a skin and fungal infection cream mostly for skin irritations and yeast infections. The Hyderm is a Steroydal cream with Cortesone in it.

     

    I wish you all the best....let me know how it works so others can use the info as well.

    The prescription was filled by the Pharmacy and the creams were already mixed together into one cream.

     

    It is applied 2 times a day until the symtoms dis-appear......I don't even think I used it a week and quit using it. I am 99.9% cured.

     

    All the best in it working for you.

    Went to the doctors and they asked me to have a urine test for an infection just so that could be ruled out as the cause of the redness. The test from the hospital came back negative.

     

    Went back to the doctors and he said that it could be a prolonged sympton from thrush but the other symptons (peelable dryish skin for one) were absent. He prescribed me a cream, similar to canestan but stronger as this is 2% and canestan is only 1%. It is called 'Miconazole Nitrate 2% Cream'. In other words its 'Daktarin Aktiv Cream' used for athletes foot (another form of fungal infection). I'll be using it for 7-10 days and hopefully symptons will have improved. I will post back within 2 weeks hopefully with positive words.

     

    Be patient to all them in the same boat.

    Hi, i've been using this Miconazole Nitrate 2% Cream (Daktarin Aktiv Cream for athletes foot) for about a month now. The redness at the tip of my penis has almost cleared up but remember the cream needs to be used for 10 days after the infection has cleared up. The reason for the long period of use is that sex or masturbation does not help at all in clearing up the redness. This is due to the area being constantly rubbed and irritated. I found that out the hard way. Other than that, i've been using the cream - without sex or masturbation, for 2 weeks now and the redness is almost gone. The cream is to be used 3 times a day (morning, late afternoon and night) and is available over the counter.

     

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Brian,


    How are ya mate.....my story is a mirror of yours. Exactly what you said ive been through, i.e doctors, hospitals and A&E.
    They look at you as if u have two heads. The doctors havent a clue whats going on with us.

    Since reading everyones comments on this site, i feel that Cranberry capsules seem to be helping me a lot.....
    It gives a healthy Urinary Tract and contains Vitimins C&E
    Im in a bit of discomfort tonight because i drank a lot over the w/e and ate spicy food.
    if i stayed off drink and spicy food and took these tablets and ate non spicy foods and lots of water id be 99% of the time feel good.
    i agree its terribly worrying....because it cannot be diagnosed what we have.
    i keep getting a pain in my left lower side the odd time and anti inflamanory tablets seem to be doing the job....after doing a lot of
    research i think the pain is to do with an enlarged Prostate....due to alcohol and spicy foods....it just doesnt agree with my prostate..
    so im guessing.
    i dont no any of the medical terms on this site but they want to put a camera up to have a look at my bladder and prostate to be honest
    i reckon they wont find anything.
    I told the Urologists that i was going to the toilet ever 10 mins at night time.
    so right now im taking Cranberry Urine tract tablets and the odd day L-lysine.
    Let me know if the Cranberry urine tract tablets work u can get them in the chemist or health shop.
    I was really really down, but since i have been improving ive had a better out look on life. it sounds like though so many people are using different medicines. it would be great were people start getting better on 1 or 2 medicines that we can all go onto.

    I had very similar symptoms to most of you guys on the board here for about a month.  All tests negative, antibiotics did nothing, etc.

     

    Turns out for me it was a SERIOUS UTI.  One that was resisitant to antibiotics, obviously wouldn't show up on STD tests, and caused red tip, burning, and constant uncomfortable feeling. 

     

    The ONLY way I could make mine go away was through holistic methods.  A combination of probiotics (the opposite of antibiotics, this helps get the good bacteria back in your body that will be able to fight off the infection with other methods).  A daily dose of colloidal silver spray, and a shitload of raw, unsweetend cranberry juice (tastes awful).  Use all three of these things for a solid week and I'm sure at least some of you will feel better.

     

    If UTIs are left untreated and worsen they will move to the bladder and kidneys (do some research online), these can become serious and begin to develop other symptoms: fever, etc.

     

    I realize this may not be everyones problem, but I knew mine was sexually transmitted, and since I went into the doctor awhile ago and gotten a boatload of antibiotics for something else, by the time i contracted this my body was immune to those.  Try it... you've got nothing to lose.

    All of the symptoms described in this post (prostate pressure, urethral pain, especially at the tip, lower abdominal pain, constipation) have been bothering me on/off for about eight years. I smoke a pack a day, I drank coffee every morning, and I drank an average of 3 beers/mixed drinks a day (occassional weekend binging). I've been in a monogamous relationship for years now, and I haven't noticed much/any correlation with sexual activity. What I've come to notice is that many of these symptoms intensify following physical strain, particularly of the back.

     

    Eight years ago I worked in a warehouse, and regularly lifted large boxes. Around that time I started getting this "puffy" feeling in my prostate, difficulty urinating, soreness on the head of my d***  and in my nuts, constipation, and a sharp pain in the lower abdomen. I was diagnosed with a) Epidydimitis (not sure of the spelling), b) Prostatitis and finally the urologist chalked it up to something called c) "Interstitial Cystitis". He reached said conclusion after trying me out on a variety of antibiotics and this crap called Peridium (once again, unsure of the spelling, bladder anesthetic that turned my p*** bright orange and didn't help too much with pain) with no improvement. Eventually I had an operation to expand the bladder, which may or may not have helped, hurt like a b****. What I think did help was a) cutting down drastically on my caffeine intake and avoiding highly acidic food/drink (orange juice especially), and b) making sure to lift heavy objects properly, by bracing myself with my legs as much as possible.

     

    This problem didn't bother me much over the last several years, until about a month and a half ago I probably strained my back installing air conditioners throughout my house (I'm 32, seems like the median point for this ailment on this forum). I didn't draw a correlation until recently, after seeing ER docs/a general practicioner/two urologists who found no infection, no STD's and basically chalked it up to Prostatits. I've been on Cipro for about a month and a half, and I've come to a few conclusions/drawn a few observations about this, after keeping an "illness journal" for the last month.

     

    1.AVOID BEER/LIQUOR AT ALL COSTS. A shot or two isn't so bad, but a single beer will f*** you up, due to the double whammy of carbonation and alcohol.

    2.NARCOTICS (Vicodin, Percocet, Oxycontin) can help, but USE THEM AS NEEDED AND SPARINGLY. Too many will cause urinary retention, trust me on this one. Break an M360 in half and you should be good for a while.

    3.IBUPROFEN helps with the swelling of the prostate and somewhat with the burning urinary tract. I take about five 200 mgs a day. Not sure about the long-term side effects, but I wouldn't be able to get through the day without these.

    4.DIET IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE. Drink LOTS of water. I take a water pill about once a week to help cleanse impurities, or if I'm not draining too well. Adding baking soda to the water seems to help as well. DO NOT USE DAILY. I cut out red meat out of my diet entirely, and I eat other meat (chicken, fish, shellfish, pork) once every couple of days. I eat lots of grapes, fresh spinach, and apples. For the most part, a vegetarian diet seems to help quite a bit, with minimal amounts of dairy. Cut out caffeine and sweets entirely.

    5.CIPRO (and other antibiotics) may not seem to help. Well, try going off of them for a while. In my case, it only got worse.

    6.DO NOT OVER-EXERT YOURSELF. Whether at work, exercising, or trying to squeeze a petrified turd out, do not strain anything. You'll feel it in your pee-tube before long. And yes, the doctor checked for a hernia, there's no sign of one. From my understanding, if I was at the top of my game physically, lifting the air conditioners wouldn't have caused much of a problem. Since I was out of shape, the strain, coupled with a fatty, generally unhealthy diet lent itself to wounding and an infection of the prostate, that's been a real b**** to get rid of. Take care of yourself.

    7.IF YOU SMOKE, cut down or quit. I'm not certain if there's any connection, but it can't hurt.

    8.EJACULATION, whether sexual intercourse or waxing your carrot, will almost invariably cause swelling in my prostate afterwards,. Urologists seem split on this issue. On one hand, some assert that ejaculation helps rid you of the infection, so they recommend regular masturbation/sex. On the other, some point out that the physical strain of ejaculation seems to further wound an ailing prostate. You may want to hedge your bets here, and try to limit popping your rocks to every 2-3 days.

     

    Good luck, everyone.

    i was with 2 girls in the past 2 months, one of them had yeast infection, but i'm not sure what triggered this condition, it could also be some sort of guilt i was carrying around after braking up with my exgirlfriend.

    tried difluken and monistat and didn't feel better, later went to the doctor and gave me some antibiotics and cultured for chlamidia, gonorreah and i don't know if something else and i felt better while urinating but still the tip swollen, yesterday after reading the board i went and got two bottles of 100% cranberry and i'm feeling way better, i even used underwear today. Anyhow, i think this is such a weird condition that i have no doubt that is just showing an inner condition that has to be confronted first, at least that is how is feeling for me, but i want to tell everybody that comes to this board after weeks of being unconfortable and uncertain that there is hope.

    Coloidal silver spray can be found at a healthfood store as well as raw, unsweetened cranberry juice.  Also the probiotics I used I bought there too.

     

    If you're really desperate try a combination of things:

    -colloidal silver spray

    -cranberry juice

    -saw palmetto capsules

    -probiotics

    I've been 100% completely cured for about 2 weeks now.

     

    Raw was an adjective i was using to describe the unsweetened cranberry juice.   Yes all this stuff is under $20 (each).  The probiotics are probably the most expensive of them all.  I found mine in a healthfood store.  They have to keep them in a cooler because of the bacteria are very temperature sensitive.

     

    Try to get one that has about 35 billion (hopefully mostly acidopholus - a naturally occuring benign bacteria in our system).

     

    Saw palmetto = good for prostate

    Cranberrry = good for urethra and urinary tract

    Probiotics = good for replenshing good bacteria destroyed by large doses of antibiotics

    Colloidal silver spray = good all around method of fighting bacteria/viruses/funguses, etc.

     

    I would spray the CSS directly on the sore area (maybe 2 squirts day for a week or so).  Also, I would use one of these for a week straight, then stop it and pick up one of the others, don't overwhelm your body with too much stuff, and don't continue use of anything for too long, you're body needs natural healing time as much as it needs help from the above.  Hope you have the same results I did, I got my life back.

    Mine has cleared up as well (at least for the last two weeks), thanks for your help.   I suffered from chronic penile pain and inflamation for over  a year (see my other  posts - atwitsend).  What I used was prostate wellness pills and cranberry extract pills, both bought at Wal-Mart.  I take two of each in the morning and after dinner (eight pills total in a day).  I strongly suggests others do the same.  I know you may think your situation is different and that you are all alone, but believe I lived with the same hellish feeling eveyday for over a year until using these pills.  I feel for everyone going through the same situation and hope all of you the best of luck.

    I have the same issue, redness around the hole, sometime a tingle in the shaft. When I pee it burns, but when I'm done peeing it feels a lot better. One thing I do notice, I took amoxicillin for another infection in my mouth, and boy after the 5th day it hurt like crazy. Stop the meds, felt a little better. So I'm really not sure what is going on myself.

    WOW! ! !  I'm on amoxicillin too.  I noticed the tenderness and pain in my penis head on about the 4th or 5th day.  I thought the two might be related, but now I really do.  Someone else mentioned that the good bac is destroyed by the meds.  Maybe when the amoxicillin is gone, the pain will be too.

    A few comments:

     

    - Within the many posts made here, there are clearly *different* disease states being discussed.  It is not all the same situation.  Some are sexually related, some are not.  Some will be cured by antibiotics, some will not.  If you've recently had sex and have symptoms, go get a simple blood test.  That is likely to be the cause.

     

    - The mysterious "what will make this go away" question applies if the "usual" treatments (ciproflaxin, doxycycline = antibiotics for internal problems, "rash" or fungus treatments (lamisil, tinactin, cotriminizole) for more "topical" (applied onto skin) problems).

     

    - I went to a TOP NOTCH uroligist here in New York City.  After blood tests and an ultra-sound, he said "nothing is wrong you are going to be fine".    BUT there's still the soreness, the red tip, and the swollen urethra which appeared a bit later (in my case).   He was not concerned.  But as other's have said, it's not his equipment that is swollen and sore.   I am concerend and have not yet been able to make it go away.  I've made some $$$ go away as I had to pay for the doctor visits myself, but no cure yet.

    Hey everyone, I wanted to post something on here, because I too I have had these similar problems in the past. I think I came across this post 3 months ago. Here's my story:

    About three months ago I engaged in oral sex with an older man. I gave and recieved. I have had a girlfriend for the past 2 years, but I do have random occurences when I want to hook up with a guy, very rarely but it happens. I met him on the net, seemed pretty clean cut, came over had 2 cock rings on which I was kinda wierded out by. He had a wife and had only done it once or twice before, so I felt like I was safe. The next day, I had sex with my girlfriend and afterwards on a walk, the tip of my penis was very red and sore. I was freaked out, for one I didn't want to have an STD and give it to her and could never in my life tell her it was from a guy. So maybe nerves played a factor in it, but that night I woke up every hour or two to piss.

     

    The next day I still had the urge to piss, and had some uncomfortable sensation in my uretha/testicles. I also fournd my self not having an apitite (which is very rare) and not feeling very good. I was for sure that I had chlam./or/gon. I went to the doc. the next day, to get all tests done. He treated me for chlam/gon. before getting the resutls back. I tested negitive for all stds and HIV. Phew.....I thought I was in the clear.

     

    I had some reacurring issues, uncomfortable urethra, red/inflamed tip (more swollen then red) my sack was red and warm, felt almost like icyhot on my nuts but not as severe. This was really freaking me out, because I thought it might of been too early to be tested to get back accurate results, and maybe I passed it on to my gf who inturn gave it back to me after being tested. He seemed to go away after a couple weeks. I started to take cranberry pills when I had any uncomfortable feelings in my testicles/bladder and that seemed to help.

     

    But recently, about 3 months after the oral, i started to feel like shit. I don't know if it was me being stressed as shit about the possibility of having HIV, which I knew I couldn't get a positive result until 3 months or so. Which freaked me out, cause here I was, almost exactly 3 months later with symptoms. I thought I had thrush, because the roof of my mouth was whiter then normal and my tounge, and that put be over the edge, because that is a huge sign the something is F'd up with your immune system. I checked my girlfriends mouth and it was the same as mine, (even more freaked) This caused me, unbeknowgst to me, to not eat, lose about 10lbs. feel like shit and have myself convinced I had HIV. Everywhere I looked, no matter who I saw, young/old, married/single, i was so envious that they were living a healthy life, and I fucked mine up by getting HIV for a stupid BJ from a guy. My girlfriend and I have both been having red/sore eyes which I thought could be pink eye, again an oppurtunistic infection that HIV+ get., so I felt it was just a matter of time before I got tested positive.

     

    I headed to the urologist today to figure everything out. I told him everything. He laughed when I thought I had HIV, knew I was proabably freaking out, which I was. He took a urine sample, and thank god no sign of STD's/HIV (which they can test for in urine, the white blood count cell) He gave me a prosate test, and said I had a slight prosatitis, and hooked me up on doxy. No matter if this cures it or not, being HIV- is the best outcome no matter what! He said that the prosatits was causing my testicles to be tender and have bladder discomfort.

     

    Hope this brings hope or any relevance to anyone, cuz I know I read through a ton of the storeis on here. Sorry it was such a long ass story, but I think I needed to get this out of me anyway!

    Hi, I have been sufferring from redness at the tip of penis and irritation in urethra while passing urine or semen ejactulation from last two weeks. I had sex with one girl and condom was broken and bad think happened that i did not pee after sex. Initially it was just little irriration at the top and after it became more painful specialy after masterbating. I went to doctor he did do blood, urine culture test and asked me to take Superas400mg and Uripass. All my test were clean no STD found. I searched on the net and found out that some people are having same kind of symtoms for more than 5 to 10 years without any cure. That made me really upset. Previous medication could not make any difference and things were getting worst Doctor changed the medication no difference. I purchased Carnberry + Saw Palett & Probiotics and could not get Collidac Silver Spray in Dubai pharmacy because of not approved drug by FDA. I had small surgery of my nose surgen gave me general ansthizia and Rocephin 1gm injection (to avoid any infection). After 1&half hours surgery i woke after 4 hours and went to pee i did not have pain at all while passing urine. I consulted the doctore immediatly about the medication and informed my problem; Doctor told me your infection went off because of Rocephine (Roche) injection but i still had little irritation. Next day i went to another Urologist in the same hospital where i was admitted for my nose surgery and informed him about all story; he was quite angry because of unsafe sex. He told me its really life threatening situation we put ourseleves. BTW he did my ultrasound everything is fine Bladder, Kidneys then he examined my penis it was redish still but very little he diagnosis me Urethritis (i.e. infection of Urethra)he asked me to take one more Rocephine 1gm injection for two days and prescribed me Ciprobay 500 one in the moring and one in the night. And asked for urine sample for culture test (still waiting for results). Yesterday it was my last dose for Rocephine and i checked about the drug on net its really good antibactertria. Please search on the net. I hope that my situation will be better in the coming days like i still have very little irritation but top of my peins is normal. Yesterday i did masterbate and it was almost normal very little irritation while ejactulation. Last 10 days were very hard. I will continue medicine just to inform i m still taking Carrenberry Capsules and Saw Platt.. and offcourse drinking lot of water. Infection was in very early stage i hope that i got saved because of my nose surgery. I hope that it will help and consult your doctor for Rocephine. If i feel again symtoms i will come back to the forum to update otherwise good luck to all of you... Regards

Sunday, April 27, 2008:.  Well, it has NOT resolved but I think I am learning how to deal with it.  Again, my symptoms are red tip, urethra tingling/pain, worse after urinating and sitting, better in the morning.  Also better after a hot shower.

     

    I believe that it’s an inflammation / irritation of the prostate.  Call it prostatitis if you wish.  I have had some good days and some bad days, but I always have the problem.  I agree with many of the previous posters’ advise, as follows:

     

    Avoid Alcohol and caffeine.

    Try not to sit for long periods of time.

    Use anti-inflammatories (Alieve, for example).<!--EndFragment-->

    I have similar issues in addition to pain after ejaculation. It is not prostatitis like many urologists say. It is a symptom of messed up pelvic floor muscles, and can be repaired by going to a physical therapist who deals in this area of the body. Read the book titled, "A Headache in the Pelvis" and you will find the answers you are looking for.

    I am in absolute bits tonight, the stinging and burning is so severe, i just had a hot shower to ease the pain and it has a little. I sprayed high stability COLLOIDAL SILVER on the tip of my penis to also ease the pain...Ive been taling Sona Cranberry tablets.

    I also poured 8 drops of Echinacea into a half glass of water.....which inhances the immune system and is also for tract infections.....

     

    I have been taking ProstaiD with Saw Palmetto also the odd time.

    All my tablets are made by Sona.

     

    I dont seem to be getting any better.

    I cant live a normal life and mentally it is killing me, i feel like my life is onhold now.

    I bought Cranberry juice with Birch from a health store, anywhere i can get RAW as someone calls it anywere else with just Cranberry juice without the sweetener.

     

    The stinging tonight at the top of my penis was really bad tonight, i even got chest pains it was so bad...when its at its worse, my scrotum is also really itchy.

    Ive also noticed changes with my penis were the Foreskin seems to be dissapearing over long periods of time with this....sounds wierd and stupid....but my penis when erect is not the length it used to be now cause of constant urethra infections it does take its toll...

     

    I was suicidle last year but i try to look on the posotive sides of life now.

    My doctors think theres nothing wrong with me....everytime i get te red and terrible pain at the top of my penis i go to the doctor he sees the redness takes a urine sample and says everything is normal.

     

    I do be astonished that everything comes back normal....i went for all STI checks and nothing all came back clear....im at wits end...

     

    i feel i need all the help and adivce i can get, i wish people updated on this site on a daily basis, because sometimes i wait days for replies or for people to post updated.

     

    my life is onhold, i have a good job and a lovely g/f but im not having sex because of my problems.

    ive told my g/f about my problem...and she thinks i will get better but i am not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel, im now thinking i will have this for life.

     

    Ive had terrible sharp pains on the left hand side everytime i bend down this used to happen after a night out and i think it could of been an enlarged prostate....ive had xrays done and nothing showed up. 

     

    is there anything else i should try take to control the urethra infections than come and go all the time.

    THis is the worst pain, if i can control this it wouldnt be all so bad..!!

    There seems to be a common thread here.

     

    Like many, I have the feeling of still having pee in my penis, burning tip, and some shooting pains in my testicular area. Been off and on Levaquin, Flagyl, now cipro. Oddly I am realizing today that this may have started after I started taking cipro for a tooth infection. Burning in penis, especially after ejaculation. however it was also recent to unprotected sex with a likely unmonogomous girlfriend whoclaimed no symptoms before or since and a clean routine pelvic exam with testing for STD's due to her active sex-life. This followed by my infecting (burning and itching) a different girlfriend a few months later with non-diagnosis for STD but cure after taking flagyl. Then, after I was on Levaquin for 5 weeks and felt fine for several weeks I infected another woman (burning and itching) who tested negative to std's, diagnosed with "bacterial vaginitis" described as common after sex with a new partner, and nothing to be upset about. She was given cipro and then contracted a yeast infection; stopped the cipro; treated for the yeast infection and felt fine.

     

    I notice several people here have had positive results with topical yeast infection cremes, or other things that are toxic to yeast/fungus.

     

    Has anyone tested and been treated for systemic yeast infection/thrush and been cured?  Homeopathy might count, but would prefer to hear about anyone treated with prescription meds for systemic yeast/fungal and what the results were favorable or unfavorable.

    Here's my experience

     

    Started out with a fever and muscle aches

     

    A few days later started wanting to go for a piss all the time and then eventually started pissing blood - that's when I checked into hospital

     

    The doc put me on 7 days of Nitrofurantoin and said I better get a cystoscopy and intravenous urogram since I could have cancer

     

    Symptoms of wanting to piss all the time and burning feeling dissapeared quickly after starting the Nitrofurantoin, checked out of hospital and went to see a urologist

     

    He did the prostate finger test and said my prostate was swollen plus he did the PSA test the result came back high - around 11

     

    He also said he didn't want to do the intravenous urogram or cystoscopy since they could lead to complications - infections etc. - so I did ann ultrasound instead - bladder looked OK but prostate was swollen

     

    He then put me on 2 weeks of Cravit - at type of fluoroquinolone

     

    Had no symptoms before I started the Cravit and felt fine until I started masturbating every day (no sex due to infection). After one week of masturbation and one day before medication finished noticed a dull pain in the tip of my penis

     

    Went to the doc again, didn't mentione dthe dull pain since it was something I'd had before (before it just went away after a day or two of drinking lots of water)

     

    Doc wanted me to do an extra 2 weeks of the fluoroquinolone but I declined since my Acillies tendon was really sore  - side effect of the fluoroquinolone. Also got my PSA est done and it was back down to 3.5

     

    I had stopped all alcohol, coffee, spicy foods, diary products since this whole thing started and started them again in moderation after the medication finished

     

    This time the dull pain, burning in tip of penis etc. didn't just go away as before and last night I noticed it was worse after I had a couple of beer

     

    Read all the really helpful comments on this post and decided to try the supplements, diet, cream

     

    Now starting cranberry extract, saw palmetto plus a couple of chinese ones for immune system; stopping all coffee, alcohol, spicy foods, dairy products plus applying a general fungicidal cream with 1% clotrimazole

     

    I'll try this for a few weeks and let you know

    Touch wood my symptoms seem to be going away -no buring at the tip, cramp/muscle ache in the middle, feeling of wanting to piss etc.

     

    I've been taking the Ganoderma, Cistanche, Cranberry Extract and Saw Palmetto for a week now. Plus I've been off the booze - well, just two small beers in a week, and totally off the coffee, dairy products and spicy foods.

     

    I was sitting here yesterday and suddenly realised I hand't thought about my meat and two veg for the first time in 6 weeks - what a relief!

     

    Going to continue with the program because I'm s**t scared it'll come back - you know what I mean

     

    I won't recommend this yet since it' still eaerly days but if I'm still good after another week I'll let you know

     

    I know it's hard to stay positive but I'm pretty sure it's a lifestyle thing - at least in my case - and stasying off the irritants and taking a few supplements can really help

    Update to my last post

     

    Things have calmed down a lot in the last month - when I go for a few days without alcohol and coffee I don't have any symptoms

     

    However, when I have a few beers or coffee I get the mild burning/aching feeling in the tip of my penis

     

    Now finished with most of the Chinese extracts and I've booked appointments with a Chinese doc and a Western doc to see what they say

     

    I read that once you get acute prostatitis (what I had) you need to take the antibiotics for at least 4 weeks otherwise there is a big risk it'll come back as chronic prostatitis - a milder form but much harder to get rid of

     

    I'm hoping this isn't the case - I took the antibioitcs for a total of 3 weeks (2 kinds) - I'm down to feeling OK without beers and coffee but I'm hoping I can get back to having the odd beer and coffee without any symptoms

     

    It seems that some people are more lucky than others - they can shake the problem in a relatively short time. At the other extreme some cannot get rid of it completely and have the symptoms for years - I guess that's partly because the reasons for getting prostatitis in the first place are so diverse and complicated that nobody seems to really know what's going on

    Just another update - 3 months after my infection

     

    Saw another docoter because was still experiencing mild aching/sometimes burning in my penis after 2.5 months

     

    Doctor did a 'DNA' urine test which is supposed to be a much more sensitive test for bacteria - negative, plus a urine flow test - normal except for slight retention of urine after urinating

     

    In the meantime, I went for 5 days with no symptoms whatsoever even though I was drinking alocohol/eating normally

     

    I think I am slowly recovering - it's sometimes hard to see because recovery is so slow

     

    Accroding to the second doctor it happens that after an episode of acute prostatitis the

    plumbing takes time to get back to normal so no need to take any medication

     

    Since I can see gradual improvement I will follow his advice

     

    On thing I would recommend is make sure your doctor actually tests for the presence of bacteria and even the specific type before prescribing drugs. The fact my first doc wanted to put me on a second 2 week course of fluroquinones without even testing me (it transpired I had no infection anymore) makes me think doctors who are lazy or have vested interests will prescribe drugs without thinking/testing

     

    All drugs have side effects and it's up to the patient to weigh up the risks but it just doesn't make sense for a doctor to prescribe me again a fluroquinone when a) I hadn't even been retested for the presence of bacteria and b) I already told the doc I experienced a adverse reaction (painful Achilles tendon) to the drug the first time I took it

    Another update

     

    In the few weeks since my last post I have definately seen a slow reduction in the burning/ithcing/aching feeling in my penis

     

    After having it more or less constantly following my acute prostatitis over three months ago it only came back when I got dehydrated from running and when drinking coffee - other stuff - booze, spicy food etc. has no adverse effect

     

    This weekend I had a big run and did not experience symptoms so that just leaves the coffee

     

    There's no scientific explanation I can find as to why I experienced these symptoms for so long after my acute prostatitis was cured - the only explanation is that my plumbing became highly sensitive after the infection and as someone else said takes a long time to fully recover since you've always got urine passing through the system that has been infected

     

    The thing I've learnt is that although this site has been really helpful it covers a big range of problems with a big range of potential solutions and the only way to get to the bottom of your own problem and hopefully fix it is to go and see the different specialists, get different tests done and try different cures

    My last update was October 2008. I got acute prostatitis in August 2008 and followed some antibiotics for 6 weeks plus a whole bunch of vitamins and diets and natural supplements after that

     

    Even one year later although all symptoms have almost 100% gone I still get moments every month or two where my penis has increased sensitivty even though I have no infection any more (as tested and confirmed by the doctor)

     

    Also, if I drink too much coffee I get increased sensitivity - spciy food and alcohol have no negative effect

     

    Even the doctor can't say why I would still have some lingering mild symptoms - my only layman explanation (maybe bullshit) is the area infected is so sensitive and difficult to heal due to the fact that urine is passing through all the time that it takes ages to recover

     

    I can say, touch wood, that I am lucky that I had acute prostatitis which has a good full recovery rate rather than chronic

     

    Although we're talking about a lot of different types of problems one thing I can share is that it takes a long, long time to recover and you just have to be patient which isn't easy because of the sensitivty of the area in question

    I've recently been having seriously urgent and continuous urination. I came down with a mild case of prostatius a few years ago after receiving oral sex from a girl I was seeing. Loads of antibiotics haven't done anything, but I've had good luck with a prostate formula called Q-Ural and lots of fish oil tablets, both of which have anti-inflammitory properties. I recently got back from a trip in which I drank like crazy and got very little sleep and I've now got symptoms again, but I hope that straightening out my diet will fix them. I'm on Flomax in the meantime and I have an appointment with the urologist on Monday.

    Hey,

     

    I have similar symtoms like all you guys. And all tests negativ. Im a docter and have read alot about this. I did 5 things that helped alot:

    1) stopped drinking coca cola light, because it contains sucralose for sweetning the coke. Read that sucralose can give more kidney stones. So small stones can be a cause and crystals can irritate, and that you will se in microscop. I saw crystals in mine that looked like caclium phosphate crystals look likes.

    2) Less masturbation and no sex. I have had burning sensation 3 times and my meatus was very red, two of the times after sex and once after masturbation for long time.

    3) Do any of you guys use a drug/medicine called Nebido? It a medicine if you do not produce testosterone. This drug contain and oil component and its maid of undecane(hendecane). This can irritate skin, in hence urethra and meatus when  body eliminates the "oil". I should have injected my new dose for 2 weeks a go, but I have not taken it, because I wanted to see if my meatus would get less red, and it has. So I will still not take this medicine for 4-6 weeks because it takes so long time for the body to get it out. Takes an injection every 10 weeks. And the redness started after I started with this medicine last fall.

    4) No alcohol. 

    5) After pieing I clean my penis so its not wet. Im in a way circumcised but not full. The foreskin dose not lie over meatus, so urine will after pieing lie there. Meatus can ofcourse get irritated by my underwear since this area is not protected by foreskin.

     

    All this things have made it better.

     

     

    Actually Im most interresting if you use the medicine Nebido. Its very new and after reading about undecane I think this is the problem. Have eposted the company, but havent reseved an answer, strange???

    Can anyone help, i am 29 and i am Uncircumcised and my foreskin does not retract during sex or its very very tight, and the tip of my penis is very sore to touch if i try to retract the foreskin.

    ive been having problems the last two years when the need to urintate especially if the tip of the penis is very red....always worse at night time, and after drinking......it can be terrible feeling in work also can be like a pinching feeling....i really cant go on like this. Doctors think im going mad and dont see any infection....went to a Urologists 2 months ago, i think he didnt glucose tests for diabetis, i havent heard anythng back....i found this below. I THINK THIS MIGHT BE MY PROBLEM.....but i dont want to be Circumcised. this is really effecting my life and relationship with g/f,

    ive tried every tablet you name it.....no joy now at this stage....like urinary etract....with saw pellota...even had that collidial silver spray and also

     

    i cant get unsweetened cranberry anyware so got cranberry with birch which was unsweetened, anyone know if this is ok? ive tried prostate tablets....ive tried anti inflamatory....is there anyone who uses Canestan cream that would recomment it? trying to order this online? im in Ireland.

    balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO, also termed lichen sclerosis): this condition primarily affects the foreskin, leading to loss of skin colouration, scarring and tightness of the foreskin, and phimosis (inability to pull the foreskin back behind the glans), which may require circumcision. Involvement of the opening of the urethra (urine tube) can lead to irritation and burning. Surgery might be needed to prevent a stricture (narrowing) in the urethra. Steroid creams may help the irritation but patients require long-term follow-up to prevent recurrence.

    I would say I am 99.9% cured. I think it was just an irritation of the Uretra and time is the healer.

     

    I never thought there was any hope but it took about 4 months to run its course and the body healed it on its own.

     

    The day will come that you are feeling better as well.

    An update of my condition. It started in March, I hurt the tip of my penis on the pubic hair of my girlfriend as she had stubble from shaving the prior week. I immediately knew something was wrong as it hurt so bad all weekend. Followed by a bad infection that crusted my underwear very badly. It was a constant dripping all day long. I had the dose of Doxy and it subsided and came back. Both my Girlfriend and I were treated again with Doxy as we were having unprotected sex at the time. The Doxy worked and the dripping did not return. All along I had the strong feeling to urinate and feeling like it was dripping at the tip all the time but was not. I also had pinching and shooting pains up the uretrhra that would make you have to sit down and take a rest. I was to the point of not knowing what to do and after 2 months of hell and being really scared it started to get better.

     

    Now here is the deal. My girlfriend turned out to have a yeast infection however that was not supposed to have affected me at all. I believe that in hurting myself it got infected and just took a very long time to heal. I have to tell you that I noticed the most progression after treating myself with CLOT CR + HYDERM 1% CR. It was prescribed by my doctor. My girlfriend treated herself with Canestan and I understand that the Medication cream my doctor prescribed to me is somewhat for the same thing.

     

    My belief is that the irritation was the issue and it took time to heal. Stay positive and keep a good healthy attitude and keep it as clean as possible. The urine is acidic and it is hard to heal in that type of environment so give it time.

     

    My symptoms are about 99% gone at this point and from the time it all started until now has been about 3 months. There is hope. 

     

    Just be positive...it will go away in time.

    You guys all have prosatitis. If it lasts for years the only cure is prostate removal

     

    i am 27 and i have had it for 5 years. I have been to china, newyork cali had prostate injections etc etc..   the illness can only be managed and not cured once it becomes chronic

     

    Doctors know very little about it and only give antibotics and alpha blockers. The nih has given up on funding this illness, becausze it is not deadly. There are clinical traials going on now by dr krongrad, who does robotic prostate surgery for prostatitis. This seems to be the only sure cure

     

    the only other solution is try to put up with your symptoms or find a herb or drug that gives you temp relief.

     

    doctors can not treat this illness,  if you have had this problem for over a year, stop wasting your time with doctors

     

    there is a doctor in cali named dr bahn, he will inject steroids into the gland, this gives people relief for a few months, then u must return for more...

     

    Prostatitis people, google it, or join a prostatitis forum..

    Hi all

    I am 28 healthy male,

    After having unprotected sex with my girlfriend I started having burning sensation at the tip of my pines, only when I drink alcohol or run. I went and got tested for all STDs, everything came back negative, I was treated  with metronidazole , because my Dr suspected I had trichomoniasis, but did not help.

    I have a PhD in microbiology, so I know my bugs.  I so I did my own research , after a week of reading publications on the issue I conclude that I had either Mycoplasma genitalium, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma parvum or Ureaplasma urealyticum.  I check for treatments then I told my Dr what I thought, I was treated with 1g in a single dose of azithromycin, waited 4 day then started with  400mg moxifloxacin for ten days. I am on day 4 of  moxifloxacin, but my symptoms went away 3 days after the azithromycin.  I just want to note that although the CDC recommends using  1g in a single dose of azithromycin, this treatment only works for 72-95% of men.  That's why I am taking moxifloxacin just to be sure I eradicate the infection.

    I thought I will let you know this, also note that most MD's don't believe that myco or ureaplasma can cause urethritis, this is because these infections are emerging and are still under the radar,  also there is no good test for them. My advice is keep seeing your Drs, inform them about this possibility, practice safe sex, and most importantly if you spread the word so that other people can know.

    Cheers

    First of all, i want to thank you for this forum, it is really important to have a community like this to exchange knowlodge, about something so important and difficult to deal with.

    I will try to go to the core of what is my situation.
    1- my fist problem with the urinal sistem occured when i was about 14. For some reason, i started to feel insecure about having to go to pee in inapropriate moments (ex. middle of classes). I think this fear started when i had to go to pee in the middle of some scout reunion. for some reason i started to have the fear of this to happen to me again, becouse i saw that as a sign of weakness (that i could not control that to happen). So i started to have that fear in my mind constantly. For that, i think i started to be more tense at the pelvic area.. etc.. I also remember one day, when i was a still a kid that i was more anxious that usual, (also in scouts), and that created in my body the need to go to pee, the same feeling would presist, even if i had no urine in my bladder...

    2-I never discussed that problem with others, and i also allways tried to conquer that scary felling alone, what made it feel even bigger. Later on, im not sure if after doing BTT (cicling), anal sex, or even too much tension on the area (phycologicaly) i started to feel that was also something physycal going on. Some disconfort.

    3- being exausted, i decided to see an urologist. After that one. I saw another 2 or 3. I took in about 4 years. As far as i remember: Bactrim , Tarivind and Nimesulina. I felt good for some months, specially with Bactrim and Tarivid. However the sympthoms allways returned.
    The last time, i think the sympthoms returned after oral or just unprotected sex. (by the way... these uretheral disconfort also effect my sexual performance, make my ejaculation much more discontroled). I tried to control my symptoms, avoiding alchool, spicy food (really afects), no masturbation, what helped. however, when i try to have some fun, and relax, drinking a beer. The sympthoms return. Thats what happened now (2 days ago). They return stronger. I feel i cant have fun this way. I go to the bathroom to pee, and i know i have to return soon. because im not feelling any relief, and the pee just keeps appearing (why?).
    Today i went to the emergencies bacouse i dont have a doctor in uk, and he made the urine test, no bacteria, and thats it. He told me he cant describe nothing. Again he told to drink water. and take ibuprofen... what make me feel really frustrated. I just want something to take this anoing feeling away... i want to live my life... without having to feel insecure about sex, without have to think to pee before enter a car for example... im just 24...

    4- As it is normal... its very tiering, specially, when you went to doctors, you felt well, you tought your nigthmare as passed. Then one day, there we go again... and the pain and disconfort, look even stronger...

    5- As far as i read, you have allready some experience at this matter, what do you suggest me to do? I need to do the right steps, because i have probably been playing with my health all this time, and now im suffering the consequences. Or maybe its just a bacteria that its not detected and can be taken out with the right antibiotic.

    many thanks,
    hope

    In my opinion you need to find out if the problem is caused by an infection or not

     

    From what I understand PSA testing can tell if the prostate if inflamed and therefore maybe infected. Also, the newer kind of 'DNA' urine testing is more effective in detecting bacteria

     

    A infection would then be treated with the appropriate antibiotic

     

    Otherwise, if no infection is present then a uroflow test can determine if a) your urine flow is normal and b) if you fully evacuate when you urinate

     

    If not then this could indicate some kind of muscular disorder such as when muscles are not coordinated and could be treated with alpha blockers

     

     

    This has been my experience which started with a case of acute protstatitis and finished with some muscluar disorder which grdaually got better over 3 months but obivously your case is different

     

    What I can say is that often  you need to go through a lot of testing and see a lot of different doctors until you find the reason - that means you need a lot of patience, time and money. It's easy to say but you have to stay positive and keep looking for a solution - I know there are some cases that cannot be resolved but there are a lot more that can

     

    Good luck

    Hi everyone, I had chronic pain in the head of my penis for roughly a year and a half before I found my cure.  It all began almost immediately after recieving rough oral sex from a girl.  Before I tell ya what finally cured me let me first inform you of all the shit that did not work (so you realize you aren't the only one you has tied "everything").  I used every cream imaginable (including white vinegar and monistat) as well as every antibodic produced by man (levaquin, Omoxycilin, Z-pack, just to name a few).  I went to numerous dermaologist and urologist all of which told me there was nothing wrong with me, but there clearly was.  Finally I can across this site and read about cranberry extract and prostate wellness pill.  I know what you are thinking "there is no way after all I have been through that some pills I can buy at Wal-Mart will cure me."  Well I am living proof that a combo of these two pills MAY cure you.  There is no doubt that people in this forum are suffering from different problems, but if I can help even one person cure the same problem I went through then this is more than worth my time.  I have other posts from when I was suffereing from this disease under atwitsend (please refer to them to compare your situation with mine)earlier in this forum.  My most recent one procliams that I was cured for two weeks, well I am hear to inform you that my sympotms NEVER RETURNED.  Please at least try my recommendation, it may very well change your life just as it did mine.

     

    Keep up hope

    My pain comes from directly inside the urethra opening D:. It is very painful to urinate but I do not need to urinate more than regular. I am too young to have gotten from sexual intercourse of activity related such as lap dances. At 15 years this is interfering with running Cross Country and also is painful to go to the bathroom. Problem seems to have come from nothing due to almost every day being identical to the previous and the next. I would rather not have to go to the physicians office and have my genitals probed.

    Im getting better been to the doctor twice, said nothing was wrong except enlarged prostate. been on antibiotics for 6 weeks it still comes and goes. did a ph test and my body was acidic. Most of the foods and drinks we intake are acidic. Been drinking lemon water and stayed away from certain foods and what a difference. (I know lemons are acidic but there is a chemical reaction in the body that makes them very alkiline and my ph level has stabilized 7.5 i drink it every day and wow what a differance dont use the rines they are full of pesticides. Watermelons are very Alkiline too)Burning on meatus I use hydrocortizone 1% around the edge and growing up  in a german houshold we used Aloe vera on everything. I own a aloe vera plant and break off a  leaf or spine and put it on the tip instant relief. If you cant find a plant try and find 100% in the store. The doctors are clueless and i think lazy all my tests came back negative but the still stuck me on the old stand by antibiotics, Im afraid its something im going to have to manage. I will check back in a couple of days

    Hello all,

    I've got similar pains, but mine are a bit different.  Has anyone had this show up very slowly?  I don't have urination pains.  Below's my run down.

    received fellatio from csw.  condom came off during the event.  Don't know how.  She was forceful.  3 days later-tingling on scrotum.  7 days-small bumps on shaft.  skin on penis loose and some sort of fluid deep in there. That went away quickly. Then Burning on scrotum and penis. then head of penis skin flaked off. 3 more weeks -my scrotum turns red and irritated and starts to burn.   burning continues and spreads in the folds of my skin (thighs).  my entire scrotum and penis burn.    
    6 months later -arms, chest, back and face broken out in what appears to be folliculitis -very oily.  bumps that crust over on my scalp.  forehead-skin colored bumps.  penis and scrotum skin are very thin. neck lymph nodes swollen.  little energy.  
    8 months later- throat is sore with little bumps and there is a whitish coating on my tongue. moistness in the groin area. going on a year now.  
    was told by doctors that this was not transmissible-have since passed this on to friend.  same symptoms, with without burning groin. I can only assume that this is strictly orally transmitted. I've been tested for and all negative all STDs,Staph/strep
    Yeast, Bacteria in urine,Scrotal ultrasound,prostate exam,Kidney CT,treated for fungal/yeast.  Creams have made it worse.   I've tried various anti-biotics: Ketoconazole,cephalexin, Doxycycline, Valtrex, azithromycin, Metronidazole pills, flagyl, bactrim ds Seen Dermatologists, Primary Care, Urologists, and Infectious Disease Docotor I know that this is an infection of some sort.  I just don't know what.  And no doctors have been able to figure it out thus far.  Please let me know your thoughts.
    What tests should I take to rule things out?  
    What type of infection could it possibly be?
    And could it be just an uncommon virus that is not documented?  
    I know that some viruses last forever.  And some last a few weeks.  Are there viruses that last for months/years and then go away?

    Anyone have any suggestions?  Anyone have anything similar to me.

     

    I didn't consider it to be a prostate issue at first, since I had no buring w/ urination and still don't.  But now I think that it could be a possiblitly.  Just no one's had the whole burning scrotum thing on here that I have had.  It feels like my balls are on fire all the time.  But the head of my penis burns as well and is red and irritated.  Anyone have anything similar to me?

    Hi Uptown, 

     

    I too have the burning on the scrotum and at the top of my penis, i also feel my stomach is swollen too. ive had so many symtoms i have lost track.

    I have also noticed that when other women where we have just snogged they have avoided me the next day....its a terrible feeling because doctors say there is nothing wrong with me. I too have had all the STD tests and it showed negative.....

    I can be in a lot more pain after out for a night drinking. Ive been taking prostate tablets and Cranberry extract tablets. I have had this problem years now and still no joy....i have white spots all over the penis and scrotum, sometimes spots are red on the scrtom.I usually eat spicy food and after it i always feel my stomach is full of acid, so i have cut down on this. My doctor keeps telling me to drink plenty of water.Doctor always testing me for Kidney infection....im so sick of going to the doctors and spending so much money on them and anti-biotics that do nothing.

    I feel like my life is on hold the last few years, i would love to live a normal life. I envy friends who can live a normal life.

    I feel exactly the same.  I totally feel like my life is on hold.  I can't seem to get it together.  I try, but all I can think about is how incredibly stupid I was.  And how my life would have turned out great if it weren't for this.  I used to be a happy smart person.  Now I feel like a stupid zombie.  I can't even formulate sentences properly anymore or have normal conversations.  It's hard to live like this.  When you have a constant pain.  I feel like i'd have some  sort of closure to this if I at least knew what I have.  Even if I knew it was here to stay.  At this point I don't know what I'm dealing with.  I don't know if it's prostate related.  Or just dermal.  Or systemic.  I don't know if the bumps on my face and chest are related or just reacations to medications.  I don't know if all the creams i've used have made things worse or not  It's just crazy that I can't find an answer to anything.  I've realized that every doctor I've seen is just guessing, which is no better than what I'm doing.  They're no more knowledgeable than myself at this point which is pretty scary.  My body hates me now, that I know.  Everythings a shot in the dark.  If I try this will it make things worse, the same, better?  There's no way for me to know.  I feel like my life has become a bad after school special.

    I know the advice above of cutting out "toxins" etc. sounds like hippy BS that you'd hear from any pot-smoking "alternative medicine" shop, but in this case it is actually true!

     

    There's one thing you have to accept before this can be cured - half of it is mental, as in a self-induced anxiety. Yes, there's a problem, but you are exacerbating it heavily by constant self-examination and impatience.

     

    The key is anti-biotics to solve a spectrum of possibilities (not everyone on this thread has the same thing!). Listen to your doctor - if he/she says its a minor prostate infection, then take the drugs, but drugs alone aren't a surefire thing.

     

    You need to do three things.

     

    * Drink water like nobodies business.

     

    * Avoid obviously ridiculous foods and drinks (this isn't an STD, so what else is it going to be? Think about it! It's a urinary tract problem or a gut problem - both are effected completely by intake of food and drink! I'm not a nature-loving moron, and I love my curries, but you have to recover somehow so lay off!)

     

    * Possibly most important - stop touching it! Stop rigorous masturbation perhaps!? Use a hydrocortisone like you would on any swelling, just because its the penis doesn't mean thats not a valid possible solution.

     

    The brain plays a big part in this - I have a friend who was convinced she had heart disease because she had chest pain and could feel her own heart beat. It was, simply, purely mentally stimulated anxiety.

     

    Last thing. Some of you here will have urethritis, or prostatitis, or something like Reiter's Syndrome. Some of you will have simply injured the tip of your penis and repeatedly reinjure it by prodding and poking. Others, I'm afraid, will have absolutely nothing wrong other than a mental obsession with a dodgy sex session and anxiety over what may have resulted (despite being told, repeatedly in some instances, that it ISN'T an STD!!!)

     

    Just give your body the best chance to recover, whilst listening to medical advice and taking prescribed medicines and advice.

     

    Last thing - Aloe Vera... ignore, it isn't a miracle-worker. It soothes but doesn't cure. Now that IS hippy BS.

    I had a bad UTI back in April 2008, I had to pee so many times in 3 days it was so bad. I took antibiotics and the urge to urinate went away. But since that day I have always had the feeling to pee. The tip of the urethra was always bothering me so when I had the chance to go pee I did. Somedays it was like 22 or 23 times I had to push out pee just because I had the feeling. I went to a urologist, got blood work done, cystoscopy, medication (Detrol LA) and I still feel the same. Always got that feeling to pee. My family doctor say I'm fine, the urologist says I'm fine. They couldn't find anything wrong with me. They don't know why I have this feeling. It is really bothersome for work,  I drive a bus. As you know there is nowhere to go if I really need to go. My doctor suggested only drink water, nothing else. No pop, alcohol, coffee, juice, just water and I am back on the Detrol LA meds for 2 weeks. If this doesn't help, I have fear that I am stuck with this for the rest of my life and this will make me change my lifestyle, work, etc.

    Is there anything else I can do??? Thanks

    SAME EXACT PROBLEM

    Hey guys.  24 years old here.  Same problems for over 2 years now.  I have researched this problem on the internet and there are literally TONS of guys with these same exact symptons with no diagnosis.  I just find it hard to believe that with as advanced as medicine is today, no doctor has any REAL answers.  I have been to several urologists.  Have had a cytoscopy done, urodynamics done, urine cultures done, std tests, blood tests with all leading to nothing but large medical bills.  Every doctor says the same thing, they'res nothing wrong with me and I just have to live with it.  I think that is total bull, because obviously this many men can't be IMAGINING all this or something.  I just think doctors don't care, and I am really sick of paying medical bills and not getting any answers.  Things that seem to help a little are hot showers/baths, anti-inflammatorys, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, avoiding masterbation, drinking plenty of water, and taking cranberry pills.  Like I said, all these things seem to help a little but are no means a cure.  I just hope somebody figures out what this is and how to fix it before I seriously lose my mind.  I don't know what's worse, the actual symptons, or the major anxiety and depression that goes with it.  Anyway, just wanted to put my 2 cents in.  Hope this helps a little.  All I can say is don't give up people, this many guys can't be wrong.  There is SOMETHING wrong with us.  Best of luck to all.  Feel free to email.

    I also forgot to mention that I have tried, flomax for prostatitis with nothing but side effects, and several antibiotics including Doxycycline and Ciproflaxin.  Does anybodys pain seem to be worse when they sit or lay down?  I read on a website today that a possibilty exists that the problem resides in the lower back.  A guy recommended seeing a chiropractor because it seem to make his symptons improve dramatically.  Just a thought.

    Hi Everyone

     

    I have had similar symptoms since January 2009. I'm 27 and generally fit and healthy. It all started when I was on holiday in the UK. I noticed this redness around the opening of my urethra. I had never seen it before but within a couple days it had this uncomfortable tingling sensation. A few days before I acquired quite severe low back pain, which I now know is more like pelvic floor pain. I continued to have this pain until I took some anti-inflammatorys. However, this pain still comes and goes. As for the pain on tip of my penis that went a few months ago but the redness still resides. My pain is now lower in my urethra and it is more of a sensation than a pain.

     

    Here is a run down of my diagnosis and treatment.

    Dr 1:Balanitis - apply Bactoban cream.

    Dr 2:Balanitis - since cream didn't work I was prescribed some anti-biotics.

    Dr 3:Fungal infection - Clonea cream.

    Dr 4:STD - DR had no idea which one. I was tested and had negative results.

    Dr 5:This is nothing - it is just stress said the Dr.

    Dr 6:Infection - I took two courses. One was doxycycline and there was another one but I can't remember its name. Both gave me shocking diarroea amongst other things for about 3 weeks. I also took hydrocortisone cream which is ear ointment. It caused more pain.

    Dr 7: Referred me to a urologist but suggested I take cranberry pills. They didn't work.

    Dr 8: Waited months to see urologist but when I saw him he said he didn't know what was wrong with me but the problem could be a rash. He suggested nappy rash cream. It didn't work as expected.

    Dr 9: Returned to urologist and organised a cystocopy to investigate my urethra. Nothing found. No inflammation or any sort identified.

     

    I later had sessions of colonic hydrotherapy to cleanse my insides in case I had an acidic environment. I also took milk thistle to cleanse my liver. I went to see a naturopath who prescribed me herbs and other supplements. Nothing seemed to help there.

     

    Things have have helped/Things to avoid:

    I have recently took saw palmetto which I think has lowered the pain. Long hot showers have been good. Stress has made the pain worse so avoid it. I was in the most pain when my boyfriend ended our relationship out of the blue. Sitting for long periods of time doesn't help but walking is fine. Sometimes I wonder if my long haul flight from Aus to the UK brought this on. Exercise helps.

     

    I have tried to modify diet and I am still unsure whether spicy foods make it worse or not. I avoid them anyway but stay away from coffee. Tea has been fine. Alcohol has sometimes but not always made it worse.

     

    Big Help

    After further research I have been to see a chiropractor and a trigger point therapist. I read this website. I recommend you check it out.

     

    http://www.chronicprostatitis.com/myoneuropathy.html

     

    I have had several sessions with the chiropractor and a trigger point therapist. It has helped me greatly, especially the the massages from the therapist. I believe the problem is caused by tense muscles that need releasing. I do think my pelvic pain is linked to my urethral pain. This is called referred pain.

     

    I am going to continue having trigger point therapy until the pain has gone. There has been times where it has gone almost completely for a week and then returned but then gone again so I do think this is the way to go for me.

     

    Final Comments

    Don't keep looking at your penis as it will only stress you out still noticing your problem.

    Reduce masturbation as this can make it worse.

    Try to not focus your energy on it as it will make you ill.

    It may take a long time for you to recover. Be patient.

    Sometimes I need to go to the toilet (to pee) frequently but this may be once ever three weeks or so. When this happens I get a pain sensation at the tip of my penis which is released I have I have been. I don't understand this?

     

    Any questions just ask and good luck.

     

    Thanks.

    My last post was around a month ago and here's the latest

     

    My problem goes all the way back to a clear cut bout of acute protstatitis in mid July

     

    After the worst symptoms cleared up following two courses of different anitbiotics I had mild symptoms of sensitivty/itching/aching in my penis

     

    My doctor at that time asked me to take a third course of antibiotics without testing and luckily a friend recommended another doctor who took a more scientific approach and tested me for bacteria, PSA and urineflow, all came back negative/within the normal limits so he basically just tol me to calm down

     

    I noticed the symptoms gradually weakening but there do seem to be some type of mild relapses - the latest relapse prompted me to go back again to the new doctor who again tested me and found no infection. His position being that yes sometimes infection can return after acute prostatitis but not in my case

     

    It's like I'm panicking because I can see little or no progress and the doc just tells me to cool it and I have to say that I continue to see progress with longer periods with no symptoms and less and less adverse reaction to the irritants - coffee, alcohol etc.

     

    The good thing about this web site is we can share experiences but the bad thing is we can get mixed up since in reality we are talking about a big range of different problems - I would suggest to use this as a way to do some background research but always go and see the doctor and get a second opinion. This  is also important because the affected area is so sensitive, not only physically but psychologically that I think it is extra hard to separate the facts from the speculation - I know it was hard for me

     

    The final word from the doc is that once you have had a problem in this area it can take a long, long time to get back to normal and in my case I just need to stay calm, avoid the irritants or just try  them occassionally to see if they still have an adverse effect and test from time to time to make sure no infection has returned

    dear sir


    i wrote a note at this site below. this details might help u. but u got to follow them

    i notice u said u like drinking and spicy food. this are the stuff that will burn your meatus(penis).

     

    eat a very healthy diet and thebody will start working for u . somethings u got just do it. have Faith some things work out. but we have to make changes.

     

    Good luck :)

    below is a mail i wrote at this site:)

     

     

    i realised u mentioned u r sweet tooth and smoke and drink
    try not doing all that. a redness at the opening did come to me just becasue i started back VERY VERY VERY light smokeinng and drinking.
    fungus grows wild on sugar
    so cut out the sugar and carbs and no spicy food
    no white bread or milk.
    wash ur self with no soap. try kitchen salt in water ( till it taste like salt water)
    use clitomozale ( dont know how to spell it - candida cream) for 2 weeks. put it in THE URETHRA! PUT IT IN .NOT JUST OUTSIDE. 3 times a day
    drink lots of lots of water. no citrusfruits beaucse it will irritate u. put some lemon juice  in warm water. drink lots lots lots of warm water. to clear ur alkiline.
    it could be balanitis in my opninon.
    and keep away sex. a normal soft handjob every 3 days to remove the toxins or anything in u.
    try it. my symptoms improved. but im still on it coz i had too much sugar drinks. and i believe it cameback.
    after showers pull skin backward and let it dry for ten mins. through out the day pull the skin backwards and give it some air.
    do not use petroleum ointment like gels or vaseline. it will block the pores of the penis.
    good luck.

    For the past 3 months after having rough sex, I had noticed a few things were wrong.

    - uncomfortable/dull pain coming from the shaft of my penis.

    - a slight stinging sensation coming from the head, wheneve I would need to urinate.

    - sometimes a cold tingle coming from the opening of the urethra.

    - discomfort in genital region

    - Have been tested twice for every std under the sun, only to have them show up negative. (thank God)

    All of which were never above a 3 on a scale from 1-10

     

    I read a post by Atwitsend about saw palmetto, and how it worked for him. Well... For the past 3 weeks  I have been taking the stuff 2 pills twice daily and cranberry concentrated in pill form once daily. Cut back on the masturation, and have been dranking plenty of water.

     

    For the past week I have noticed is that it feels so good to pee, and I can actually hold it without feeling terribly uncomfortable. This stuff is working for me, and I recommend that if you are feeling the same symptoms as I then try it,

    its me again, this is hell im tired of going to the doctor and them telling me nothings wrong but still prescribing me antibiotics. its all about the money not the cure. So i went to get  acupuncture from a master chineese practionar and wow what a differance. he treats the person along with the symptoms. From what ive read most of the problems are stress related and drugs just make the problem worse.Ive changed my diet i eat nothing processed, like Jack lalane says if man made it dont eat it. ive seen major improvements. its probably going to take time for it to be cured since it probably took years to develop. Dont drink tap water its not safe and full of toxins.

    I know there will be people who say hokus pokus, tree hugger, but if you think about it  we are all toxic, we are all nutrient deficient, we all have stress, and we are all surrounded by electronic chaos. this is just my opionion i am not a doctor just some one who is suffering with this problem searching for answers

    My boyfriend has been having similiar issues. 

     

    The opening of his penis is, as seems to be the case with all of you, red and irritated.  Everytime he goes to the bathroom, whether it's to pee or release his boules, he always has to pee.  Accompanying the pee, is usually a lot of pain and discomfort.

     

    Also, in his groin area, on his left side, there's a small bump. 

     

    Regardless if he's peeing or just sitting on the couch, he usually feels pain within 10 minutes..

     

    I told him to go see a doctor, but I think he's afraid to.  He keeps making excuses with me.  So, I don't know what to do for him.

    You gotta get him to go just for the simple fact if its something more serious with him.  Yes it is very embarrassing but it has to be done for his and your sake.  Plus a lot of us don't have and kind of lump.

    Has anyone else tried a drug called Neurontin (generic Gabapentin) for this? I have had similar problems on and off for years. Anyway, I got on it and it really helped for like 5 months. Now I'm having pain in urethra and don't know if it just wore off or what. It feels like a stricture (a lump in the urethra) but I've had three cystoscopies, physical therapy and everything, all clear and to no avail.

    I think what some people might have on here is Trichomoniasis.

     

    Trichomoniasis is a common sexually transmitted disease (STD) that affects both women and men, although symptoms are more common in women.

     

    The urethra (urine canal) is the most common site of infection in men

    Most men with trichomoniasis have an irritation inside the penis, mild discharge, or slight burning after urination or ejaculation.

     

    The parasite is harder to detect in men than in women and this STD is not of the STD's that is checked when you go for a regular STD test.

    well after reading all of these problems all I can say is if you have any thing that looks like a bump inside the urethra opening get it checked by doing a biopsy as I went to the urologist 4 x till they biopsied it and it turned out to be squamous cell carcinoma a type of skin cancer. it started out as a redding of the penis tip and it looked like a lump inside the opening they did not know what it was they tried antibiotics ,cream and finally after 3 months they biopsied it and found it . It is rare and no studies have really been done on it as it is 1 in 100,000 men get it but I just thought i would pass it on as it is a situ type cancer but it can get worse.and there can be more than one growth at same area.

    hi

    in mid december i had unprotected anal sex with a friend. not long after that I developed what I now know was an NGU (Non-Gonoccocal Urethritis). This means it didnt show up on any test that various doctors that I went to did.

    i thought that perhaps i was stressing out about having unprotected sex ( as this is a rule that i nearly live up to - but obviously not 100% )..... that said, I left doing anything about it for some time....anyway once i did do something all test came back negitive and so at that point i really began to think it was all in my head - these funny feelings - indescrible weirdness in my lower abdomen and a feeling that came about 10 minutes after urinating... strange but difficult to discribe. my penis felt cold.. maybe a circulation thing?... i also had thrush under my foreskin that would not clear up and in the beginning a little clear discharge ( like pre cum ) so on it went until the doctor finally gave me diflucan ( a tablet for fungal infections ). This didnt work. Then she gave me a 2 pill ( 2 x 500 mg ) amoxicllian antibiotic bomb. Unfortunately this didnt seem to work either. After that I had an 8 day course of 3 x 825 mg amoxicillan per day. That has just finished 2 days ago.

    During the last 2 weeks i have also cleaned up my act. After reading this forum and taking to heart all that has been written here about diet I decided to be good to myself and give myself a chance to heal. fresh veg raw salad - no coffee, alcohol, smoking...lots and lots of water. I took a multi vitamin each day but no pro biotics or other supplements.

     

    I can report that I feel a lot better. I believe I had an NGU ( baterial infection ). That along with a christmas/new year binge of partying left me run down.

     

    I also belie there is scarring of the Urethra in these cases and I am still feeling some strange feelings after urinating but I think it's either this scarring or a kind of nerve memory that continues.... not sure. i do feel better - which is GREAT

     

    so

    eat better - stop drinking, smoking and drink lots of water - you will feel much better

    squeeze a lemon in water every morning.... sometimes it is the most obvious things..

     

    I would like to thank who ever it was on here that wrote whatever infection we have think of it like a bad flu..... you would not keep partying if you had a bad flu - you would rest and be good to yourself - giving your body time to recover - This is the most important thing I read on this forum

     

    thanksWink

    Guys, don't worry!

     

    I had the same symptoms and worries for a month. It started from having a crazy threesome with some strangers, and we did many many things, but all penetrations were protected.  After all the tests negative and several doctor consultations, I did take the chance of trying it as an inflammation.  So I took 2 tylenol (regular) pills 3 times a day (for a week only), stop COMPLETELY masturbating for 2 weeks and every day drank like 4 glasses of cranberry juice.

     

    Today, It's been 2 weeks since then, and I feel perfect. Not a single pain at all. The tip of the urethra is red, but only on the inside, and when I have high blood pressure, but I think that will go with the time, or... heck! maybe it's normal and we all never noticed before (inside, not the outside redness that was killing me).

     

    I just came back here to let everyone know. Don't worry!

    Problem RESOLVED (Irritated Urethra &amp; Penis Tip Redness)
    Pato
    Sunday, April 05, 2009 at 08:11 PM

    I have posted here several times over the last year or so under this name, Pato.  I think that my problem was either herpes 1 (the cold sore on the lips one) or HPV.  I tried everything and nothing worked. Finally, it is gone.

     

    I recommend that you get tested for everything possible, including herpes 2 blood test.  If you are positive for something, congratulations because you will know what it is.  If not, you likely have herpes 1 or possibly HPV.  Many of you had symptoms commence after oral sex, hence the herpes 1.  Also know that these are two things that are often missed.  There is no test for HPV for men.  I'm not sure about herpes 1 but no one ever mentioned it to me and I saw 4 urologists, a dermatolagist and an STD clinic.  I figured it out on my own after a short relapse a few weeks ago following oral sex from my girlfriend who had a small cold sore.  I was irritated for a couple of days only (as opposed to 1 full year last time).

     

    Good luck guys.  There is hope.  I was almost at the end of my rope but it SLOWLY went away and today I am fine.

    The only thing that helped me was TIME -- and believe me I tried EVERYTHING:  Four urologists, a dermatologist, STD clinic; STD tests; Yeast treatment; Psoriasis treatment; lots of different antibiotics; abstinence from caffeine, spicy foods, alcohol, ejaculation; abundance of ejaculation.

     

    NONE of the above helped me at all.  That's why I believe that it's HPV or herpes 1.  There is pretty much nothing else.  These are the things which are neither testable nor treatable, but your body will eventually fight them off.  It took me an entire YEAR of very slow improvement.

     

    Good luck, I hope you improve.

    I noticed urethra pain when I masturbate several months ago, it would hurt for several hours after,but some aspirin always took care of it then, I got a bad case of bronchitis and the doctor gave me anti biotic which then cause a yeast infection. I saw a new doc who gave me more anti biotic,which did nothing then she gave me a yeast infection med,which you can actually buy online without a script, anyway, that seemed to eliminate the problem but then it came back.  I don't know if I have another yeast infection or scaring from the first one. I am going to lay off the sugar and am taking saw palmetto and cranberry pills.  I read a study by Stanford University that in 90% of the cases of urethra pain that it was unrelated to infection but to the nerve that runs throughout the prostate and into the penis, it's called a pelvic head-ache and it's caused by stress I linked the site here for anyone to read. Also, here is my hotmail address for anyone who want to contact me, feel free to I.M. me also.

    To help sooth the pain, go out and buy somehting called Azo. It is specifically mad for this problem and it does help, get the extr strengh, it's less than five bucks and I took only one a day,although you can take two. It lasts about 2 weeks so for ten bucks you can have some real relief.  AZO!

    I found this on the internet and have been reading it like a bible!  As soon as I got some incite on some suggestions I put my gear on and went to the store... As you may know. There's nothing out here. And their actual cranberry juice is a joke. I've had a lot of similar symptoms and what not. Tip of penis is red/sore/and swollen(not a lot) It burns when I pee every once in a while. I pee every 15 min. The "lips" of the tip seem to be swollen. And I do dribble after I pee. Even after I "milk the cow" and shake it'll still leak. Every so often it'll feel as if i'm getting a prince albert piercing. It's really frustrating seemings how I work 15-17hrs a day 7 days a week. I don't get to sleep alot and medical is a joke. I got all the tests and stuff and they gave me a bunch of meds. Its so freaking frustrating, I almost want to suck on my rifle and squeeze the trigger(not that serious) There's not even Aleve or cranberry extract here in the stores. The only thing they do have here is a lot of water, neosporin, and ibuprophen. I just want all this to go away.I did take note of the caff. and what to eat and drink. Obviously I can't enjoy a beer, but I would like to when I get back to the states.

     

    If anyone can help me out I will re-pay you when I get to the states. I would just like to do my job out here with as less stress as possible. Its hard enough loosing friends.

    Hey devil dog.... there could be a couple things going on here, you could have a yeast infection, which means you better lay off any sweets or it will get worse and lay off the coffee too.  Stanford Medical Institute states that in 80% of the cases that pain in the urethra for men is nerve related do to extreme illness or stress, The nerve runs at the base of the penis and to the tip causing pain,burning and irritability.  I found that a analgesic called Cystex helped me shitloads, and if you have a bacterial or yest infection it will help get rid of it because it has an antibiotic that keeps the bacteria or yeast from clinging to the wall of the baldder. Dont worry as I have been told these infections don't spread to the kidneys and generally go away after about 2-3 months, its hell I know. The Cystex was a god send man, let me know if you can get some, tell your family or friends to send you some,shitloads, it's cheap as hell, they can get it at any pharmecy,  and if not, man I'll send you some.

  60. I Found Some Things Which I Think Could Help.
    Andrea
    Saturday, June 13, 2009 at 10:40 AM

    I have been working to get rid of this problem since December 2008, and I tried several methods which did not work out too well for me but which taught me a lot. Therefore I decided to take what I felt was helpful and dropped what did not work for me. And I added a few others that I have found in my search which seem very promising. 

    I am very grateful that this website exists and that so many are contributing and sharing their experiences with this problem. I have read all of the posts here, and I have been searching also to work out some plan of action which could work to overcome this problem completely.

    I also decided that I had to not see myself as a victim, because if one sees themselves as a victim then nothing will get better. And I decided to see this in a manner that would help me, so I decided to see this as an opportunity to overcome this present limitation. Its been pointed out already that our minds and our thoughts play a major part in our ability to heal, and most might find just how important that idea is by checking out the following website. Do it, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn how much power we really have with us all the time.
    http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm

    With the opportunity of this website and by this joining of our minds I am certain that we can find out what we can do to be rid of these problems and soon will function normally again.

    I also have found as many others have written, that any alcohol use is very painful and  irritating, and also any vinegar because of its acidity, it also causes a painful reaction. Even vitamin C gives me some pain, but I continue to take that because of all the good it also does. I take it with MSM powder.

    And I have also read that with urinary and prostate problems one should not eat any spices.
    I thought about that, and wondered what is really meant by spices, and realized that in my experience some of the most helpful items that I have researched that have been used to heal many health problems are herbs and spices. Some of the best information on their uses comes from their historical use in India and China, which with over 6,000 years of their history as the  two oldest cultures on this planet, so they would know a lot about their uses.

    Tumeric, cumin, ginger and garlic I use now everyday in salads and foods, and get no bad reaction from at all; these are some good and powerful spices and herbs that I have included in my list of items that I use to overcome this problem. I will list them all later in this post.

    I think that unless one can kill the microbes that cause these problems quickly, one will then have to deal with the damage of the tissues that the microbes began to damage as soon as they entered the body. And they can enter in many ways, and not always from sex.

    The pain inside of the urethra especially when urinating, I have decided to think of that as similar to any damaged tissue like from a serious burn. Remembering that anything touching to a burned area of skin will feel extremely painful until that tissue is repaired and restored to normalcy. Especially if touched by any alcohol or acid like substance such as vinegar. So its going to take some time to heal, but with the right items to help it, it should not take too long.

    Luckily normal urine has strong healing abilities. It is used all over the world in skin products, and many cultures even drink it because of its healthful effects. Do a search on urine therapy if you do not believe me.

    Another thing I have been using recently is MSM lotion, and I put it all over my penis, and below the area where the prostate gland is. That will enter the skin and is reported to be extremely helpful.
    I have listened to a talk by a man who was severely burned in a car accident and for over ten years he was always in pain and handicapped from that experience. At some point someone suggested to him to try the MSM lotion to see if it would help him. He put it on every day and it apparently began to repair all the damaged tissue with newly made tissue, and at the time he was giving his talk he said he had no pain any longer, and had been completely restored to a normal state. He said he also took the MSM powder every day. I believe he was honest about what he was saying. This is also well worth checking out, since none of this that I am sharing cost very much money, and one can order it right over the internet. Read what it says about it and maybe you might want to try it too.

    To keep my body and especially my urine more alkaline I take a cup of warm water with baking soda several times a day. And I also drink warm water through out the day.

    I think that if we can give the damaged tissue a bit of time to heal, especially with some helpful  soothing foods and good oils, like flax seed oil, and herbs, spices and vitamins and minerals. Then the body’s own immune system will take over and rebuild and repair the tissue and make it as it was before the infection began. Maybe even better.

    For the prostate and any of its problems I decided to use a method the Chinese call the “Deer Exercise”, and I have found that it is helping me. Do a search on it and you will see from the directions how easy it is to do and the profound effects and help we can get from doing it regularly.

    My routine now is I have a warm cup of water on waking up with 2 capsules of cranberry. And I also drink a tablespoon of Colloidal Silver, which I make myself with an inexpensive Colloidal Silver maker I bought online. There are many available online, so do a search and see how simple it is to make it. The other option is to buy the colloidal silver from a health food store.

    Then one  hour later I take a cup of warm water with one teaspoon of non-aluminum Baking Soda, to make the body more alkaline.

    Then the third hour I take a cup of warm parsley tea, which I make myself from fresh parsley which I let steep in water which was brought to boiling and then shut off. I don’t boil the water with the chopped parsley bits in it. I just let it steep for several hours. I make a lot of it at one time and then refrigerate it and use one cup at a time. Just drink the juice and throw away the parsley bits.

    The fourth hour I take a cup of hot ginger tea which I also make from scratch using fresh diced ginger. I boil the water in a large pot with the diced ginger in it for ten minutes and then shut it off. Its very strong tasting, but its very good for health.

    The fifth hour I take a cup of warm water with four garlic perls in it, and I let the gelatin capsules melt and when its melted and the garlic oil is visible I add one teaspoon of olive oil to it, stir and drink it. You would be surprised, its not bad at all.

    The sixth hour I again take the warm cup of water and baking soda.

    Then I do the routine somewhat in that order again. I also take colloidal silver about three times a day.

    This is the list of items that I also take throughout the day to help me, some I have mentioned;
     
    List Of Items I Use For The Urinary Tract Infection Or Prostititus Problem.   

      
    CINNAMON AND HONEY in cup of warm water, I use about one tbsp of each.
    GINGER
    FLAXSEED OIL one tbsp a few times a day
    PARSLEY TEA
    BAKING SODA
    YARROW LEAVES capsules take as directed on bottle
    ECHINACEA AND GOLDEN SEAL ROOT capsules take as directed on bottle
    UVA URSI LEAF capsules take as directed on bottle
    ALFALFA take as directed on bottle
    SAW PALMETTO take as directed on bottle
    ZINC I take double what is directed on bottle
    MAGNESIUM I take double what is directed on bottle
    VITAMIN C  I take several 1000 mgs per day
    BIOFLAVINOIDS I take one capsule each time I take Vitamin C
    MSM POWDER I take one teaspoon each time I take Vitamin C
    MSM LOTION I put lotion on the areas at least twice a day and also before I sleep
    VITAMIN E take as directed on bottle
    VITAMIN A take as directed on bottle
    SELENIUM I take it with Vitamin E
    VITAMIN B 6 I take as directed
    COLLOIDAL SILVER I take about 3 times a day one tablespoon
    KALI SULPH 6X take as directed
    FERRUM PHOS 6X take as directed

     

    I hope this helps out everybody. I think it is helping me.

    I decided to look at the information that I might find from searching for "deer exercise" on Google, and I decided to add a website which seems to  have what I believe is similar to what I read to do in a book I have by Dr. Stephan Chang. He description of the "deer exercise" in his book seems to be written so that it will be a very safe and effective exercise to do.

     

    Some of the websites seemed to have more complicated information than I feel I would need to have at this time. I wanted to find what seemed like safe directions which would be helpful for prostate problems. The ones that I thought best describe what one can actively and personally do to help a prostate problem situation and return to health as quickly and as safely as possible.

     

    This website describes the two simple exercises I am doing which I find are helping me.

     

    http://www.umaatantra.com/tantra_articles/male_deer_exercise.html

     

    I think all will be surprised to see how simple they are to do.

    I hope it helps any who decide to try it, as it is helping me.

    I am also doing all the other things which I have described in my previous post.

    I have gone through this exact same thing. I have pain at the tip of my urethra. My urologist told me I also had the white globs inside my urethra which he said was called a ureathral stricture. He told me it was scar tissue, but he did not know from what. I had a very minor operation done where he removed some of the scarred tissue and after it healed up I felt 100% better. The only problem is that he said it would probably be a recurring issue. that was about a year ago now, and it is starting to come back a little now, but the relief I felt for the past year was definately worth it.

    Healing Circle

    (part 1)
    Having read all the posts on this forum, and experiencing this problem urethritis and prostatitis myself I know how depressing it may be at times to each of us. The medical profession doesn’t seem to have an answer for these problems either. But they are only one method available to us, and I have begun to realize that we have much more effective and powerful means at our disposal. I will get to that later but first I want to describe what I think we need to somewhat agree on before we can try this other idea so it can be of help to us all.

    The methods I have described in my previous posts; the vitamins and herbs and other methods seem to be slowly helping me, along with several ideas of others on this forum, and I have also seen how too much sitting can be a painful problem, and that walking is a very good exercise especially for the prostatitis. But I am not 100% yet or even close, and I do not want to spend my time continually having to “take care” of my body. I will not be a slave to my body, and I don’t want my urethra or my prostate or any other part of my body to rule my life.
     
    I rule my body. And I know that I am not a body I am a mind which has a body.

    I have also decided that this health problem is unacceptable to me, and I want to be totally healed from it. I do not want to have any ridiculous handicap which prevents me from drinking what I like and know is healthy and good for me, or eating good healthy foods like tomatoes and other vegetables and fruits I have always eaten because of some microbes which invaded my body and made some damage to my tissues.

    I remember that I was very stressed about the time this problem first began, and my immune system was probably at one of its lowest points. I think that if my immune system and thinking had been positive at the time the microbes found their way in me, my immune system would have destroyed them then, and I would not be experiencing these problems, nor writing this.
    And I would not be surprised if that is also a common experience to others here.
    But that’s past and we still have to deal with this problem.

    I think that if we keep focusing on the problem and try to solve the problem at the level of the problem we will fail and may never solve it or heal it. Many have had it a long time even after having taken a lot of  medical drugs, so that doesn’t seem to be where any answer is.
    But we can solve the problem from our strength. We can take the problem and turn it into a project which we will address from our strength.

    And what’s our strength? It is that we are Spiritual Beings and all are sons of God. That’s a Truth. And God does not want us to be suffering with these problems. And we have in our possession a God given  power to change even the physical world with our minds.

    In order to do this right, I think each of you who may want try this with me, in order to give this a chance to work, must visit the website of Dr. Emoto and see that he has proof that it is possible to change the molecules of water using only our thoughts. And remember we are physically made of around 70% water. You have to see first that it is possible to change matter by using the mind so you will have the confidence that this can indeed work for us as we will use it in our project.

    http://www.spiritofmaat.com/archive/nov1/cwater.htm

    http://www.life-enthusiast.com/twilight/research_emoto.htm


    Let’s try to look at this as an important project, and also as “being given a chance to overcome a limitation.”. And we will overcome it.

    From my spiritual studies especially by studying “A Course In Miracles”, and from actual life experiences, I have come to learn and know that my mind and spirit live forever. My body of course is of a material of this world and has only a certain amount of time to serve me in this life, but as long as I have it I want it to function perfectly and normally as it was intended to function

    (part 2)
    Now I hope you have looked at the slides that Dr Emoto has on his website, and have also read what he has found that was said and used which changed the nature of water molecules and crystals. If you have, then what I am proposing will not seem impossible to you. You will not be shocked or surprised that we have a tremendous ability that we can put to use to help us where other methods have failed.

    And collectively, linked together, we have an even greater power available, because we are not using it to help ONLY ourselves, but have decided to become a part of a group effort which is intended to help ALL of us who want to become a part in this idea.

    I would like to try an experiment. Can we make a powerful Healing Circle together?
    What if the only thing we need to do to create one vast healing circle, is just to decide we want to have one, and then mentally join with others who have also decided to become a part of this vast healing circle.

    Any of you who are reading this, and want to participate, can, if you can also accept and believe that our minds are very powerful, and it is also our only obvious link to each other. And that perhaps if we can just try to imagine our minds consciously linking up to form a vast circle of united individual minds, united in the goal of freeing ourselves from this health problem that we are now each experiencing, we can make some great changes happen, and healing will occur.

    And the only requirement and thing we need to do is just to want to be a part of it.
    And also, any helpful gains that any of us in this vast joined circle makes, its healing energy is multiplied and immediately transferred and shared with each other who are open to receive it.  Only the positive gains are transferred, but any of the pain is not allowed to enter the healing circle.
    That allows any of us who are being lifted up and becoming free from this problem to also help lift others up with us.

    Each of us are like important links in a Vast Healing Circle. Linked together, we make this circle, and because we are also each a son of God, the Healing Circle will be very powerful and helpful. We are part of One Mind, God’s Mind, and whenever any of us mentally decides to link up to this One Mind, then we will each feel the healing that any of us in the vast circle is feeling. So if anyone is feeling good that instant, that same good feeling pain-free experience can be shared with all the others who have chosen to join the vast Healing circle. And perhaps anyone who is having a bad day with pain that day need to only close their eyes and imagine their mind linking up and becoming a part of the vast Healing Circle that we have made. That should help. And I think that perhaps any pain anyone may be feeling could be lessened and perhaps even disappear.
    And that way the healing gains can then shared and  transferred to all in the Healing Circle.

    I think all anyone has to do is to mentally decide to become a part of this vast Healing Circle and they will immediately become a part of it. And even if only two or three are joined mentally it will have much more power than if we each of us try to go it alone. And as more minds join together in this mental realm, it will have even more power and healing available to each of  us.

    The only requirement is that at least once a day, or as many times a day that we can think of it, we would send a feeling of love and blessing to the Healing Circle whenever we think of it, because that Healing Circle represents All of Us. And we know that love is very healing and very powerful.
    In A Course In Miracles it says that blessing is the  most powerful thing we can do for another.

    I hope I did not make it seem complicated. Its just a mental decision those that are interested can  make. Remember if just two or more decide to join we will be joined by a Greater Power.

    What do you think? What have we got to lose?

    I totally agree! Some of us are serious when we are trying to find a cure for our issues and no healing circle bull is going to fix anything. I do believe in taking natural medicines and vitamins to help the body heal itself quicker and plenty of research on any subject is required, but you people who say god is going to heal us sound delusional! If there is a god, I'm sure he has better things to fix then my dick.

    No surprise, there is always someone like you lurking about ready to snipe at an individual with an idea new to you and that you don't understand yet.

     

    Look, If you have any ideas or methods you want to share that you think may help you and others, then feel free to share them. That is what this forum is about.

     

    I am absolutely serious about everything I have written in all of my posts here.

     

    I did not say "its all in our minds."

    I said that it could very well be that with our minds connected together we can solve the problems, and have the healing that many of us want so badly. A big difference.

     

    I think its you who should reconsider what you are saying when you decide to post here. All you have contributed with your negative post is an attempt at trying to insult me.

     

    If you don't agree with what I have written then that is your problem not mine.

     

    Try reading what I have written again, and if you don't understand what I wrote, then ask for help to understand it. I would be very happy to try to help you or anyone else understand these ideas better. I know they may be very different and new to you and others. There is no shame in that. Everything is new to all of us at one time or other. It only requires perhaps a little humility to ask.

     

    I know these ideas may be new to many people who first read them, and so if I am asked I will do all that i can to make these workable  ideas clearer. You see these ideas are not new to me, or I would not have presented them. I just made the connection that we can use them for our problems, and I presented them because I know they can work. I asked readers to visit Dr Emoto's website to see that what I propose can work if tried. You will only gain if you make the effort and check it out. And that will give you the confidence that what we try can work.

    There is a lot of history behind what I have written and shared here.

     

    But I am certain that no one needs your arrogant remarks about the serious issues and ideas I have taken a lot of time to try to put into words, because I'm also sure there may be others here who may understand these ideas and would also like to try them out.

    Even if there is only one or two people willing, then what I have written was worth the effort, and we who participate will gain by it, I'm certain of it.

     

    And it costs nothing but a gentle thought to participate, and I am sure that we are all capable of that.

    You have no idea what power this involves.

     

    Also have you ever considered the possibility that there may be others who have posted here who don't have such a closed mind as you appear to have, and they may see the validity of what I have described in my posts. And they just might be interested to try something which just might work for them, when so many other methods have failed.

     

    Yet from your post I seriously doubt at this time that you will allow your mind to stretch that far.

    But who knows maybe you will surprise me and even yourself.

     

    It costs nothing to try.

    And we can only gain.

    One other important thought I want to add here.

     

    When I proposed the idea for a healing circle, I asked for a response from those who would be interested in participating.

    I don't need snipers who only want to shoot down an idea that is new to them.

     

    And if you don't believe in God, that just another of your problems which you need not share, all it shows is your ignorance.

     

    No need to respond if you are NOT interested.

    What's the point, its obviously not for you, and that is all.

     

    Those that are interested can post and just saying "I will participate." or "OK."

    Then we can know if we have a few, or several participating.

    If you don't want to actually post, you can still be a part of it by mentally deciding to be.There are no rules to this, its just an idea that may surprise you who participate.

    But don't let the snipers discourage you.

     

    Each of us will be making a mental link in our healing circle regardless.

     

     

    Also, If you don't like my ideas, then ignore my posts. Don't read them.

    And post your own ideas.That's what a forum is about.

     

    But try not to get upset that someone has an idea that is new to you.

     

    Actually my ideas are very old, and there are many who know they can work.

    I'll respond to your bullshit whenever I want. You need to come back to reality. The body works in mysterious ways, and your brain is connected directly to your ass! Stop presenting yourself to be "enlightened" or "educated" when your really just a weirdo with a library card.

    Hey you

    who feels a need to keep sniping at me,

    and you call yourself "Anonymous"

     

    Save yourself from getting so stressed out.

     

    You are obviously freaked out by my posts.

     

    My posts are easy to identify, they will all have the name "Andrea" on them.

     

    So if you see "Andrea" as the name its coming from, avoid it.

     

    And do everybody a favor;

     

    and stop acting like such an asshole.

     

    ( yeah I know, in your next post you will probably let everybody know that you will act like an asshole whenever you want, and I'm sure you will. )

     

    Don't you get it? Its obvious to me that you and I have nothing to say to each other.

     

    Why don't you post some information on what you think is a method you like to use and are seeing good results from?

    We on this message board don't need to know what you don't like.

    I'm sure you don't like a lot of things.

    We know for sure that you don't like my posts, so avoid them.

    I hope that what I have suggested can help you out.

     

    And I really hope you can find a way to enjoy the rest of your day.

    Try smiling.

     

    And I really hope your pain disappears,

    but I really don't want to communicate with you any more.

     

    So please give it a rest.

     

    Andrea

    Humble your spirit before the flying spaghetti monster!  Ask yourself: what would the flying spaghetti monster do (WWFSMD)?  Indeed the flying spaghetti monster has shown me the way.  Please grab your noodles and sauce and perform the rite of spaghetti.  By synchronizing it we will heal all ills.  I tried it and it worked.  Believe!

     

    But seriously, mental state can affect health.  You don't have to wright a paragraph to say that.  Communicate, don't shove stuff down peoples throats with windy speeches.

    Im a 28 year old male and I was diagnosed with prostatitis.  After I urinate I feel I have a bit of urine still left in my urethra.  My penis feels weird and until I make a sudden movement where the access urine comes out I feel fine.  Its very annoying because I basically pee all over my underpants.  Throughtout the day I also feel like I do have to pee, but the tip of my penis just has a weird sensation.  It comes and goes throughout the day.  I have protected sex all the time and I have been tested in the past and everything has come back negative for STDs.  My urologist is never clear on whether it can be due to the prostatitis.

    I had protected sex with my girlfriend, and when i orgasmed it was really painful. and ever since then the opening of my penis is red and inflamed, and does not feel like its opening like it use to.  when i urinate i still get drips of urine out even after i shake it.  it does not burn when i masturbate or urinate...

    i came the other night it felt hard to come out, like as if there was a blockage stopping the cum from coming out. anyone ever had this problem !! top of the penis is so red..

     

    no i didnt have unprotected sex.

    ive written on this thread many times...!!

    doctors think i am mad.

     

    i had a biopsy were they put a camera down the eye of your penis and they didnt find any problems, i went and got STD checks ago and they said that everything was ok that they tested me for but they did say something was there, but they didnt know what ?

    Alright guys. I think all of you should read the content on this website. http://www.prostate-massage-and-health.com/index.html After much extensive reading I am NOW convinced that the majority of us have non specific prostatitis. Non specific prostatitis or also known as non-bacterial prostatitisCAN NOT be detected and will not be affected by any antibiotic treatment.....

    There is no medical remedy for non-bacterial prostatitis.

    By medical statistics, there are 8 times as many cases of non-bacterial prostatitis as there are of bacterial prostatitis.

    Now here's the problem: there are actually two kinds of "non-bacterial" prostatitis.

    The first kind (which we will discuss on this page) is caused by congestion and lack of blood supply. Too much sex will do that. Too much sitting will also.

    The second kind is actually bacterial, but is labeled non-bacterial because the bacteria are trapped inside the acini (small sacs) in the prostate gland.

    These bacterial do not "shed" into the urine or semen. So, they go undetected in standard lab tests.


    Symptoms

    - Tender, swollen prostate
    - Pain in your penis
    - Pain in your testicles
    - Pain in the area between your scrotum and your rectum (perineum)
    Those are the most obvious prostatitis symptoms.
    Other common, but maybe less obvious symptoms include:

    - Frequent urination

    - Burning urination
    - Incomplete emptying of bladder
    - Painful ejaculation
    - Painful urination (dysuria)
    - Sensation of having to urinate immediately, often accompanied by bladder pain or spasm (urgency)
    - Recurring urinary tract infection (UTI)
    The Seemingly Unrelated Prostatitis Symptoms Start Here:
    - Lower back pain (very common)
    - Chronic pelvic pain syndrome
    - Fever
    -Chills
    - Joint pain (arthralgia)
    - Muscle pain (myalgia)
    - Infection in bloodstream (sepsis)

    I don't know about you guys but I have had ALL of these symptoms at one time or another for years with the exception of the infection of bloodstream as far as I know. The good news is if you read under the pain relief and massage sections there are lots of things to try that have helped people and a lot eventually cured them of all symptoms. You just have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone. I've been doing sitz baths as they recommend lately and they help ALOT.

    It seems the thing people have been having most success with is something called "prostate milking." I'll go ahead and let you guys read about that though. Lets just say I was scared ****less when I read what I had to do but if it gets rid of this I am willing to do just about anything. One thing I've noticed a lot of us have in common is our doctors have followed the same cookie cutter recipe in dealing with these issues and then telling us there's nothing wrong with us. No there IS something wrong with us! What the **** are we paying them for! Its time to start healing ourselves. Its probably going to take a lot of time and a lot of effort.

    I'm convinced most of us brought this on ourselves from unhealthy lifestyles. God knows I did. Whether it be drug or alcohol abuse, unhealthy eating and no exercise, or over masturbation and sex. These are ALL things that contribute to prostatitis. "It is estimated that 98% of our nations illnesses are a result of improper diet and malnutrition" Good luck to you guys. By the way after taking that ProstaQ supplement for about a little over a week now I think I've seen slight improvement. But they say it can take a month for it to really start working. Laterz.
