Urethra irritation - tip of penis (opening) is red

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..?

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....

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

 

Thanks, Eric

hello,

i have exact same problem, red tip, sensitivity, burning after urination, i have done som research and believe it is not the prostate or the bladder at all.  when my uro wanted to remove my bladder that is when i left his office, they just dont care and dont know.  email me at r_rob32@yahoo.com and we can discuss further.  I know it is the Pelvic Floor Muscle...

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?

I have the same problems .. I've had unprotected sex and homosex .. has any of you? Did you find get a correct diagnosis or any form of permanent cure yet?

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.

Anyone recovered from urethral irritation and urinary frequency as described in above cases?

 

How long were you ill for and what was the treatment that was successful in clearing your symptoms?

reply

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?

i have to pee all the time at night as well. it feels like my penis is hurting down there as well. like i said my psa was normal but still have penile pain redness at the tip and constant urination

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!!
reply

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.........

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.

reply

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.

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.

Sorry, I see you already had the scoping. I'm awake now. I'm still thinking excessive rubbing or sensitivity to a chemical on the red tip.

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.

Like  a few other posters, after some lap dancing/grinding, there was some irritation and redness that has not gone away after a few weeks. There seems to be some correlation, any suggesstipons from anyone is much aprreciated.
reply

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?
reply

Guys i've been having this sympton for 4 months, been going to many Doc for check up and so on, none work till one of my friend suggested going to Chinese Massage therapist, during the session, was hell of a pain during the treatment but worth it. I was told that the nerves on my back was injuried due to sitting long hours infront of my computer, and not execising at all. 

 

After the treatment, the tip of my penis no longer feel pain and im like a recharge people.

 

Do try it!

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 have sorness and burning sensation around the privates to the tip of penis and in the thighs any suggestion what the problem might be and have a burning sensation when I have the urge to go. I very worried and scared to go to doctor please put my mind at ease.
reply

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.

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

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:

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!
