Hey Doctor, For The Last Couple Of Months I’ve Been

Posted on Tue, 22 Jan 2019

Question: Hey doctor,

For the last couple of months I’ve been having urine problems. I am always getting this burning pain at the very tip of my urethra when I go to pee. I’ve had numerous urine tests and a swab of my penis all coming out negative with no bacteria present. What exactly could this be if there is no bacteria? My doctor has ordered one more urine test for me to do which is called a ureoplasma urine sample. With this test is there any specific way I should be collecting my urien mid stream, first thing in the monring or does it not matter for this test? Could that be the reason for my symptoms could anything else be causing it? I’ve also never had sexual intercourse and all the sti tests came out negative anyways.

Brief Answer:
Morning urine and infection unlikely

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

The test should be taking as morning urine. It is unlikely that ureaplasma is causing your symptoms. Are there any skin changes (sore, redness, swelling, etc)?

Looking forward to hearing from you again.
