Hey Doctor, I’ve Been Having Dysuria For About A Year
Question: Hey doctor,
I’ve been having dysuria for about a year on and off now which consists of a burning sensation when I urinate. I can feel it as the urine first comes out of the bladder not actually in my urethra which is what I originally thought was happening. The pain is also especially worse if I don’t drink enough water and I’m not really a big water drinker. Now I have had a bunch of blood tests and urine samples sent off which all showed no signs of infection. I also visited a urologist about 3 months ago about it and he kind of palmed it off being anything especially since I’ve repeated the urine tests several times and have no “alarming” symptoms. Also when I first got this I had never had sex before so I’ve had this for about 10 months prior to ever having sex with anyone the only thing I ever used was a fleshlight sex toy but I’m unsure if that can cause anything? Is there anyway the current tests I’ve done have missed anything, is there any further testing that I should be doing can I possibly have an infection without it showing up in tests?

1) Do you have pain in perineal region ?
No pain in this region no.
2) Do you have pain while ejaculating?
Sometimes I feel a bit of an ache in my lower pelvic region when masterbating but not during sex but nothing too painful.
3) Have you done urine culture at any given time ?
Yeah I’ve done multiple urine cultures which were all negative for anything.
I haven’t done any of those tests you’ve listed but I think mentioned them to my gp but she couldn’t do them, does this have to be done through a specialist? I will get the ultrasound done though.
In terms of non bacterial Prostatitis what’s the main treatment for this? Is it bad that I have had it un diagnosed and un treated this long? Can it increase chances of getting cancer etc? With the antibiotics my doctor has avoided giving them as I have a really bad stomach and gut and they upset them badly
No pain in this region no.

Hey doctor last night I noticed a slight itch on the underside of my penis and upon checking there was a red like rash that had developed. I’ve never had anything like this before and I noticed it after having a shower. Now a couple of things I am overseas at the moment and I have been using a different soap the last couple of days so I am unsure if this caused it? But there is also some scaly bits on the scrotum and penis skin as well. Based on the images what do you think is the cause of this? I have really bad health anxiety so I am a little freaked out especially being overseas. In terms of STD’s I am unsure if it is that? I have only ever had two partners I’ve slept with and one of them is currently my girlfriend and I know she doesn’t have anything and the first one was over 3 months ago and didn’t have anything and I have always wore condoms. I’m unsure if I will be able to visit a doctor until I get back on the Monday next week is this a bad thing? I can possibly visit one here but might be a bit hard.
Upon waking up the next day the redness has gone completely and now there is just a dry white patch and flaky brown patch. What do you think this can be?

Hey doctor attached is images but the redness has now subsided it just flaky as you can see in the images do you think this needs urgent attention or is it manageable until I get back just a little worried and it seems to get red after I have a warm shower but goes down again which is not usual for me.

Thanks for that doc did you mean jock itch? Is it worth visiting a doctor here overseas or just trying the antifungal cream first? Should I be applying it to the whole area and if so how much? How exactly does one get jock itch is it common for men to get and how long would it take to heal up do you think?
