Infection In Foreskin,irritation Between Scrotum And Anus,tingling Sensation
After going through your query, I understand that you have 2 main problems
1. Infection on the foreskin which often irritates.
2. There is increased frequency of urination, some retention of urine and sometimes leakage.
Well, I think both these conditions are related. Before answering your questions, may I ask you a couple of questions?
1. Does anyone in your family have Diabetes?
2. Do you have high blood pressure?
I am strongly suspecting Diabetes Mellitus as an underlying problem. The infection on the foreskin may well be Candidal Balanoposthitis (fungal infection), which is quite common in diabetics. DM also leads to increase frequency of urination and tingling sensations due to neuropathy (nerve damage).
Another thing that we should look for is Benign Prostrate Hypertrophy (BPH) which is common at your age and leads to increased frequency, hesitation and retention of urine. Sometimes, post micturition dribble may also be seen as in your case.
I suggest you get your fasting and postprandial blood sugar levels done. Also consult an Urologist for BPH. An ultrasound will pick up if your prostrate is enlarged.
Hope I have answered your query, I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
I had noticed If I had fell asleep at night that I when I had woke up and then stood up to go to bed upstairs I had realised that I was really desperate for the toilet so much so that I wasnt sure I was going to be able to hold it all in and have leaked a little before I got there. It happened recently and it almost seems like I dont feel it or notice that so much when lying down but its when I stand up I was wondering as if there is more pressure there that way. I had felt like that after getting up from lying sunbathing on holiday and had frequent urination that day back in February. And once on two different holidays February and November I had had to go to the toilet only about 10 or 15 mins after going. But on those two occasions I felt as though I'd passed a fair amount of urine.
I did wonder about my prostate that Is something the doctor didnt check. Though I would say that I only get the more frequent urination on odd occasions now it was the sensation down there and the fact Ive had to rush to the toilet some nights. If I'd woken sooner maybe I'd be better.I dont get up a lot to go at night I can sometime not go to 6am. Normallyduring the day its about every three hours which is ok.
Thanks for the clarifications.
Another possiblity that comes to mind is neurogenic bladder.
So my suggestion is to get your blood glucose checked if you have not done it in the past 6 months.
Consult your Urologist for BPH ( prostrate enlargement) and cystourethrography to look for the bladder dynamics with voiding cystourethrogram.
Hope I have answered your query. Wish you Good Health.
