Possible a toilet infection

Detailed Answer:
Hello ! Thank your for using HCM
I have gone through your question and i understand your concern .
Could be a urinary tract infection( urethritis ) or a penis infection .When people use public toilet ,if they a are not safe, you may get infection ( toilets diseases ), it's not a STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease).
I would recommend to do a urine test to check for bacteria and other sign of infection, Swab test , examine your prostate ( DRE) , examine your throat (sometimes when we don't wash the hands carefully, the bacteria from the public toilet may reach the throat) .According to the results your doctor will decide for the proper treatment ( antibiotics).
Meanwhile drink planty of water (at least 8 glases /day),wash your self with warm water , consume cranberry juice .

Hope i have answered your question.
Let me know if you have any further clarifications, I will be happy to help, if not you can close the discussion.
Take Care !
Dr Balliu .
