Brief Answer:
as explained in details.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
The commonest causes for air coming from penis during urination are:
- Cystitis, that is infection and inflammation of the urinary bladder with gas producing bacteria.
- When there is fistulization between urinary bladder nearby intestines due to say for example diverticulitis, cancer. the air from the intestines escapes to the urinary bladder and hence comes out during urination, the urine may be clear or cloudy or with typical smell.
I would advise you the following:
Get an appointment with an Urologist.
X-ray of the abdomen
Ultrasonography
CT scan helps the best.
Tests of urine: routine, microscopy, culture and sensitivity, preferably before you are started on antibiotics.
Test of blood and stool.
Further evaluation as per the clinical findings, Cystoscopy and reports of the above tests and the treatment will solely depend upon the final diagnosis.
I hope this answer helps you to get an early diagnosis and proper management.
Wishing you all the best.
With Regards.
