Suggest Remedy For Pain In Urethra Due To Schistosomiasis
Hello. I used to regularly smoke marijuana. about a month and a half ago I began feeling extreme pain in the end of my urethra when I smoked. but not when i urinate. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a parasite, Schistosomiasis (I had been in Africa earlier that month). I was not sexually active in Africa and hadn't been for at least 7 months. Ive been tested for sti's and have been to the urologist. I stopped smoking when I suspected weed caused the pain. I haven't had any pain since then. Is this normal. and if not what else can I do?

Hello there,
I am dr.milan an infectious disease specialist answering your question.
Treatment of schistosomiasis is Praziquintal single dose so you might have taken this. You have gone through right path.
Whatever pain you have had is what i feel is because of this schistosomiasis and not by marijuana.
So problem is resolved now.What is suggest you to do nothing. And observed the symptoms any burning, increse in frequency of urine, urgency and any skin infection related sympoms like ulcer, rashes or any blister this is for any sexualy transmitted disease(STD). For rule out any any STD you can also visit a dermatologist, because for that local examination is indeed.
Hope i have given appropriate guidance to you.
