What Causes Burning Urination, Hematospermia, Heamaturia And Foul Odor In Urine?

Hi, I have had urinary problems for a number of years. Specifically these are: weak stream with mild burning sensation, getting up 2 - 3 times to urinate at night, and, over the past year hematospermia on most episodes of ejaculation. I also have heamaturia (invisible) and strong smelling urine. Over the years I have had 3 cystoscopies all normal. Rectal examinations and renal dye tests have also been normal. I have been taking tamsulosin for the past couple of years. My reason for approaching you is that the hematospermia is more frequent of late and ejaculation is quite uncomfortable, verging on painful. Should I put this down to some form of chronic prostatis and if so, is there a way of getting a definite diagnosis of this condition so that I can stop worrying that there may be a more sinister cause? The only thing that gives me some assurance is that I have had the symptoms of weak urination with burning since the 1990s and I tell myself that had it been something sinister I would not be here now! Thanks& regards, John

Pathologist and Microbiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your history is suggestive of enlarged prostate. I suggest you to get digital rectal examination to look for presence of enlarged prostate. In addition, serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic biopsy to look for any neoplasm should also be done. Since there is blood in urine, urine for malignant cells should also be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
