What Causes Red Urethra With Pain In Penis?

Hi I have been on accutane for almost five months, I have ten days left in my prescribed dose and I noticed my urethra was red. My penis hurts when touching my pants and when I tried to pee this morning my urethra was closed but after three seconds enough pressure built up to release the urine. I am pretty scared so can you please tell me what to do, and if it means anything I am not sexually active so it's not an std.

Dear Friend.
Hi , I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This can occur due to one of the following reasons :
1. Acute Urethritis
2. Prostatitis
3. Ureteric Stone
4. Urinary Tract Infection.
5. Insect Bite
Since you are not sexually active , chances of STD are not there.
It would be difficult to comment upon further without examination.
So , you should get yourself checked by a Urologist. And get an Ultrasound Abdomen with KUB.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you want to discuss your issues further, you may please ask us
