Prostatis pain and discomfort in the tip of my penis & urethra Posted: 12-10-07 07:44am
For the last 3 years I have suffered pain
and discomfort in the tip of my penis and
urethra. this pain was first experienced
when I was on holiday some years ago, it
was diagnosed as prostatitis. However this
pain has become residual aand is ever
present causing my need to urinate
continually,sometimes I have a reasonable
flow sometimes not. I am now impotent as
any pressure on my penis hurts and I find
sex extremely painful.
When I am sat down I get discomfort in my
anus and a feeling of fullness in my
bladder and bowel as if I want to urinate
again this gets worse until I have to
frequent the toilet and pass urine then
it repeats itself over and over as the day
progresses. Night time is worst of all I
find it difficult getting over to sleep as
the pain radiates from the tip of my penis
along the urethra and feels as though it
disappears up my back side.
I get tense and irritable, this has a
damaging effect on my relationship with my
wife,we are faithful no sexual
infideity.

Urinary and Bladder Disorders Answer A3456 Posted: 12-12-07 07:19am
Given the symptoms, (pain in the penis,
frequent urge for peeing, painful sex,
impotency, and discomfort in the anus) you
could be experiencing a chronic
inflammation of the genitals and maybe of
the urinary tract as well. Chronic
inflammation of the urethra and prostate
are very possible. Chronic prostate
inflammation (prostatitis) can be due to
an uncured / untreated acute infection or
the persistence of benign prostate
hyperplasia. Chronic urethral inflammation
(urethritis) can be due to an infection
that has not been completely treated or an
allergic reaction (urethral syndrome). You
can request a few diagnostic procedures in
order to investigate:
1. Sperm analyses with microbiological
examination;
2. Urine analyses with microbiological
examination;
3. Standard Blood analyses;
4. Rectal examination of the prostate;
5. Ultrasound of the prostate;
6. Microbiological smear from the
urethra;
7. Laboratory tests for STD;
8. Rectal examination.
Consult a urologist about your condition
and request further diagnostics.
