Bump on meatus.

Hi Jared,

I understand how you feel about the anxiety, i am having this issue as well. So i went to my local GP and he examined my case and told me it is candida balanitis and i wasnt sure if he was right, because no tests were done, so i went to GUM clinic, had myself tested with urine and blood tests and came back i am negative, but realized that my blood sugar is way beyond sub optimal, therefore, doc told me that it could be my blood sugar that is feeding the yeast, which, it has unlimited supplies for the yeast to manifest, and recurrance happen every 2 weeks. So i am not sure if it is the yeast infection that causes my blood sugar to went up, or it was my blood sugar that causes the recurrance of yeast infection.

So, my local GP and i came out with the idea to have theraphy to treat my blood sugar with metformin, which it send signal to my liver to less produce sugar and this process of having this treatment may take months to even years to maintain my blood sugar. And doc suggest me to use anti fungal/ topical cream twice a day, which it helps very much, it ease the itch and redness of my glans and foreskin.

I find that without applying of this cream, it gets very dry on my foreskin, and 2 days without cream will forms segma around my foreskin and also the tingling sensation with or without urinating. 

I shall keep here update of my progress if i have a chance.

Hello, i also have same problem. It does not hurt or pain. Another thing is bulginess is more when erected and bulginess diminishes when there is no erection. I too consulted a dermitologist he said no problem. But i too anxious if you sort out this thing early let me know......thank you.

Hello all, I have pretty much the same symptoms like Jared does for over 2 months now. Please let me know if anyone got any updates regarding this problem, losing hope a bit already. Thank you

Hi Jared,

I am having the same problem now. I've got it almost 1 week back. I haven't had sex itself. Never. Yet I've got it.

Did you find an answer/ solution to this problem? If yes, please do tell me on what shall I do?

I'm a 60 year old male with BPH for last 10 years. No other health issues. No STD's etc. About 4 months ago, I could hardly void. Went to Urologist, was scoped and found to have marble size protrusion at medium lobe on prostate. It was working like a check valve, only in the wrong direction! The more I pushed the more it closed off the urethra.  Doc had me self cath for a month until I could get in for TURP surgery.  Had surgery 10 days ago. Removed Foley Catheter 7 days ago. After removing catheter, I noticed the bottom half of my meatus was red and protruding. It was very similar, if not a little worse than JaredG's.  I was able to pee like I hadn't pee'd in 30 years or more! So the surgery was successful. I assumed swelling and redness would diminish, but so far it is still the same. I am on Cipro, (last day, today).

M.A.  told me to use Neosporin. She didn't know what it was other than irritation. I'm hoping that's all it is, but I would think after a week it would subside a little.  I am experiencing burning and stinging sensation at tip of penis. Doesn't seem bad while urinating, only after (for an hour or so). I go in for  follow up in 6 days. I will try to get a diagnosis and relay information to this group. 

On another note; Guys, If you are experiencing urinary difficulty, don't put off going to a Urologist. In my case, my GP was treating me with Medication. In some cases this might help, but in my case no amount of medicine would have shrunk or removed that growing marble size protrusion at my bladder outlet. This could have gone south in a hurry. Urine retention can cause major kidney damage and failure. Your bladder nerves can be permanently damaged, and if it doesn't kill you, you could be stuck with lifelong self cathing, foley cath, stoma, dialysis, etc. I feel very lucky that I seemed to have avoided all of that. To be honest, I didn't realize the danger of putting off going to the Urologist. Except for the fear of the unknown regarding the way my meatus looks, the self cathing, the scope, and even the surgery was not that bad. The anticipation was the worst part.

 

Everyone, I have some issue.

But came after sexual contact, a while after, I had sexual sexual contact and as per blood test, it seems like I contracted clamydia.

I have done treatment, antiboitic etc and probably every sort of bacteria is gone.

I blood test I also came Herpes Positive for both 1 and 2. This is going to be confusing to figure out, I dont trust the blood test.

Could be it be herpes .. is someone testing negative for Herpes and still has this ?

Thanks.. Johny.
