Chronic Urethritis, Seeking Advice and Suggestions

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hello, I have been struggling with persistent urethritis symptoms and would appreciate any insights or advice.

Here is my timeline and medical history:

Early March: Noticed symptoms of urethral itchiness and pain.

Mid-March: Visited a doctor and was prescribed Cefuroxime axetil (an antibiotic).

End of March: Conducted a blood test that showed no leukocytes in my urine.

Early April: Returned to doctor due to ongoing symptoms, took another course of Cefuroxime axetil for 3 days.

Late April: Received an Azithromycin 1g injection once and took Doxycycline 100mg twice daily for 7 days.

Early May: Conducted STD tests; negative results for HSV-2, Chlamydia, HIV, and Syphilis.

Mid-March to now: No sexual intercourse, only masturbation.

Despite the antibiotics and tests, my urethral pain and itchiness persist. I have recently been diagnosed by a general doctor with chronic urethritis. However, this diagnosis is based on my symptoms and not on a specific test result. The doctor advised me to relax and let it heal on its own.

I have abstained from masturbating for a week, but the symptoms haven't improved. I am suspecting that the chronic urethritis may be due to daily masturbation, as I felt pain when using a masturbation cup. I would like to note that all my tests came back negative and my last unprotected sexual intercourse was in mid-March.

Has anyone else had this diagnosis, and if so, what did you find helpful? How long does chronic urethritis usually last? Should I abstain from sexual activities for longer, and what treatments have you found effective?

Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions you can provide.

    Did anything trigger the onset of these symptoms?

    Was it new sexual partner? Encounter with deep regret/guilt?

    Any redness on glans? Change in urine stream?

      Don't have any noticeable discharge, if clear liquid discharge that look like urine then maybe have but have to squeeze my penis for it to come out. I did a test 2 month after my last unprotected sex.

      STD tests; negative results for HSV-2, Chlamydia, HIV, and Syphilis.

      Currently not sure what should I do next, since the symptom is irritating and preventing me to have any sexual activity.
