Hi, for the past 10 weeks i have been suffering from discomfort in the urethra. Iv looked up online and it points to utheritis. Most often having the urge to pee and get a tingle down the shaft of the penis. this discomfort can come and go!. i seem to be fine when im up and about on my feet but when i lie down or sit down. This uncomfortable feeling gets the better of me. iv never had any discharge from the penis or any pain whilst urinating. i have never noticed any spots or blisters on my penis. only thing i have had before was balanitis on the head of the penis but that disappeared after a week of otc cream and medicine. I got tested for Chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis and mycoplasma genitalium

and they came back negative. im unfortunately away with work so cant get tested for HSV 1 or 2. Here is a pic of my penis. does the meatus look normal in colour and size.

Any feed back would be so helpful.

thanksimageimage

    Jaimeson20 Did you ever find out what this was? and how you cured it?

    I had the similar issue as you one time and did a STD test, which came back negative for everything. I did get intense sharp pain when I urinate.

    I was diagnosed with HSV2 in the same test, but to this day, I don't think what I had had anything to do with herpes... but I could be wrong.

    Good luck.
