Anybody knows what this could be?
Ever since a month or two I began having pain. I originally thought it was the glans but I found out the pain is actually coming from inside my urethra. Looking at the inside of my urethra, I see it has blue spots/bruises (see photo). It looks a bit worse in real life but it's hard to photograph correctly.
It also stings a bit after I pee, and sometimes hurts a bit. It especially hurts after sex. I can't have sex a second time because it's too painful. Giving it rest doesn't seem to help, but not giving it rest definitely makes things worse.
There is no discharge. No smell, I don't seem to have any other symptoms. I can't seem to find a STD or STI that just has these issues.
I'm currently abroad until the end of the year, so I can't visit my GP. I can't do a STD test because it's very expensive here (I don't think my insurance covers this). I have an appointment with an urologist, but the waiting time is 3 months.
Anybody knows what this could be?

Thomas, fully agree with Kim, you cannot let this develop any further - you need a Doctor A.S.P !

Thanks, I will on Monday.
I have a feeling it could be triochomoniasis actually.

None. That's why it's a bit strange and I'm unclear about what it could be.

I think with all (male) STDs there's almost always discharge or something obvious (like genital warts). I don't think that's the case here.
Could be good or bad news!
