    Hi

    I agree with HanO. You would have to treat your UTI with antibiotics. Have you been to a doctor to diagnose it or you just assume you have a UTI? If you went to a doctor did they prescribe antibiotics for your UTI? If you have a UTI It could be that infection/inflammation is spreading around. If the perineal swellling does not go down after antibiotics you would certainly need to consult a doctor.

      i went to the doctor and he prescribe diagnose for me after urine analyize, its just i can't take another appoitmant for a while

      how long should i wait for perineal swelling to go down? immediaitly after finsihing the antibiotic?

      Swelling should go down while you are still on antibiotics. Provided you are on the right antibiotic and taking it correctly without missing doses.

      I am more worried that there is inflammation or a cyst in there that is causing your symptoms. You say it is not painful to touch but sometimes your erections are painful? I understand you are stuck financially, but something like this would really require a urologist to look at. How soon do you think you may be able to afford to see a doctor? Not sure where you are but is there somewhere you can be seen free of charge - public hospital or something?

      well he gave me 10 days of antibiotics, and 3 days to go.

      it is not painfull to touch and painfull erections only happen during bowel movement or me cllosing my auns.  when i look at random nude pictures i have no problem with erections . well there's only public clinic but they have like general doctor no urologist. i'm going to take urine test there after i finish my antibiotics to see if it cleared or not.

      i will need like 3 weeks just to save up the money for antibiotics appoitmant

      I totally understand your difficulties. I hate that we can only get care required if we can afford it. I would say that after 7 days on antibiotics the symptoms should have mostly withdrawn by now. All you can do really is wait for another week after finishing antibiotics. If symptoms persist, then go to the public clinic and if necessary I think they can refer you to a urologist if they see fit as well? Or does it not work like that? Have you had any fever at all since this whole thing started? More importantly do you have any fever in the last 3 days?

      its how the world works right now sadly. if they refer me to urologist then its "paid one"  so either way i gotta pay.  i didn't have any fever at all sincethis started. only UTI that probbably i had for a while . the doctor says i have "virus" idk what he meant by that since im a virgin . so its not STD

      i'm 20 yo btw

      im not sure but i think i noticed that swelling after i finshed masterbuation .

      If you had a virus he would not give you antibiotics. If you have a bacterial infection he would give you antibiotics. Neither has anything to do with STDs necessarily. I am hoping they did a urine analysis, hopefully also urine culture? Doctors should offer follow-ups for free in my opinion. Very frustrating. Try to avoid lifting heavy weights, straining and masturbation for a couple of days and let us know if it is getting worse or better. You may need more than 10 days of antibiotic therapy or a different antibiotic. Or a different doctor ! smile All the best.

      well he said its a "virus" idk why , i asked him what kind  he answered with " its common virus everyone has it" and i did both urine analysis and culture, and he gave me antibiotics acoording to the culture test. the reason that wont be follow up i guess cause he was sure it will cure it plujs hes booked for 2 months in advance and hes kinda cheap.. 

      i'm kinda on no fap (15 days) mission but i reclapse 2 days ago LOL. but im on it again hopefully for long time

      after 3 days i will do another free urine analysis to see if the UTI cleared out

      lol...15 days - give yourself a break. check back every 2-3 days and you should be fine! smile See how the swelling is after 2-3 days. Let us know.

      hey, i had an appoitamt today , the doctor saw the perineum said there was nothing and asked if i experince any pain and nothing, so he told me not to worry about it. we did urine analyisis and the result will be tommrow .

      can this be something else?

      can "painfull erection when closing my auns," be a symptom of UTI or infection ?

    • Posted

      I did and he said nothing about it, my UTI is clear, I don't havedifficulty urinating anymore, only discomfort during bowel movement " might be Constipation"   , let me rephrase what happen during my bowel movement, during it my penis will get erection " no pain" i just see my penis gets full erect , then when i close my auns i feel major discomfort or minor to medium pain " different from time to time"  

      i adapted new healthy diet , started walking again which i think helped abit with my bowel movement

      ...this is why you needed a urologist... well let's see how it goes over the next few days. Hope it is nothing and resolves itself naturally.

    • Posted

      it was urologist. kinda sad tho,  he checked perineum and said there was no lump or anything to fear also no pain down there. i serached the whole internet didn't find a single case like me. UTI cleared out 5 days ago, 

      the only thing left is this thing
