Red bump inside meatus and painful urination

Posted , 5 users are following.

Hi, I have been suffering from swollen meatus and prostatitis since over a year. Have taken multiple antibiotics (Bactrim, Levofloxacin, Cipro, Meropenem, Doxycycline, Azithromycin) and Fluconazole but none helped to fix the meatus swelling. Prostatitis issue has been managed 80% after 5 weeks of Meropenem. But there is no light at the end of the tunnel with the urethral swelling. It causes pain in urination and often double stream that sprinkles to much extent. Pain and swelling on the meatus gets worse with masturbation or sex.

I had unprotected anal sex multiples time with a girl during March to April 2018 prior to onset of these symptoms. Initially it was just redness on the meatus which did not cause any issues with urination then I started having prostate pain and scrotal swelling also. Have been to multiple urologists, dermatologists and also an infectious disease specialist but there is no way out of this. STDs tests were clear for HIV, Syphills, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea. Urethral swab showed E. Coli in April 2019 after which I was given 6 weeks of Meropenem since doctor suspected that prostatitis was due to E. Coli and other antibiotics were all resistant. Then, after eight weeks beyond end of Meropenem uretrhal swab showed growth of Klebsiella Pneumoniae with sensitivity to Cipro. Currently on Cipro for one week but no definite improvement in meatus swelling. Due to extensive antibiotics I also developed fungus on glans for which I was given Fluconazole for 8 weeks since Meropenem ended. Please let me know if you can relate to it and what worked for you. Photo of inside of meatus is attached. What does it seem?imageimage
