Red swollen urethra male
Posted , 3 users are following.
A year ago I had sex after which my urethra became red (tip of penis), started within one day after. There is no pain, only sometimes I feel itching when urinating and some kind of discomfort. Also there is no discharge from penis. I have had multiple visits at doctors and they prescribed me:
500mg azithromycin a day for 6 days and simultaneously 100mg doxycyline twice a day for 7 days. Then I took tests for chlamydia (PCR), HIV, Gonorrhea, syphilis, HSV 1/2, trichomonas vaginalis, also urine tests for bacteria and swab for yeast infections - all negative. I did not give up and continued medication:
Protopic 0.1% cream, once at the tip for 2 weeks
Augmentin 1g (Amoxicilinum 875 + 125mg Acidum clavulanicum) twice a day for 2 weeks and simultaneously Fucidin cream
Bactrim Forte twice for 2 weeks
Metronidazole 2g for 2 days
None of the above helped. I have no idea what it can be and if it is any STD. There is no need to attach any photos because it looks just red like swollen and bigger than normally. Nothing else. I do not know if all possible bacteria have been killed, for example in case of Ureaplasa or Mycoplasma, but doctors say it does not look like any of these. Also azithromycin and doxycyline on many internet pages occur are anibiotics for these issues. I am aware that not all tests are reliable. I know there are other antibiotics like moxifloxacin and erythromycin but not sure if they can help. Anyone of you had similar problem and somehow resolved it?

Hi Harvey, you certainly have tried lots of things here to sort what it is that you have going on.
Has anyone suggested that this could be HPV related? If I remember rightly some one on here got a rather strange reaction on the meatus which is what I take it you are talking about. So the urethra is the tube that carries urine to the tip of the penis, and the outlet is termed the meatus.
Various conditions can effect the meatus itself, rather than the urethra (you could have a condition affecting both, of course). What I suggest you do is that rather than switching around from one Doctor to another is to build a working relationship with the one that you can trust most from the one's you have already seen.
There are two kinds of medical specialist that should be able to help you most with this: a Urologist should be able to get to the bottom of what you have going on, the other is a Dermatologist who specialises in Genital Skin disorders if you can find one in the region in which you live .....

The problem is that once a doctor finds the "easy" fixes in his toolbox don't work, he or she will shuffle you off to some other specialist. Doctors, like the rest of us, like "wins" and not "losses."
