Red zone / rash urethral duct
Posted , 55 users are following.
Hi!
I have been struggling with unclear symptoms and visited 3 urologist and 1 dermatologist. I have done many tests for STD´s have take Azithromycin , Metronidazole, Ciprofloxacin without yet an accurate indication of what is it. Doctors differ on what to do, but mainly my discomfort is itching and burning. Sometimes (hours) goes but it comes back. I had sexual partner more than 1 month ago and the redness started 5 days ago and didn´t test till today from herpes. Does someone has had something similar ? Thanks

Hi na91380, thanks for your answer.
In my case it doesn't hurt or bother at all, It's just there. As someone said on this forum, maybe my meatus was always like this, I had never looked inside it until the lymph nodes appeared… It doesn't even look red with the naked eye. But in the photos you can see how I have shown you. Maybe it's just irritation or a sore caused by stress, but as I told Greg, I think I have had chlamydia, or a bacterial infection and this redness has been caused by it or by the stress of the situation. Hope to hope to clear it up in a few days.

The point is that in my case it has never hurt. No pain or stinging or itching, just that red area, sensation after urinating that a drop was left in the duct and the lymph nodes in the groin. Maybe the redness always was there, I don't know, maybe it appears for the same reason that the lymph nodes grown or maybe for the stress. I hope get my test results on Monday or Tuesday...

Any update on this situation? I have the same problem and I am no sure if its in my head or not. My meatus looks just like the pictures you posted and not sure if it was always like that or there is something actually wrong. You ever find out what it was and solution? Thank you

I understand it seems to be an infection. Try over the counter infection creams. As its open skin it will heal over time. Sometimes it heals by itself, i think you should give it a few days and keep checking for improvement.

wow Ronnie, I hope this is the end of the road and you find a solution with this treatment. If not, the good news is that you are ok and it must be something psychological.
Take care and update as soon as you finish.
Cheers

Hi Alex,
Hope you are doing better.
In my case there is no itching, just burning sensation from 1 to 10 I would say 3. Also in my case some times goes and some times come back during the day. When I go to pee is the most intense time and after that too. When I sleep there is no issues. I have been without pain at all since 3 months. I know it will come back some time, but for now I am pain free. Also at least where I live there is a pill that you should ask your doctor if it fits to you: Flavoxato Clorhidrato 200 mg. Its not an antibiotic is kind of a pain killer. I repeat, I wont recommend a pill without prescription, I only mention it for you to share it with your doctor and for him to recommend it or not.
One of my conclusions is that the more I accept it, looks like the less sensation I do have. So for now my suggestion is as soon you end the rally visiting doctors, doing exams, taking pills, looking inside your penis, struggling in health anxiety, consider believing you don't have anything "serious" and start accepting.
Let me know.

Hi Rey,
In my case comes and goes. Usually after sex comes, stays for a week or so and then goes away. As I have said before, avoid touching and looking. Anyway I have no certain clue what it is.
Hope you get better!

Hey Greg!
Do you have also pain under your belly and when you pee? The symptoms starts to inflame after i'm sexually active. Have you done a cystoscopy?

Hi ReySmith,
No I don't have precise pain under my belly. After peeing there is a burning sensation. It last minutes some times and in other no problem at all. Sometimes I am for months fine, even having sex, and sometimes come back, but always after sexual encounter.
I visited again my urologist made the typical exams for STD, Urine, Antigen, etc., and everything came negative. Inclusive I did some of those twice. He said he believes is something inflammatory regarding sexual activities or muscular, he doesn't observe infection. Also since I produce kidney stones I sometimes believe it could be associated to this. I haven't done a cystoscopy since the Dr. said there is no need to do it in my case.
Really is very disappointing to not have a precise diagnostic, but at least is good to know is not something so bad....
Greg

We have exactly the same problem and symptoms. Doctors also believed it was kidney stones, but after testing so much and doing ultrasound and CT tests, it can't be kidney stones. I believe we have a chronic problem called interstitial cystitis. I remember when my symptoms flared up (pain under belly and pain when peeing), i got antibiotics for cystitis. Pain when peeing went away but the pain under belly was still the same. Now when I think about it, I masturbated a lot while taking the antibiotics. But right now, I get mild pain the entire day when peeing if I masturbate and tomorrow it's gone.
The first symptoms started some days after sex. I tested for absolutely everything possible multiple times, everything came back negative. I also got pain in the testicles at that time. The symptoms lasted for one and half month.
Later after 3 months without any symptoms, the symptoms flared again while I was masturbating. This time it lasted for two months. As you say, the symptoms flare up when we have sexual activity. I don't really think it is because of muscular problems. In our case, I really believe it is either interstitial cystitis or infection.
