Retrograde Urethrogram

Good morning Sky.  I had to look this up because I did not know what this was.  If it was me I would not do it.  Like you say there are to many things that can go wrong.  They you end up with more problems.  I know your taking meds and they seam to be working but looking at the results of the other test.  There are a lot of men on here that would like the same results.  To be it seams like your going to the bathroom good.  Just be careful what you get talked into.  Ken 

Thank you Ken for the advice. After a lot of thoughts I have cancelled my imaging appointment. I need to search if there are non-catherter based urethrogram available near me like mentioned on this facility's website:

They say, they don't use catherters or needles. 

HI Sky,

I had to look it up too. I googled Retrograde Urethogram painful and found a thread on patient. The guy said that he had stricture in his uretha that required surgery. Has anybody tried a catheter on you? How old are you? Is your prostate enlarged? Your test results are pretty good if you are thirty or so. If you are sixty they are really good. What was the reason that you visited the URO?

Hi George

I am 33. No catherter on me yet. My prostate is normal in the ultrasound sonograpgy. The reason i visited uro was continuous burning n pain at the tip of my penis with frequent urination. I am in third month now. Although I am feeling 90% better something is still wrong. Like I get pain in penis out of nowhere. The pain sometimes goes away in a minute or sometimes it stays for several hours. My erection is painful slightly. Masturbation is not comfortable at all.

The reason I want to avoid Retrograde Urethrogram is that the procedure involves inserting catherters through the penis opening.

Hello George and Ken, the std tests were done three weeks after the last sex. hiv, syphilis, hsv, chlamydia, hcv, HbsAg, all came back negative / non-reactive. Urine culture and urine routine are done three times in 2 months. No bacterial growth found each time. An ultrasound sonography shows normal prostate. 136 cc residue retains after voiding, the urologist said this is the reason of my symptoms. However, what is the reason for retained urine even after urinating as shown in the findings of sonography is not yet diagnosed and the Uro says the Urethrogram imaging will be helpful in finding the causes. I visited imaging department of a bigger hospital and the technician assured me it's a very simple imaging. Not painful but discomfortable. He also said, they don't inflate a baloon inside urethra but they do use catherter of 1 mm size.
