Swollen urethra.

Over the past year(s), I've noticed my urethral meatus is swollen and red - most notably on the right side. No other symptoms are present. I had the STD tests done, and a seperate blood test and urine test and they all came back negative. Here are some pictures, any ideas?

    Hey mine doesn't look as bad as yours but after 3 months of constant irritation and inflammation and unless steroid creams and yeast creams my doc has put me on 100mg of Doxycycline for 21 days. I'm on day 4 and already noticing a huge difference. This drug cures all bacterial infections from urethritis to prostitis to sti. I had a swollen and irritated urethra and burning at the tip after urinating as well as a sore urethra when touched as well as clear discharge. I would ask your doctor about running a course of doxy. I'm sensitive to meds and this one is very mild. Cheers!

      Yes I did negative for everything. My doctor didn't want to put me on any medication until I told him about the clear discharge. I'm still getting flare ups which started a couple days ago which brings me to believe it's yeast. I'm going to try antifungal cream and salt baths and see if that helps. I still have the rest of doxycycline to finish as well.

    Hello there,

    Thank you for your feedbacks, at least that help to find out solutions anyway.

    On my side, about doxycycline, that's make 3 months i'm getting 100mg per day. I can asume that i'm less tired than before but this didn't cure the pain, disconfort and athrophy that seems still to progress. So I can't say if this help in my situation.

    To be noted that my condition seems to be relieved when I remove the foreskin.

    Again for those who cure this condition please take 2 min to share it on this discussion. Many thanks and wish every one to recover..

    Did any of you have more of an urge to urinate with your irritation?

    Mycoplasma genitalium!!!! I’ve had the same thing for years, all tests negative and then I went to a specialty STI Clinic and they swabbed me for this and sure as s**t it’s positive. A week of moxifloxacin 400mg should remedy the situation! GET THIS OUT THERE, as doctors are ignorant of this!

      Your comment made me want to reply. You are absolutely correct. However in my case it was Ureaplasma. First round of doxy for 14 days didnt cure it. I will be testing again and probably on more antibiotics and then starting pelvic floor therapy.

      I have the same thing guys. As you may have seen, I posted a month ago. 

      Mycoplasma genitalium antibiotics didn’t do a damn thing. 

      I ran all std tests and all negative.

      Went to a lab yesterday and gave them my semen since it’s all related to the penis anatomy so tomorrow I will have my results back with my conclusion.

      Hope everyone’s well.

      Will save this post to update thread tomorrow

      Nothing fellas, these guys came back empty handed. They inspected the semen and found  it to be clean.
