What is going on?

Hi all,

I had a urine test done and found to have an infection. My pain started on 29/04/23. I had burning and pain whilst peeing. This lasted almost a week. Meatus was red and inflamed.

First test was on 06/05/23

Trace of blood from urine chemistry, WBC 36, RBC 5, positive for bacteria, mucus thread and pus cell.

Given doxycycline and ciprofloxacin for 10 days.

Next test was on 22/05/23

Still trace of blood, WBC 1, RBC 6, positive for mucus thread and bacteria.

Experience sharp pain near tip of penis and penis head. Intermittent through out.

Next test was on 03/06/23.

Everything came back negative.

Till date I’m expediting sharp shooting pain around my head of penis and sometimes meatus.

Did a full STD screen and all was negative as well. In this few months I have gone to my doctor more than 15 times and I’ve spent so much money.

If my urine is cleared and negative. What could be a possible reason why I’m experiencing such discomfort continuously.

I would have to constantly adjust my underwear when the pain comes. It’s mostly on the left side of my penis head. And when that happens I also feel a tingle on my left big toe. My doctor is also puzzled by this.

I told him I have never experience such prolonged discomfort in my life.

Sometimes the pain can be near the bladder area as well. I really don’t know what’s going on and it’s been almost 3 months. The pain just doesn’t want to go away.

HELP!

My suggestion would be to do Urine Culture again. UTI in men does not go easily, it's reoccurring. Urine culture will give you which antibiotic to take. You will need to take antibiotics longer, 3 weeks atleast.
