So just been prescribed Levofloxacin by the doctor after a phone call due to Covid situation. Having just done a bit of reading seems to have some potential nasty side effects, anyone have any experience with this antibiotic?
Did anybody else notice weaker ejaculations? Since I got this problem, my ejaculations became really weak, even if I wait for 6 days before mastrubating.
have you been tested fir stds yet?
yes, std free
I have used translator. I had similar problems a few years ago, when I got into trouble by using shower gels. In February this year I had sex with my girlfriend and there was an irritation of the penis after rubbing, my girlfriend is healthy, I used saforelle gel, but I did not give up so, the doctor also recommended to define it with Betadine, but since it contains iodine so I replaced with microdacyne woundcare60, but as I overdid it got even stronger inflammation, my penis started to burn, , sting, so I started urinating in Agrimonia eupatoria 30 minutes a day. the inflammation started to subside, but I forgot that it dries terribly, in a week it got worse, I even showed brown spots, then always after soaking I applied coconut oil, it also started to work, brown spots disappeared, burning and the splitting subsided. In the third week I tried to use Saforelle gel again and it started burning again, so I only wash it in clean water. in that third week I went to the urologist to look at it for me, but in the end I waited at the doctor for 5 hours before he took me and when he looked at it I had it included and nothing could be seen. he didn't even take a swab or dross from my penis. I continued 1time in a day after shower I had my penis dried for 15 minutes, then I soaked it for 30 minutes in the infused loose Agrimonia eupatoria tea, then I let it air dry again and rubbed it with coconut oil. I also wanted to try tea tree oil, I diluted i 2 drops in 30 ml of coconut oil, but then after about 90 minutes my penis started to burn, so I quickly went to the shower with lukewarm to almost sunken water, I cooled it down and than on dry it on air it for about 15 minutes to avoid complications. I also have oregano oil at home, but as it is also a strong oil that needs to be diluted, I did not take any risks and I have been using castor oil since Saturday. I also feel a slight burning after application. we'll see if it works for me, but I also see a little improvement. Regarding the urologist, I make call to cheif of urology and one of his doctor today has taken the swab or dross from the penis , so finally after a month from the start of treatment and 2 weeks after the first visit to the urologist, they took a swab from the penis and the results will be on Friday, I have aloe vera gel ready and the cream is a classic indulona in our country, which contains lanolin. We will see. Iwill posts results. And docotr also ask me if dont have diabethes. I dont have buth my mom has diabethes type 2. I like to eat sweet I'm already reducing it
ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THIS IS YET?
Jake, yes i have. mine used to shoot out and now it just flows out of the tip. sucks!!! have had this going on for about 2 months now.
hey guys, i have been dealing with this for about a year and its finally getting better (slowly). if youre taking propecia/finasteride or any hair loss drugs...stop! Finasteride caused this as well as many other terrible side effects for me. I stopped finasteride 5 months ago and I started intermitent fasting every day with a paleo diet 2 months ago. I also havent masturbated in 2 months (which hasnt been difficult cause finasteride stole my lobido). I dont know which of the above helped (maybe all). Im not sure exactly what the red triangle is at the top of penis but i think its some sort of nerve damage due to lack of blood flow/constriction. This seems to be caused by gut issues or cpps or both. There is no quick fix. If youre they did a scrape amd nothing came up its not a fungal infection. Get your gut right and solve this.
Agree this is definitely gut related. if i eat any sweets my tip starts burning straightaway its very weird. i thought food need time to digest .
quite honestly I think the majority of cases are fungal related but because most guys treat it with over the counter anti fungal creams and/or try everything that they read online it is hard to detect the fungal infection - a swab test will yield a negative result. In addition because of the various treatments the penile skin gets irritated. so in a sense you need to treat two conditions at the same time. Dermatitis and a fungal infection. I know because I have been there twice! Once i had it for almost 8 months and it made me go insane. i got tested 5 times. seen various doctors. it seemed that everyone was clueless. i tried everything that was recommended online. I also tried to give it a rest - meaning not self medicating for a while. But nothing worked. until i found this one doctor who examined me and concluded that it probably started with a serious fungal infection but since it was treated with various lotions, creams, etc it is impossible to tell but what he can say that it that the treatments caused massive irritation and hence I have developed dermatitis. what i got prescribed was diproderm 15,0 mixed with ultrasicc 15.0. i was told to put a very thin layer twice per day on the irritated area. i was specifically warned not to overdo it. And I would urge everybody to follow suit whatever their prescribed medication is. For me it worked wonders. After a week I was symptom free. Gone. two years later I noticed again a red patch on my penile area. I was very cautious not to overreact and self medicate. But it quickly became very irritated and very uncomfortable. Went to the dermatologist got the same cream as before. This time though it took almost 2 weeks to clear. It required some patience but it it cleared and has not returned since. I am positive that if your STD tests are negative the underlying cause will be fungal but skin irritation makes this a lot harder to treat.
Really tricky as could be a number of different causes and people could of course be suffering from very different issues. I swing back to bacterial due to the testicular pain but managed to catch up with the consultant who believes could be two separate issues and a UTI (not sure how common those are in chaps so not entirely sold). Evidently its perhaps going to be a different course of action that helps to resolve each individuals problems.
Yesterday a received the tests wich where all 3 swab from penis urethra negativ. Chef or urology told aplaying castor oil is good but i wil do this i will apply mix castor first and i put coconut oil, and must mention on tuesday i eat especially high dose of sweet and yestreday was my penis mor red in this location. I also start to drink alove vera 30ml dillute with water 3 time a day also orageno oil 1x a day 2 drops on a spoon with water. Maybe iwll use also salt bath i remember back few years i use this it help me we will see
I've got exactly the same symptoms too! it's been 5 months. Has anyone had a breakthough?
yes I've had this
Iam finally doing a sort of diet and exercise. stopped all the creams and did a fluconazol pill. Keeping it dry as often as I can. Ill update in a month but, for now, small improvements.
Iam still not sure if what i have, (which is a little different from OP. and more like TOM above (when its at its worse)), isnt HPV reaction. But likelly gut and candida also influence.
OP can also check Bowen disease, it sucks if it is, but its worth reading....
Balanitis is what we all have, the cause of it, that's the mystery.
I noticed by using castor oil that glans penis is litlle more irritation after shower yesterday evening cleaning in the water only was there more redness but after 30 min urination in leached Agrimonia eupatoria was better. I still see there also bearing bounded , urologist told me to use still castor oil but in the moment i would preffer to use coconut oil becose that was only oil without problems. I must also mention that i have immunological disease inherited from the father syndrom hyperimumology IgE. And I was recommended by urologist to high doses of vitamin c 3000 a day and secondly they told that maybe is a psychological problem in my head which turned me on properly. I will use from today only 30 min urination in leached Agrimonia eupatoria 1 time a day + coconut oil+ orageno oil 1 time a day 2 drops in 1dlc of tea not int the spoon+ i use propbiotics+ i drink aloe vera but not 3time a day 30ml since iam working i put in glass in the morning of tea 3x30ml mixed with tea. I've been urinating for a month in Agrimonia eupatoriaI still have 1 and a half boxes of this dried tea after then i will be urinating only in salt water+ coconut oil. Iatfetr than i will use only alove gel and then the last will be lanoline 100%.
Everyone here should try out tea tree oil. It may flare up at first but that is the oil working its magic, hold tight through the burn and then feel the cooling anti-inflammatory effects.
Also, try out some candida cleansing pills, sold at whole foods and other organic produce stores.
I would be very careful with tea tree oil. II know the case when person has used teatree oil his skin tightened from his glans penis and he must used bepanthen.When i tried it first i diluted 2 drops in 30ml coconut oil and after 90minutes its begin to burn extremly.The question is how to dilute properly tea tree oil with coconut or with olive oil.
man i just came upon this thread right now, im 19 and this has been happening for 10 months now and is annoying and affects my anxiety .I have the same exact symptoms . i feel like i developed mine in masturbation because i didnt not have sex anywhere close to when i got it. i have been masturbating since the 5th grade so i feel like that can mean something and i used no lube. Mine started out really painful for about 3 weeks until i used an ointment from the doctors for a fungus infection. It didnt heal it but it did subside the effects . As time went by i used many creams which helped the pain to where i dont really feel it sometimes but then i know its there. Now i feel a slight pain or weird sensation when i pee or ejaculate, its still red on some parts. it brings me down that i cant find a cure for this. I also smoke weed which sometimes irritates the symptoms a little more. i had to quit my last year of wrestling for this because i felt like it was getting in the way. i was planning to try aloe vera which is natural and works for bacterial infections so ill let you know if it works. i pray this goes away.
please can someone let me know if theres gets better. i hate that this is happening to me. Mine appeared out of nowhere but i was masturbating so i feel it was from that. Now i use a shampoo with aloe vera for ph balance on the penis from mexico and an ointment from mexico as well but still doesnt help. i live with the symptoms but they irritate a little but i still feel it and it has ruined my sex life as well. i switched my shampoo to unscented and sensitive skin . Let me know of anything
