45 male. 3 weeks of constant feeling of urine in head of penis - pressure. Urinating is a weak stream but get brief relief. Some hesitancy. No burn when urinating or pain anywhere else. No feeling in bladder just in the head of the penis. Going to the toilet a lot. Started after masturbating. All UTI, STI test negative. Painkiller and anti-inflammation pills don't work. Going crazy with the feeling. No previous penis trauma or surgeries. Had no meds. Dr won't give antibiotics as now infection noted.
I meant NO infection noted.
If he is not going to give you something I would go to see another doctor. You may have a case of prostatitis. It ca affect the whole area. And going to the bathroom after you masturbating is normal. It is the body's way of cleaning the pipes. Try another doctor. Ken
You need to have your Prostate checked to see if it is abnormally large. I haven't seen all the symptoms you describe as a result of this nor the cause. However, some are very definitely related to an increase in it. You need to ask for it to be checked. The usual starting point is a digital rectal examination, crude, but a starting point. It might be worth having your PSE checked, another crude measure but again a starting point. The results of those will lead to a clearer direction to a proper diagnosis.
You might have OAB I went round he houses about 5 times with similar symptoms. (and one prostate op) Ask for Betmiga from your doctor.
Have you checked with your urologist about the use of a catheter. That might relieve the pressure.
Have you tried pushing a small quantity of 1% hydrocortisone cream down the hole at the end? Works for me when it happens
I don't have any other pain because the feeling to urinate all the time in my head. It's doesn't burn to pee in fact I get relief when I do. I thought 💭 prostatitis was pain in rectum, between balls and rectum and pelvic pain. I am seeing a urologist tomorrow to get results from ultrasound so will ask about rectal exam then.
What were your symtoms ??
I will ask me urologist tomorrow but I have no pain in the bladder. The constant urge to pee is in the head of my penis only.
Have taken some AZO today.. Feels better and stronger stream. I know it not a cure and I still need to find out what is wrong but def makes me think it bladder related.
PSE ? Do your mean a camera 📷 in the penis as I agree this would be worth while though I have thought this could cause scarring of the urethrea. I am getting results of ultrasound on kidney, bladder etc tomorrow and am assuming a prostate exam and camera 📷 up the pee hole 🕳️ while be the next steps.
A burning sensation as I went to pee
Ok 👌 thanks for the response. Mine doesn't burn. It more a constant pressure in the head like I have to pee all the time.
Quick Update - Renal Tract Ultrasound came back clear, no hydronephrosis, scarring or calculus formation. An 8mm exophytic cyst is noted on the right mid pole. Bladder contours are normal, no mucosal lesions visible and prostate is not enlarged measuring at 16.6cc in volume. Possible stricture in urethra so booked cystoscopy for the 28th. He will fix anything up there if required, talked about widening the urethra. Pain is still solely in the head of the penis, no burning on urination just some discomfort at the tip and in the urethra in the head (not shaft) after urinating at times. Has given alpha blockers in the meantime.
What was your outcome?
yes please what was your outcome i have the same symptoms. 3 months now, im going crazy with this. no infection, no std,, protate normal, had the scope which showed no issues in the bladder or urethra. I Feel urge to urinate in bladder, which is immediatly felt in my penis head. there is a sensation of pressure, and burning. The amount of urine does not justify the pressure, the pain, the burn
what was the outcome of your cystoscopy I am dealing with the same
Hey Miktek, i know it's been over a year since this post but i am going through exactly what you described. all infection tests come negative, urine test comes negative, yet i feel a constant feeling in the head like you described. please if you see this, let me know what you did. And if you ever found an answer. I am going crazy this is worse than pain, it's worse than anything. this feeling is just torture.
I'm also going through the exact same thing. please let me know if it stopped or if you found out what it is. this is such a nightmare and torture.
