Hey everyone , I've got a new (recourring) symptom that I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced. BTW, this is rather graphic, so if you are offended, I'm sorry. About 7 months ago, after anesthesia for minor surgery, the next day I developed a "burning/itching" sensation at the tip of my penis. I had no other symptoms (ie, dicharge, etc.) A couple days later I went to the ER, they did a urine test (all OK) and sent me home. Went to my Doc later in the week, he did another urine test, (all OK) and tested for STDs (all negative). So, he referred me to an Urologist. Got there, had a 3rd urine test (all OK) and described my symptoms, which, now along with the burning/itching, I was also experiencing pelvic "cramps". He said he was 99.9% sure that I was experiencing stess induced prostatitist(sp?). In fact, to quote him, "You're a text-book case". I felt he was very compasionate about my GAD/PAs and he said at this point in time there was no need to do some rather most "uncomfortable tests", and gave me a prescription for Flomax. That seemed to help, and after a couple months, I stopped taking the Flomax and things have been pretty good "down there". That was until last week when my oil tank for my furnace let go. So I had to rush and replace it (between work and the boys' baseball practice) which was quite a lot of stess on me! Now , the symptoms have returned! I started taking the Flomax again Monday, and I got an appointment with the Urologist June 1st. I HOPE things will be better by then! But as I stated earlier, I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced or heard of this condition?? Any thoughts are GREATLY appreciated, and if you've read this far, Thank You for taking the time to read this post! ;p
