Question 1

what is the definition or description of: urethral pain?

Accepted Answer

Urethral discomfort.: The urethra is the tube that allows urine to exit the bladder and out the body. In men, it is also the passage through which semen travels. Pain in this structure is most commonly due to infections (stds or utis). It is often burning in character and often related to urination. Inflammation, stones, strictures, and bladder problems can also cause this bothersome symptom.

Question 2

can gallbladder cause urethral pain?

Accepted Answer

Never: The two issues are not related.

Question 3

can endometriosis cause urethral pain and burning?

Accepted Answer

NO: This sound much more like a urinary tract infection. Endometriosis will cause pelvic/abdominal pain and painful cycles.. Please see your GYN and get a urine analysis, culture and treatment for UTI.

Question 4

sharp urethral pain in penis + tip, no discharge although it feels like discharging sometimes with nothing coming out. hurts when i feel my penis.

Accepted Answer

Infection?: If you are sexually active, you need to be evaluated for an sexually transmitted infection by an physician.  Take care.

Question 5

can hpv cause urethral pain in men without lesions present? getting conflicting information and want to be certain. ive asked several doctors and been told no. thanks

Accepted Answer

Not HPV: HPV never causes pain, except rarely if large warts become infected. The "several doctors" you spok with are correct. (And didn't you ask this same question a few days ago? Same answer.)

Question 6

is bladder & urethral pain after a c-section normal?

Accepted Answer

Needs evaluation: 21 year old woman asking if bladder and urethral pain after a c-section is normal. The bladder is retracted during a cesarian section and the urethra is commonly instrumented as a foley catheter is passed. Thus pain may occur but can never be dismissed. Pain with urination indicates urethritis and suprapubic pain may be cystitis. DVT, PE, wound infection and UTIs after surg must be evaluated

Question 7

can perineum-urethral pain be symptoms of prostatitis, even when digital rec. exam, ultrasnd with urinalysis show nothing. what tests 4 confirmation?

Accepted Answer

2 vs 4 glass test: Urinalysis is not a 'gold standard' for prostatitis - the 2 and 4 glass test is very useful, and measures urinary bacteria levels from 4 points during a single voided specimen 1) first urine =urethral 2) second urine = bladder 3) post- prostate massage urine = prostatic sample, and 4) second post-prostate massage urine = prostatic sample

Question 8

how do i relieve urethral pain from having a cystoscopy ? it hurts and burn. pharmacy is closed so i can't get my meds

Accepted Answer

OTC medications: There are over-the-counter (otc) meds that can be purchased such as Azo standard (phenazopyridine) or Pyridium that can ease the burning.  Note that these meds will make your urine orange and can stain things.  It is also important to drink plenty of water and if possible, take nsaids like aleve with food.  It should clear up in the next 12-24 hours.  If it persists beyond that then contact your doctor.

Question 9

had urethral pain for 6 days but it went away. have had tingling in belly button and tip of penis for 3 days since the pain ended. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Maybe nothing...: Possibly urethritis (i.e. an STD), but probably not unless you also had abnormal discharge of pus or mucus. And urethritis would not be likely to clear up so quickly without treatment. Or maybe you passed a stone? Or non-STD urinary tract infection (very rare at your age). If  the symptoms do not return, probably nothing need be done. But see your doctor if pain returns or other symptoms show up.

Question 10

i have ic, feel my symptoms worse last weeks, i went to doc had cloudy urine. she gave me 3 day cipro (ciprofloxacin). i have a lot of urethral pain. cloudy meaning?

Accepted Answer

IC: Hello,Although cloudy urine typically indicates UTI, it definitely also occurs with interstitial cystitis. I hope you are under the care of a urologist for your IC. Best wishes to you for coping with IC. Good luck.
