Urethritis: HPV is not a typical cause for urethritis. Although chlamydia and gc common causes for urethritis there are other causes. Ureaplasma urealyticum can be a non std cause for urethritis. Other possibility would be allergy of some type.

Penis sensation: Our brain can produce all sorts of feelings in our bodies. Now that you have seen a uro and had several docs respond here you can look into alt therapies. Clinical hypnosis can be very helpful. See www.asch.net for a list of licensed pros who use this modality. Peace and good health.

Obsession: You may have asked this question multiple times. Give it six weeks, if you still have symptoms, see a different urologist.
