Pain after urination
by the wizzard, Dec 15, 2003 12:00AM
Two days ago I urinated and it was very painful with a feeling of the pain moving up my urethra from the end of my penis.
Ever since then I have had a dull pain after urinating in my lower front abdomen. I also have a feeling as if my testicles are being squeezed and so giving me slight pain. What is wrong with me and what should I do?

Infection would be the most common reason why there would be pain after urination.
I would test the urine for infection as well as obtain urethral swabs for gonrrhea and chlamydia.
Prostatitis can also cause pain after urination. A digital rectal exam to evaluate the prostate and any prostatic secretions should be tested for. If negative, a transrectal ultrasound can be considered to evaluate for abscesses.
Non-infectious causes can include urethral strictures or polyps. They are evaluated via a cystoscopy that is arranged through your urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
