Trich is possible, and can be tested for. If this is truly suspected, it can be treated with appropriate antibiotics.
Prostatitis can be considered, and a digital rectal exam with prostatic massage can be done. Any fluid can be sent for culture and analysis. A transrectal ultrasound can be done to rule out a prostatic abscess.
If infection is ruled out, anatomical abnormalities like a urethral stricture or polyp should be evaluate via a cystoscopy.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician or urologist.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
