Imagining Symtoms(symptoms)

Dear Docter,
Thank you for your response on 2/12/99. I not sure what you mean
about somatoform disorder. Could you further explain this?
I have been experiencing these symptoms in my urethra and
testicle since early July, I am now in my 8 month. As I stated,
I have been trying many things to reduce and better manage my
anxiety and stress levels, and it has been working. My symtoms (symptoms)
have greatly improved. I am certain that when I am over stressed
and anxious the burning and aching in my urethra and testicle
intensify. But stress and anxiety can not be the cause.
The doctors have found nothing anatomically wrong with me to this
day. I'm still am experiencing discomfort especially after I
urinate or ejaculate.
I am continuing to follow up with my doctors however, Im starting
to feel a bit uncomfortable. I feel as if they don't believe me.
Should I express my concerns to them about this?
Doctor, I am a very stable person and I feel that there is no way
that I am imagining this. A person knows their body and I know that
something is definitely different about mine.
Thanks again for your response.
Chris
