Hello Grace,
For the past 4 years I've been experiencing severe dull irritating pains on the underside of my penis. My urethra is constantly irritated along with my scrotum and lower stomach. My penis and scrotum area appears to be very red in color with NO signs of sores. Now, I've been experiencing these symptoms everyday for the past 4 years. Some days is worse than others. RARELY do I NOT feel discomfort. It appears when I sit down for a period of time it gets really agitated. I've been to several doctors and one stated possible yeast infection, my urologist stated possible swelling of the prostate. Now, since that 4 year period, I've been experiencing tongue problems. My tongue sometimes feels like it's on fire. I can feel it coming on and when I wake up in the morning I notice these red patches on the left side of my tongue. These patches have a white ring around them that gets bigger throughout the day. I've been to 2 dentist and 1 oral surgeon and all stated it appears to be geographic tongue. Oral surgeon prescribed me Fluocinonide .05 creame (helps the burning). It's really ironic that I've been experiencing these symptoms around the same time. The 2 times I've seen the urologist I pee in a cup and all is well. With the red burning sensations in my private area the nurse practitioner prescribed me 21 day Cipro 500, 2 times a day (no help) also prescribed me flomax because I had urine that remained in my bladder after using the restroom (the flow is better). However, I still feel this irritating pain to my bottom section of my shaft, urethra, testicles and the bottom section from behind the testicles to the anus. What's really crazy is that it sometimes feels better during the course of the day. I am to my wits end and need your professional opinion. This is really driving me up the wall. Do you think it could be an STD that remains a constant discomfort for almost 4 years (damn near straight) with NO signs of sores just red. Could it be allergy? Allergic reactions? I sometimes feel like I'm not with it mentally. Very worried......
