Hello
About 6 years ago I started to have extreme discomfort, a feeling that I had to urinate very urgently, constantly and always felt like it would never finish. Over a short period this got a lot worse until I had very acute pain in my abdomen, and a very hot burning sensation at the tip of my penis. My doctor gave me anti-biotics and the severe burning went away (he diagnosed chlamydia) as did the pain all through my abdomen/lower back.
However the feeling that had been apparent before the really severe burning was still present, I felt like I could never finish urinating, it was like there was urine just staying inside the urethra near the tip and when I would try and stop it felt like I was going to urinate any second because of this feeling. When I would sit or stand when not urinating, it would feel like there was 'sweating' within my urethra. At this point I cannot remember for sure if there was any pain in my prostate, but I am feel strongly there wasn't any, I do just remember tensing it constantly because it felt like I was going to urinate at any moment. By this point I was very depressed and drinking heavily and not seeking further medical assistance. This went on for the next 5 years until I finally managed to get myself together and go back to a doctor.
Now my symptoms have changed, the exact same urethra feeling is there, but also my prostate hurts and sometimes feels its burning around there. The feeling in the urethra is very distracting, and I scored 31 on the NIH prostatitis symptom checker. A urologist gave an ultrasound of kidneys, DRE, and X-ray of abdomen, urine culture,tested for all std's and told me I'm fine, and now my GP doesn't think it's worth sending me to another urologist. I am in severe discomfort though, greatly affecting my life and ability to concentrate on anything because the pain and discomfort is there from the moment I wake until I sleep. Urethra feeling stays constant, prostate gets worse as the day goes on.
