Urethral pain, Specifically Localized
I have been experiencing dysuria for the past 5 months. It is localized in one specific spot, about an inch from the tip of the penis. There is no pain anywhere else in the urethra. I did have unprotected oral sex about 7 months ago, but a urinalysis showed no UTI and no Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. I do not have any discharge. My urine has been markedly darker lately but I do not drink many liquids throughout the day. Is it common to have specifically localized urethral pain?

Hello,
In absence of any urinary tract infection, your symptoms may be attributed to BOO (Bladder Outflow Obstruction) due to an enlarged prostate, or a swelling or infection in your urogenital system. It may also indicate a non-benign condition (such as a tumor of the prostate or other urogenital organ). So, I suggest that you consult your treating doctor, and if needed, a General Surgeon/Urologist for further evaluation,
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
