We all have this as is a normal bacteria and only becomes an issue it grows out of control. also i lives in the urinary track not the rectum and without any foul smelling discharges you can rule myco out.

If its a pulled muscle you can telll the doctor for something for pain and std,s would certainly show up on tests but remember that there would be a white puss charge with std infections. The camera may or may not show anything but i would start by stopping the weight lifting for now for sure.

oh thanks for ur help i appreciate, and i am on quite a lot of pain killers already... you talking about pain killer tablets or cream or ?

It would not show up a pulled muscle as it can be a small rip. Different type of wieght lifting would affect different muscles. i would stop squats for sure.

if it was a std what it show up in tests ?
my tongue has also been white for a very long time but i spoke to a few people and they said that could be from all the antibiotics i have been taking ?
and would u think its worth having the camera put in my rectum ?
ive tried stopping gym for a couple weeks but i didnt notice no improvements, do u think that wasnt long enough ?

mylcoplasma would affect your urethra not so much your anus

Also your sphinker muscle in your anus is connected to your penis and when you ejaculate you can feel it in both area so may youve pulled and injured the spinker muscle from lifting weithgs?

cos the burning is 247 through out the day really bad, do you think it could be this mylcoplasma people are talking about?

I say interior hemorrhids and is a reflex pain to your penis area. Lifting weights can put undo pressure on  already injured rectum nerves. Buring is a injured nerve symptom and blood on the paper is a sign.

yeah... good answer i like the thinking... but my question would be why did the azithromycin work when this problem first occurred then couple months later it came back... some one said coz they have anti inflammatory is this true?

Hi, with infections that are std related there is often a white puss discharge from the penis and with out that you can pretty much rule out any std,s or inections in the urethra area. Burrning in the rectum could be related to hemorrhoids with also could appear in your penis as all the nerves are connected. It could also be a prostate infection. You can have your PSA checked and if hight could also be a sign of infection but with all the med you took i can see any infection taking place. What age are you and have you ever seen blood on the toilet paper?

hi, i have had a PSA blood test done and its fine... i have seen a little blood on toliet paper but it was on one occasion... doctor has looked in my rectum and cant see nothing on the outside but looks redish. the discomort is quite bad and its everyday cos the discomort is in that area i cant really tell if its coming from my penis or rectum if u get what i mean.. i am booked in to have a camera put in my rectum soon
I do go gym and lift heavy weights but not sure if this has anything to do with this but i this discomort is really horrible and need some help ?
the urologist did take a semen sample and said they see an infection in my semen related to my prostate put me on one month treatment  of co amoxiclav which i have finished but still no improvment so im not sure if thats the cause of my discomfort
