I am a 29 year old male, healthy, single.
3 years ago I came in contact with genital warts, went to my urologist and he didn't see anything. Then I started to date someone else and she got warts. Went back to the urologist and he didn't see anything but decided to look with a scope at my urethra. He went all the way up to my bladder while he was there. He said all was clear, but he did notice some "calcifications from a chronic urethritis" He didn't make a big deal about it or even tell me to follow up. Ironically, a month later I saw a bump, went to my dermatolgist, was treated a few times and was given the all clear.
Its always bugged me and I want to clear my mind. My concern is that I have never had a urethritis that I am aware of. I did have a kidney stone 5 years ago. I have also had prostatitis, but never urethritis that I am aware of.
I do deal with anxiety that I try to manage via exercise, diet, etc. I drink a lot of water ever since I had a kidney stone, so I do urinate frequently. My doctor said frequent urination can also be part of anxiety if I don't really have to go.
So my questions are:
1) Can I have a low urethritis and not know it?
2) I read in some of your responses that you have never seen urethritis lead to a stricture, but do the calcifications mean trouble ahead for me? Could they go away on their own over time?
3) I have no issues urinating, strong flow, etc ... but I am not sure if I am suppose to be concerned about possible stricture, if I am suppose to do something about calcifications, etc.
Thanks
