Hi,
So, it is possible that there was a stricture, occurring as a consequence of the trauma. The fact that there is no further blood in the urine indicates that the break in the urethral mucosa is healing. This is a very crucial stage as formation of urethral strictures occurs as healing progresses, due to formation of scar tissue.
You will need to ensure that you keep the lumen of the urethra flushed frequently so as to avoid adhesions and the formation of a stricture. You will need to keep your fluid intake at the point were you need to pass urine every 2 hours.
Also, avoid sexual intercourse and masturbation for a week or so to give the tissues enough time to heal.

after that pop feeling, yes i have felt a little relief when i urinate. i pray this is the road to recorvery. i finally have an appointment with a urologist this week. i will definitely take your advise for fluid intake and vitamin c. and all day today i saw no noticeable blood in my urine. i will keep posted on results from urologist.
Hi,
If the pain in the penis subsided after you felt the popping sensation, it is possible that you had a trauma-induced stricture that has opened up and is allowing smoother flow of urine. This would also be marked by some relief in pain symptoms. As you are on antibiotics, it is unlikely that you could develop any infection from the break in the mucosa caused by the stricture(?).
Blood at the beginning of urination indicates that the source of bleeding is in the urethra or at the bladder outlet.
Prostatitis can also cause persistent pain in the penis and perineal region. This type of pain is intensified on sitting for prolonged periods or on hard surfaces. And prostate infections are usually not detected on routine urinalysis, but need specific investigations in the form of prostate fluid analysis, prostate ultrasound, etc.
Have you noticed a lessening of pain since the blood started appearing in the urine, or is it still at the same level? Ensure that you keep fluid intake over 2000 ml and try to acidify your urine with vitamin C-rich foods and juices. Vitamin C will also help in faster healing of any mucosal break, such as that in the urethra.

My results for chlamydia and gonorrhea came back negative. its been 17 days now and still having pain in tip of penis. today i went to urinate and i felt like some pressure at tip and then a felling of a pop and a straight stream of blood flowed. since, every time i urinate, i see a small amount of blood come out and then it turn to color of pee. went to er again and they gave a cat scan and took blood. have to see urologist for results hopefully next week. anyone have any ideas of what im going through? urine sample for uti also came back negative. and all this is still going on even after the er just treated me for std with rocephin and azithromycin to be on safe side. and this was weeks ago.
Hi,
It is possible that you have bruised the penis. If you have no other associated symptoms, such as discoloration of the penis, priapism (constant state of erection or semi-erection), etc., it is safe to assume that no significant injury occurred to the penis. Some amount of pain is possible after 7 days of mild trauma, but it would be very minimal.
It is possible that you could have an STD contracted through the oral sex. Organisms, such as N. gonorrhea, can cause simultaneous infections of the genital tract and the oral mucosa, if contracted from the same episode of contact. It is also possible that the infection could be due to other common organisms like streptococcus.
These organisms should be susceptible to the antibiotics you have been prescribed, but if you are not able to appreciate any significant change after 3 days of treatment, speak with the prescribing doctor and switch to another antibiotic, ciprofloxacin or norfloxacin.
Ensure that you complete the course of antibiotics and keep fluid intake over 2000 ml. Add citrus fruits and juices to your diet and avoid caffeine and alcohol while under treatment.
do keep us posted on your progress and any other doubts.
regards,
