I am suffering on my fourth month with an pain that has not properly been diagnosed before someone replies "you need to see you doctor" I want to let you know that I have visited 2 family doctors, 2 urologist, emergency room visit, dermatologist and more.
My main symptom is a pain in the middle of the head of the penis, with different reoccurring symptoms that are constantly changing.
Started out with blood in urine (3 days)
Extreme itching around penis, testicles and anus
inflammation of the tip of the penis
Color change on the head, red blotches
Itching around the anus, lower back pain.
Sometimes I see dark areas on the head of penis, other times it looks normal.
I am uncircumcised and the foreskin to me looks darker almost like an ashy color.
One doctor said it was urethritis another thought Balanitis, and the third Prostatitis. what makes it hard is that these were all visual diagnosis, I have begged pleaded and requested formal testing but they inform me that its not done… it makes it harder that my visual symptoms come and go and no discharge, rashes or growths
I have been given a whole slew of topical creams (which led to infection of the head (balinitis)
Been given Ciprofolaxin for a month with no results
Now i am on Doxycycline which targets another bacteria i guess…
Been tested for all STD's and all have been negative, my doctor physically checked my prostate (said it was normal), urologist scoped my bladder, I function 100%. and every time I schedule an apt my symptoms get magically better.
I am afraid my insurance is not going to keep paying for my claims and I have to make each visit work, but every time I go there the doctor doesnt even TRY!
What should I do? should i go to a MAYO clinic? I cant talk to these doctors prior to my visit so unfortunately they cant blow me off until I in the examination room and they charge my insurance 200 bucks!
Suggestions please would be greatly appreciated…
thank you.
If I were you I would go to a Mayo clinic and get a definitive diagnosis.
Does not sound at all like prostatitis.
