Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I was riding a pillion four to six times a week. Four months back, I started getting this chafing feeling against my penis where it felt like my penis would fall asleep and tingling in my butt and toes. I then began to have this for a few days at a time. I have had some dripping after urinating. Then, a week or two later, I had some hip and testicle pain on my right side. I have had past kidney disease and membranous nephropathy, which is cured. I am diagnosed with hypertension. Complete blood count (CBC) and metabolic urine contain traces of blood and bacteria. The nephrologist was not worried. I have had a post-drip after urination for a few years now.
I spoke to a doctor who prescribed Levofloxacin for ten days. I have epididymitis in my right testicle. I had tested negative for chlamydia, gonorrhea and trichomonas. Ten days later and a week after treatment, all symptoms remain. My CBC (complete blood count) blood work and my metabolic panel came back normal. I am unsure what to do or what this could be. The pain extends to the right testicle, right groin area, penis tip, and occasionally a shooting pain down the right leg. I have had a fixed drug reaction that caused lesions all over me from NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), including my testicles and penis. I have had no bumps. I do have some light-dark patches on my penis head, but those have been there for the most part. A few are new but not blister and have been there for months. Growing up, I had a right testicle swell and went to the hospital. They did not find anything wrong. I was eight years old. Also, I had hip pain on the right side that would not go away. I am currently taking Lisandro.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have read your query, and I can understand your concern.
I checked the image, and it looks normal (the attachment removed to protect the patient’s identity). Considering your history, you must check for an X-ray or MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) spine. Your symptoms can also be due to spondylitis and not related to infection. It can be a nerve compression that supplies your legs and penis, giving you these symptoms. Regarding skin rash, kindly share images.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Thanks for the reply.
Would this spine issue cause a post-urine drip? When I urinate, it does spray sideways sometimes. I have no back pain, penis tip inflammation, and right hip and testicle pain. I just wish I could get this to go away. I am just paranoid. It seems better in the mornings after I wake up, and during the day it starts roaring back. It is chronic and Levofloxacin did not work. CBC (complete blood count) and the metabolic panel are normal, which is frustrating. The penis tip has not changed and is inflamed.
Please help.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I have read the query, and I can understand your concern.
The nerve comes from the spine and supplies the penis and urine bladder. If there is an issue in the spine, you can get urine problems like dribbling, considering you already did all other local tests. Spraying sideways is an issue not related to the spine. Yes, if you start anti-inflammatory medications, it will go away. If Levoflox (Levofloxacin) does not work, start tablet Uribid 100 (Nitrofurantoin) twice a day after food for seven days.
Consult a specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medication.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.

Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply.
Attached are today’s laboratory reports, along with an ultrasound. What are your thoughts on it all?
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
The report (attachments removed to protect patient identity) suggests it can be due to:
1. Kidney stones - need a CT (computerized tomography) scan of the abdomen to confirm.
2. Urinary infection - need urine culture to confirm.
I suggest you to:
1. Drink adequate water.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food.
If possible check with a urologist or nephrologist in person.
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you need some help.
Thank you.

Hi doctor,
Thanks for your reply.
Is that what the ultrasound report says? I do not understand anything they said in the ultrasound report. I have a follow-up with a nephrologist in a few weeks about it, but I do not understand any of the ultrasound. Are you able to elaborate on it? Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I can understand your concern.
Your report (attachment removed to protect patient's identity) says:
There is filling swelling in your kidneys, which will not be harmful unless the size is rapidly increasing. You need to recheck the ultrasound after six months and compare the size of the cyst. There can be stone, but it is not obstructive; it can be a small stone. It can be found by doing a CT (computerized tomography) scan.
I hope that you get your answer.
Please let me know if you need some help.
Thank you.
