I have a feeling I'm going to regret this, because it will be a bunch of chatter and little practical responses, but what the hell.

Situation:

38
Married 3 years
Haven't stuck it in any strange pie
Would bet everything just short of my own life that she hasn't been creeping either

Was at the in-laws for thanksgiving yesterday.  Ate and then proceeded to consume lots of beers.  I noticed, faintly through the beer buzz, that it was getting unpleasant in the general groin area, and even worse when I peed (Which I was doing a lot).  The day before I'd done a lot of wide-stance squats, adductor/abductor work and crunches at the gym, and had involved myself in a marathon snow-shovel situation when grampa got stuck halfway in the road.  I just chalked it up to having pulled a muscle or something.

As the night wore on, it got worse.  I was still chalking it up to muscle soreness even though I could feel it in the boys and the peen itself a little too.  MrsKAB85 and I went home, she was frisky, I wasn't as much but I was sort of curious as to what might be going on.  I figured I'd go with it and if anything super nutso was going on, either it wouldn't work or I'd experience some craziness when go time came around.  I still felt the overall soreness/weirdness but everything "came out as expected".

Today I'm at the shop, and oh boy is it worse.  I'm actually cringing thinking about the concept of peeing, it's taking a while to get it flowing, and it's pretty painful right in the johnson when I do go.  Been pushing fluids anyway trying to keep stuff moving.  Been WebMD'ing around and it seems like there's a handful of options: STD, UTI, Prostatitis.  The one it seems to match the most is the UTI, but they're really rare.

I've got a bunch of Cipro and Doxy around and I plan to take as I've found directed.

Part of me doesn't want to spend the $ at the doc, that little .1% of me that's all wants to go just to make sure it's not something in the STD variety.  It would be a shame to have to dig a hole this time of year with the ground frozen and all, but you know.  The question becomes:  Will the Cipro and Doxy take care of it regardless of origin (STD or UTI), or if an STD will it require more?  If STD's take more -- That's cool.  I'll run the stuff I have and hope for the best.  If they'll clear it all up, I'd rather go to the doc and hear what the scoop is before destroying the evidence!

I really hope this doesn't turn epic.  I'm really hoping for a non-interesting outcome here.  *fingers crossed*

Can guys get a UTI?

Yes...

OP:  Are you dehydrated?  You mention a lot of physical activity and a lot of alcohol, but little WATER.

Yes.

Uti, I'd put money on it.


Clean your junk yo.

Sure, bladder/UTI infections happen in men, they tend to be less common then women though. [+1 for "outies" over "innies." ]

yes


op has one

I am not a doctor but based on the symptoms you have conveyed I am pretty sure, no make that positve that your junk is dying and will
fall off soon. In order to save the rest of you just

Yup, happens all the time.  Drink a glass of Cranberry juice.  Problem solved.  It could also be a small Kidney stone.  My bet is prob a UTI though.

Booze and Dehydration seem to bring them on

ETA: Seriously I get them from time to time usally 1 glass of cranberry juice and my next whiz is pain free.  Sometimes it takes 2 glasses.  I get one once or so a year.  Typically in the summer from working out at noon in the FL sun on blacktop and going home and drinking

I had an UTI a few years back when I was 27...  went to the docs and they said I had some kinda STD so it freaked me out and I ended up pissing in a cup.  week later i got the results and sure enough a UTI.

doc gave me some pills and it cleared up in a week

dig hole in summer and keep it covered..( just planning ahead)
but you need to go give a a Urine sample to your DR. they can test and treat as needed, dont F around with your health. UTI although rare for men now a days are very serius..

Get to a doctor.  Don't just start taking meds, hoping something works.

Before starting an ARFcom/ or real-life witch-hunt, go seek advice from a "real" medical professional.

Not trying to be an ass, but that's real advice.

You have Kate's Hoof.
Google it.

Mine burns a swell but I got a stent Wednesday  from having kidney stones busted up lol..... You may be passing a small stone and not know it That's how I know im passing one it burns for a day or so and my nuts hurt a little if not dibs on guns ammo and optics

Is your urine dark or cloudy? Does it have an abnormal odor?

I went to the dr for what I thought was a uti.  Turns out I'm diabetic

Check the taste and see if you notice a difference from normal.

I got a UTI earlier this year from salmonella poisoning. Had the docs stumped, trying to give me every STD test they had.

This thread is about men's junk.

Is it?

Get tested (giant Qtip will be shoved down your pee hole).  

See if bear grylls will drink it. He will give you a proper diagnosis.

SERIOUSLY:  Drink some Cranberry Juice then if it does not help go see a DR.  Cranberry juice should help in an hour or 2

Had a friend who had the same pee-burn scenario (minus the heavy exercise). He went to the doc and had bladder cancer. Pretty sure that's not it..but go see a doc!

Stop posting medical questions on a gun website and go see a doctor, for goodness sakes.

You need this guy to grab your junk:

He's dead Jim.

Last time that happened to me I took a Z-pack all at once and the problem went away.

But I think someone gave me something

yeah a glass of cranberry juice will take out a UTI pronto.

What you did there...us old guys saw it.

Stop dicking around on internet posts and go see your Doc.  Lay off the meds that aren't prescribed for this.

This. I work at a Nursing Home and we give our residents cranberry juice when they have UTIs and it works.

Piss Prophets...

"And then there was taste, also a very critical part of the analysis. One of the rare instances in which uroscopy was dead-on came in diagnosing diabetes by a sweet taste to the urine. In 1674, English physician Thomas Willis (1621-1675) was the first in modern medical literature to observe this relationship. He may have enjoyed the sampling process a little too much, stating that the pee on his palate was "wonderfully sweet as if it were imbued with honey or sugar." His taste test led him to add the term "mellitus" to this form of diabetes, from the Latin word for honey. Ancient Arab, Hindu and Chinese texts also have anecdotal reports of the same sweet taste in urine from patients who displayed the symptoms of what was later termed diabetes."

You can most likely get an doc to prescribe Pyridium over the phone for temporary relief.

Whatever it is, the Doctor has bad news for you!!  Rofl.


+1 vote for stones.

Pyridium is available OTC...no need for a Rx.

You need to pee in a cup to rule out various bacteria. Randomly taking antibiotics if you don't need them can result in bad stuff. I've had cdiff for 8 months because of too many antibiotics. You don't want it.

Dibbs on guns and ammo, and dag if you have one.

Had an uncle with a similar problem.



He was pissing out kidney stones that was cutting him on the inside when urinating. Talk about pain.

I have Internet diagnosed this as Hong Kong Dong.

The only medical treatment is amputation, but don't let them do it.


It will fall off by itself in a couple of days.

An international jet set playboy, visiting the Far East, had been dipping his wick in too many pots, he came down with a terrible STD.  Swollen, purple, dripping pus, very painful.  He went to a western doctor for an exam.  The doc informed him he'd have to cut it off.  Horrified, the playboy went for a second opinion with another western doctor; again he was informed that the peener would have to be cut off.  A third doctor told him the same.  Desperate, he went to an asian folk doctor and let him examine the crank.   He told the folk doctor what the western docs had said, that it would have to be cut off.  The folk doctor laughed and shook his head, and said, "Oh, that so silly.  We no need to cut it off.  One week, two week, it fall off all by itself!"



ETA: Dang it, beat by 60 seconds!  

 

Fuck the doctors.  You couldn't have come to a better place for medical advice.  BTW  -  tomorrow morning you will wake up dead.   bye

: But you are in the bed. That's how you wake up dead in the first place fool!

Shitloads of pure cranberry juice and shitloads of water...



If it doesn't get better soon, see a doc for antibiotics cause that shit can spread.
And UTIs are not all that rare.

Yeah, not a joking matter.



 

 

It doesn't always work.



 

Buy the UTI/urinary pain relief pills at the pharmacy. They will make your pee very orange, but they will definitely make you feel better. Doctor would probably prescribe 3-5 days of cipro.

Same relief for prostatitis, except you'd need abx two to three weeks.
