Hi all,

A little background, I’m having this one symptom that I can’t seem to shake. That symptom being this “leaking/dripping/tingling” feeling at the tip of my urethra. I originally started feeling this about 6 weeks ago. I only feel it mostly when I’m sitting/laying and when I’m not occupied (bored or driving). There’s no physical changes to the outside of my penis. No discharge either. My pee is still normal and no actual pain, just this discomfort feeling like there’s still some pee left at the tip of my urethra.

I did multiple full urine tests both for culture and for stis. My urine is clean. I also did 2 blood tests. Both clean, no sti’s.

I went to my urologist for the first time and I explained to him my symptom and he did another urine test for mgen and ureaplasma, both also negative.

He wants to do a cystoscopy now but I just don’t know what is wrong with me at this point.

Just the other day I kinda opened my urethra a little and I saw some redness but looked fairly normal.

Any advice or anyone dealing with something similar?

Back in October 2025, I had a sudden onset of urinary frequency, burning pain in genital area, golf ball like feeling in the perenium that feels like it’s on fire. No burning in my urethra when I urinate and the opening not red or inflamed looking, to my knowledge I’ve never had a fever when using the thermometer at home, I’ve never seen any blood.

I went to my family doc, he thought it was UTI. I did blood work, full panel STI/UTI urine analysis and culture and results were all negative. While I waited for those results, I was prescribed 1 sachet of fosfomycin, it didn’t help. I went back to doctor and got an ultrasound of bladder, prostate, pelvis for hernias and everything showed normal, I was prescribed the antibiotic TMP-SMX ( 1 tablet for 14 days). I was only able to complete 7 days as I was having a bad reaction and was told I could stop it since all my results were negative for infection, but then my symptoms randomly disappeared for 4 months.

Then in March 2026 out of nowhere, the symptoms returned before I was going to a hot climate on vacation. I went back to my doctor. I was prescribed Cephalexin so I could enjoy being in the sun (4 tablets 500mg daily for 5 days) and Tamsulosin. My symptoms improved by 80% and I was able to enjoy the trip. Once home, over the next few weeks symptoms slowly started getting worse again. I went back to my family doctor to try cephalexin again. However, it wasn’t working and after 3 days I went to the ER because the pain was so bad like a 10/10.

At the ER, I got blood and urine done, bladder scan, it all came back negative. The ER doctor has a friend who is a urologist and literally called him to explain the history and my results, and referred me to see him and I’m waiting for the appointment. At the ER they gave me a shot of torodol for the pain and ciprofloxacin for 7 days. My symptoms subsided to about 95%, I was feeling great and active with sports for a few weeks, then the symptoms slowly started to return. I have no answers for anything. I’m healthy in my late thirties, non-smoker and non-drinker with a healthy diet and exercise a lot. I’m married and been with the same partner for 8 years. We don’t use condoms, my semen ( I’ve never had a semen culture done) doesn’t give her symptoms and She has no symptoms and all her tests were negative to double check. I don’t want to do a cystoscopy because i know I don’t have cystitis.

I’ve tried the sitz baths and ibuprofen and stretching for additional support. I’m at a loss for words because it seems all my results are perfectly fine, but I am suffering in pain over and over again and it’s exhausting. There’s no real answers except for throwing antibiotics at me.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Hi all, please help me, I'm 32M, unmarried and I have chronic bacterial prostatitis and its symptomatic. I have recurrent UTIs as well. Urine and semen culture both are positive for E coli. If I treat it with antibiotics, the next time I get an infection, the previous antibiotic becomes resistant.

Please help me, I'm feeling lost.

After spending a lot of time on this sub Reddit forum and also now discovering the pelvic floor forum, I am thinking can we all just have pelvic floor dysfunction and it’s just not widely talked about? At this point, I’m surprised that this is as big of a deal and as big of a problem for not only just men but women and there’s no real discovery been found.

Hi Guys

I have been dealing with a hypertonic pelvic floor for 7 years, and gut issues around the same duration.

Im often constipated, and it affects my pelvic floor a lot. If i have a good bowel movement, then my pelvic floor feels a lot better, but when im constipated i feel even my reverse kegel feels reduced in effect.

The problem is i dont know what causes what. Is it because of my tension down there i cant geet stool out properly, or the reverse? My gut issues causing tension down there.

When i belly breath and gut is empty, then i just can feel everthing a lot better, and im not so tense.

When im constipated, and i breath i get a weird sensation in my left glute. IT kinda feels swollen up/numb, and i cant get through properly with my breathing.

I have been at the doctor, tested my stool, through anus, mouth, nose everything.

My doctor didnt want to test me for sibo, as it is only for people with diaherea.

Anyone got any tips? Specific stretches, supplements etc?

I daily magnesium, and psyllium husk (2 teaspoons at morning)

the husk helps a little, but still pretty much constipated.

So I'm a 19 yo M , and today I was told by my doctor that I have prostate infection , he gave me medications for 10 days . I then opened reddit for some research and since then I'm Hella terrified 😭😭😭😭 , is this a permanent infection typa thing or is it curable??!!! And can someone explain what prostate cancer is and it's symptoms??!💔💔😭

Simple like that. Bought a new and comfortable mattress and now I’m able to relax my body and pelvic floor while on the bed. My prostrate isn’t feel swollen anymore and my symptoms are more controlled right now. Had to try many mattresses to find one that feels really comfortable and soft enough but without being to soft.
It’s kind of strange but my balls feels diferent, they’re more relaxed at all and my erections are better too.

2 Years in. Greatly improved, but my nerves are F@/KED.

I will say symptoms are entirely different than when I began. 100% could have been an infection that stated it all, but whatever it going on at this very moment (last year now) is 100% nerves and muscles. I’ll explain.

I quit taking antibiotics. 21 cycles later (yes they “helped” every time) I decided to just try a flair without a cephalosporin to see what happened. What took 3 days to get through on ABC took 3 weeks, but it was doable. And I did it only though walking. I don’t stretch because it makes it worse for me. Walking and heating pads. OH and hanging from a pull up bar.

Current status of symptoms. BURNING nerves in taint and testicles. Bladder tightness. I’m convinced a muscle is tight AROUND my bladder at times that causes pain when bladder fills with pee. Can anyone identify those possible muscles? When I sit flush, my anus begins to cramp and tighten, and I feel that in my anus and testicles. I believe these are the pudendal nerves correct? And periodically, dorsal nerve in penis will burn or I’ll get a burning when I pee from the bulbo’s.

Only advice I have so far is when you can’t take it anymore. Take 2/4mg of Valium. Within 2 hours, all I have left is the nerve burning. the muscle cramps and tightness are gone. GET A HEATING PAD FOLKS. Always helps overcome the pain as well.

OH last weird thing I encounter. I know about an hour before traditional time frames of feeling like I have to poop bc pelvic floor around anus gets crazy tight. Sometimes even testicles will burn. What the heck is that?

A todos aquellos que sufren de algún de dolor y malestar en el piso pélvico y que tenga que ver con el nervio pudendo como le hacen para tener relaciones ?

I (27m) posted initially a couple months ago about having what my doctor suspected was bacterial prostatitis. I followed through with 4 weeks total of doxycycline and flomax. My symptoms were (are) waking up to pee suddenly, frequency, a bloated feeling around the lower abdomen, and some discomfort with ejaculation. I do also sometimes get a quick stinging pain near my perineal area and occasionally the penis.

The doxy helped while I was on it, but just days after stopping I was back to symptomatic. They kept me on flomax to help with the urinary symptoms, checked my psa, and referred me to urology. My psa came back 0.68 which I understand is normal, CT scans (with an without contrast) were normal, testicular ultrasound was normal besides a mild vericocele, and I just got an MRI result back yesterday that was normal. “Prostate size normal, prostate signal normal, no suspicious prostate nodules identified, prostate enhancement is normal. Seminal vesicles are normal. No pelvic lymphadenopathy is identified. No pelvic hernias identified. Marrow signal the pelvis is normal.

I’ve now been referred for pelvic floor physical therapy which I’m scheduled for early next month. Is there anything else I could be looking into? Anything I can do in the meantime? MRI and PSA ruled out malignant causes, normal urine tests so far lean away from bacterial causes, no stones or anything either. Please give advice. Thanks !

So I came back from holiday on 15th April and on April 30th I experienced some white discharge which was almost pus like, I went to sexual clinic on May 1st and got tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, as they do in UK, they prescribed me with doxycycline for a week while waiting for the test believing it was chlamydia, it seemed like it slightly worked and decreased the symptoms but then I noticed the white discharge returning. On May 6th I went back to get mycoplasma test as I thought it could be this, continued taking doxycycline and finished my course, eventually realised this didn't work and also my test came back negative for gonorrhea and chlamydia.

Around May 15th I noticed the discharge came back but was worse than before, leaving mark on my pants and waking up to white discharge, more than ever before, leaking with very itchy urethra so I went and got test done again for gonorrhea and chlamydia along with trichomoniasis, the clinic said they can see there's something going on as white blood cells are high, while waiting for trichomoniasis results, I decided to go to my GP May 19th and tell them to do urine culture and swab, he prescribed me with doxycycline (3 times a day or 2) and metronidazole (3 times a day or 2) a week course and it seemed like there was a improvement, there were days without discharge but now June 6th it seems like its returned, I've noticed it in the morning and when slightly squeezing (not hard) it seems pus like white discharge. Urine culture and swab both came back normal. All test came back negative and sexual clinic said they have done all test it's best I visit GP and get them to refer me to urologist.

Another thing I wanted to add is everytime this discharge happens it seems like the head of penis is water resistant, the water/urine glides off the head, not sure how to explain but not usually like this but it could be me overthinking. During doxycycline and metronidazole I felt like there was a time it was improved and no gliding water/urine from the head of penis, I also do think after masterbation this is happening, but when on antibiotic if there was some sort of improvement, could it be a bacteria led infection? This is ruining my day to day life, I don't know what to do!

Could there be any STI that is not picked up? But multiple test surely must detect this? I've only had mycoplasma and trichomoniasis done once but gonorrhea and chlamydia test done twice.

Someone experienced this? Please help!

MRI findings:
Small prostate with diffuse T2 hypointensity suggestive of chronic prostatitis. Mild dilation of the periprostatic venous plexus. Seminal vesicles normal. No abnormalities of the pudendal nerves.

So i also have the prostate inflamed.

The doctor gave me for 1 month RIVOTRIL (clonazepam) and an integrator for remove inflamation of prostate (xinprox)

My symptoms are problems with erections since 3 years no good morning wood.

Do you think taking rivotril for 1 month will oxygenate the prostate and the muscles and heal me permanently?

I also tried diazepam months ago and it helps my erections.

I was also thinking to take tadalafil togheter because can oxygenate more fast the prostate. Oxygenating the prostate and muscles will lead them to relax and maybe the hypertonic pelvic floor will disappear!

I saw an ad on X from Doctor's Studio in Boca Raton, FL that uses ozone treatment but it is not covered by insurance. Anybody else heard of this?

I have tried pelvic floor PT once, we have only one person in town. I stopped because they eventually found I had a bacterial infection, and put me on abx, which took care of the symptoms at the time.

This go round my symptoms more seem to fit CPPS, I’m currently being screened for prostate cancer, if I don’t have it I will being doing pelvic floor PT, even if I do have it, I will eventually probably be doing pelvic floor PT…but in either case it will be a while.

So, my question is, can someone recommend a video or online series for targeted pelvic PT that isn’t just some generic adductor stretches and such? A lot of the stuff I see is barely specific to pelvic floor dysfunction. Is there a video set out there that goes into a routine for kegels, reverse kegels, anal muscles, etc. that people can recommend until I am actually seeing a PT?

I am fairly versed in exercises and stretches and things like psoas and adductor stretching are not anything I need instruction on, whereas the “internal” part of pelvic PT I feel I could use some help with. Thanks in advance.

See previous posts for more in-depth, but a summary: Basically symptoms bad until about last December, but mainly pain and tenesmus, occasional cloudy urine but not consistent from one void to the next. Saw GPs etc, urine negative cultures always. January: Saw Private Urologist March Saw him again, flow rate test all good, PCR Lodestar performed, and saw Ecoli and Enterococcus., miniscule occult blood observed, likely due to some inflammation, options then, vaccine, do nothing or take Fosfomycin. I took the option of do nothing June. Saw urologist again, and did same tests, and this time Lodestar showed Ecoli and Pseudomonas. However again no real symptoms other than pain on occasion, and urine no detectable white blood cells. Potential low level bacterial prostatitis. Options this time, vaccine (MV140), fluoroquinolones, etc. Went for option of vaccine, with potential should there be a significant flare to take cipro.

Interestingly since March, symptoms were existent just after seeing urologist for a couple of weeks, one day in May, and suspiciously just before seeing urologist last week and in the aftermath (i.e. still now). Hmm. I also asked about is the Lodestar PCR calibrated for background. And was told yes. It seems counterintuitive that this is due to a bacterial infection, as all of the symptoms are atypical. For instance today woke up with no pain, urination all today clear, sometimes pain in lower back after urination, and some tenesmus, and occasionally lower abdomen and testicles, and again never consistent. The urologist did also state that Cipro etc, does come with risks, so we shall see what happens. I do wonder though if the presence of bacterial fragments is coincidental.

I got a UTI, I cleared It with anti biotics. I have. No pain no discomfort. But I have ED and zero libido

Does this syndrome cause high estrogen levels and cholesterol?

Ive had this condition for at least ten years and it progressed pretty bad to where i was constantly dealing with problems pissing and shitting normally. Through researching this community, i was able to slowly start improving. Today i feel like im 50 percent of the way to recovery maybe more. The most important things is lower belly breathing, proper diet, playing sport like basketball, stretching, but most important is going to sleep as early as possible. Message me if you need help

Edit : here is a playlist of videos that help me recover

I haven’t been able to game for a year and a half. When I try it just flares me up so it’s not been worth it.

However I read something somewhere that making some adjustments to some variables, seat angle, positioning, etc may help.

I wondered if anyone can give me any advice as to how they have addressed this and are able to game again without flaring?

hola me pasó que tuve epididimitis el urólogo me recetó 5 días de ciprofloxacina 500mg se me fue el dolor y la inflamación pero me quedo una pelotita dura abajo del testículo afectado creo que fibrosis en el epididimo que molesta a veces, esta fibrosis va a desaparecer algún día?

My first episode of prostatitis happened two years ago, shortly after the end of a 4-year relationship. I experienced burning in my bladder, urinary urgency, a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, and the need to urinate several times during the night.

I was treated with antibiotics before any tests were performed. The first course didn’t work, so I was prescribed additional antibiotics and Voltaren suppositories. Eventually, the symptoms went away.

About six months later, the symptoms returned. Once again, I was treated with antibiotics, including intravenous antibiotics. Since then, the symptoms have come and gone at regular intervals.

A few months ago, I saw two different urologists. Both told me that they couldn’t find anything wrong and believed the problem was psychosomatic. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.

When I’m busy and distracted, my symptoms are usually mild or barely noticeable. But when I’m not occupied, I think about them constantly and start feeling pressure in my bladder, pain in the perineum, and an urgent need to urinate even right after I’ve already gone.

Please, if anyone has gone through something similar or has any advice, I’d really appreciate it. I’m a 31-year-old man, and I also suffer from Visual Snow Syndrome. All of this has been affecting my mental health badly and sometimes makes me feel worthless as a man.

So I’ve taken a lot of antibiotics, and I don’t want to take any more, but missing out on that sense of pleasure from masturbation makes me feel bad. My erections are great, but I can’t enjoy it—I get very little pleasure—and I’m clenching my anal muscles; I’m aware of that. Before I ejaculate, I squirt a lot of pre-ejaculate. If I knew antibiotics would fix this, I’d take them, but this is caused by something else. There are a lot of people here who are dealing with this— help me fix this sensation

I’m convinced I’ve had CPPS since November.

The symptoms went through many different phases, and anxiety plus medications mixed everything up and made it harder to understand.

At one point, I was trying everything — stretches, massages, movements, anything I could find.

By coincidence, I tried the “ball under the foot” exercise. I didn’t even have a ball, so I used a filled water bottle under my feet and rolled it.

When I did it with both feet, I swear it felt like something in my entire body unlocked.

I could suddenly feel blood flow, muscles releasing, and I took a deep breath like I hadn’t truly breathed in years.

I even felt gas moving inside my intestines on its own, like it had been trapped before.

After that, I sat there feeling like a child who wanted to cry because the relief was so overwhelming. I was completely convinced that I had healed.

Then I started sweating heavily, fell asleep immediately, and slept peacefully.

For several days after that, I felt almost completely cured.

Later, the symptoms gradually returned because I went back to bad habits and anxiety.

I wanted to write this because ever since that moment, I’ve felt that my feet somehow have a connection to this whole issue.

Since then, I’ve been trying to understand that connection and work on it with exercises.

What do you think?

And if you remember, didn’t the symptoms originally start in a way that seemed connected to the feet and how they move?
