What causes pain during urination?
Patient: i have a genital condition which the first doc diagonised as an infection caused by bacteria and prescribed an injection with antibiotic for seven days which only caused my pennis to swell severely,the next doctor thought this were  genital warts and only prescribed antiflamatory medicine which never improved the situation.I saw a third doc who diagonised this as  genital herpes and prescribed acyclovir which indeed reduced/eliminated the the swelling. i am now having very strong pain when passing urine and sometimes see traces of blood. What could  this be? Doctor: Hi,Thanks for posting your query.I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.Pain in the shaft of the penis while urinating with traces of blood could be due to urethritis ( Infection/inflammation of the urethra).If the pain is felt in the lower part of the abdomen, then it could be due to cystitis ( infection/inflammation of the urinary bladder).Urine culture sensitivity test may be done.I hope that answers your question.Regards.
