Continual Urethral Pain

Hi

I am a 39 year old male

For the past 2-3 months I have been suffering with continual irritation/pain in my penis.

This is the second time I have had this - 24 months ago I had a similar experience which cleared up after a while. I have also suffered with chronic epididymitis in the past.

At first I thought this might have been an STI but I have had several urine (first stream and mid stream) tests as well as a blood test and all have come back negative.

I have also now completed three courses of different antibiotics - none of which have made any difference.

I have just started myself on ibuprofen twice a day(400mg) to try and control the pain - they have helped - but I know that the problem is still there.

I have not made love to my wife in weeks and masturbation has also stopped. When I do get and erection and dribble a little semen, this stings even more. The passing of urine however does not seem to sting.

I am trying to drink more water, but this does not seem to make any difference or help.

I am at a loss as what to do/try next save find a Urologist .... any ideas?

I just want to know what this is and what can / should be done - it really is getting me down.
