I do care.
Talk to your doctor about the anxiety or call a counselor. It never hurts to talk about your problems and concerns. Let your parents know of your concerns and more importantly, stop looking stuff up on the internet.
You can find all sorts of information on the internet, some is right, a lot is wrong. Its all to easy to say, I have this and that, so I must have this. No. Lots of things have similar symptoms. I'm not discounting what you have going on, I'm saying that I can't, and nobody can, diagnose what is going on with you over the internet.
We know you have a bladder infection and you have the symptoms. You may have balanitis, you have some symptoms. ED is usually not usually a physical problem at 18, without trauma or infection. I seriously doubt that you could have hurt yourself masturbating.
Wait on the urologist. You are taking care of your self, this is a good thing.
Get up and out, go for a walk or a drive. Try to distract yourself. Keep busy.
Hang in there, it will get better.

I've been using the bathroom every 10 minutes for a few hours now and it has me concerned. I really need to stop reading about things because now I think I may have urethral stricture. I can't sleep and I'm scared.....
Are urethral strictures common or even possible for teens to get. And if so. What are the chances that I may have one. Please reply dan. Thanks.

Possible yes, likely no.
Usually you'd have some sort of trauma to the urethra. Masturbation alone isn't likely to do it.
I think it is the bladder infection and/or the balanitis. Both can give you discomfort down there and frequent urination is a common side effect of the bladder infection.
Are you going to the urologist tomorrow?

I'm going to see a GP tomorrow morning at 9:15. If he can't tell me what's wrong he will refer me to a urologist. I just really hope this is nothing serious. I really do. With a job starting next week. If I can't sleep and I have to use the bathroom every 10 minutes. I won't be very useful at said job. My parent's are starting to get concerned now as well. I'll just make sure to tell the doctor everything.
I mean this every 10 minutes urination thing just started today at around noon it hasn't been around the entire time. I'm hoping maybe it's just expelling all the infected urine from my body. It's almost always completely clear and scent free. Is it possible that it could be just cleaning me out. Or could the cranberry juice I've been drinking cause me to have to pee so much.
I really hope that the doctor tomorrow can help me. I need to have tests done on my whether they find something or not. Having them done on me would put my mind at ease I'm sure. I also started taking some Kava Kava root for anxiety Wednesday afternoon.
I'm just really scared Dan. No matter what I do. I can't sleep. I have been eating but I just can't sleep and it's really affecting me now. Could the Kava Kava be doing something to me. Should I stop taking it or am I just overreacting again.

I just don't know about the Kava Kava root. I wouldn't take it now. You don't know how you react to it when you aren't having problems. How can we say if things are better or worse with taking it?
Cranberry juice will make you urinate. The fact that it is clear tells me you are well hydrated.
Make sure you tell the doctor everything. Take your time and if you don't understand something tell them.
Post back tomorrow. Hang in there OK?

I'll try Dan. Thanks
I'll stop taking the Kava Kava root and see what happens. One more question. My dad gave me one of his muscle relaxers. Methocarbomol I believe. Could it be causing this. I took it about 24 hours ago and since these problems showed up today. I'm just thinking maybe that has something to do with it. I'll stop taking the muscle relaxer and the Kava and see what happens.
Thanks again.

Sorry I missed this last night,
Methocabomol can give you insomnia, along with several other side effects like dizziness, itchy feelings, etc.
Wait until after your visit with the doctor before taking any meds.
Good luck.

I went to 2 doctors today. Still no urologist. One of them just took a Urine sample and a blood sample to test for testorone. My mother wasn't too happy. She took me to another guy who said I could be having bladder spasms, which would cause the need to urinate/painful and difficulty of doing so and the slight retraction of my penis. He gave me a 1 gram shot of some antibiotic and I'm hoping it works.
He also gave me 10mg xanex and some painkillers.
I'm staying positive that he is right. He also took a urine sample and I'll have the results Monday. Im still scared but maybe this is all it is.

Also. I can't seem to find it online. Can urinating so often damage the urethra or should I just not worry about that.
Well the Zanex should help with the anxiety and no, urinating often won't hurt the urethra at all.
Sounds like a frustrating day. It's too bad you had to see 2 doctors. Hopefully you get those results on Monday.
Did you ask about the Methocabomol? I'm asking because it is not a good idea to take it with the Zanex.
Hang in there and get some rest.

I'm gonna stop taking it. Hopefully the Xanax can help me sleep at least a little bit. I really want some sleep. I'm going crazy It's been 6 days now without a decent 2-4 hour nap. And maybe the shot can stop my need urinate so much.
Well my urine is dark orange-Red but the doc said the medicine would do that. I got some sleep last night thanks to the Xanax and it's still really hard for me to urinate. If this feeling goes away I'll feel much better whether I can still get an erection. I'm sure that will come back eventually. If not I'll just go talk to another doctor about the possibility of having permanant ED. You can't ever rule out that kind of possibliity.
I'm just glad I was able to sleep some. I got about 6 hours of sleep last night which is amazingly better than what I hae been. I just hope the entire problem goes away by monday since I'll be doing that new job with my dad.

Glad to hear you got some rest.
Keep drinking fluids and give the meds some time to work.
Keep us posted.

I feel much better today. I appreciate you helping me stay positive. I slept 9 hours last. I haven't slept 9 hours in over 6 months. I feel so much better. I still have some trouble urinating and almost no pain anymore. But I will give it a few more days and see what happens. I don't even care about the erection problem anymore. I'll just wait until I'm 100 percent cured before I even try anything. I'll post back in a day or so and tell you how it's going.
Yeah. Yeah. Its not been a couple days but I do need to ask another question since I don't really trust online sites. I really don't feel like I have to pee at all but when I stand over the toiler and force myself I do pee. Is this bad to do this or should I just keep drinking fluids and wait for the feeling to some naturally. I guess my question would be. Is it possible to completely block off the bladder to where you have no sensation to pee but when you force yourself something comes out.
Sorry to bother you again.
On a side note. I got 7 hours of sleep again last night and I feel great. No pain my stress has gone way down and I'm slowly getting back to normal. No voluntary erections yet but I'll worry about that once whatever this is completely clears up.
Thanks again Dan. I feel like your a good friend.
