Suggest Treatment For Intermittent Pelvic Discomfort
Question: Hello!
Have a question in regards of pelvic discomfort which is unwilling to disappear. It has been present over the last months, disappearing and then coming back. Lately it has been present for more than a week. It is located just above where penis starts. It is not a pain but general discomfort, feels occasionally like little burning as well. There is also a more frequent need for urination, at least once in every 3-5 hours and then it feels a little bit better for a short while. I have a feeling that the urination starts filling up shortly and then the discomfort begins as well. Did some googling and found answers it being a cancer - how do you see it and is there something I could do at home?
My latest PSA reading was 1.093, out of which 31% was free PSA. I have also had an abdominal ultrasound where they said that the bladder was normal.
And of course the urin analysis which was OK in the normal test but showed up some inflammation during the nickel test. However doctor said it was mild enough and did not provide any medicine.

Thank you for your quick answer. The answer to all the questions would be "no". Just after ejaculation this discomfort as such is a bit more prominent.
I have registered also for the tests but would this discomfort be not an indicative of bladder or testicular tumor neither. I have had bladder recently checked via abdominal ultrasound and it was fine. Testicles also seem to be normal by hand and nothing hurts there. Just above the penis where it is.
