Question : Hello again Doctor XXXXXXX
I am sorry to bother you again and thank you for your answers as always.
I just wanted to get your opinion on my latest condition and what is it that i should try to solve these symptoms i am having. Nothing much improved since my last update. The rash has gone away but the scrotum are still a bit red. the overall burn feeling in rectum and urethra is still present especially after urinating. this feeling im having is most probably due to my urethra inflamed/irritated, because a certain area has some pain. The doctors i have seen have mostly told me to let time heal the condition since all tests have been made as i showed you before. Is there a medication i can take to heal this irritation in urethra? should i go back to the same antibiotics and anti-inflammatory? appreciate your feedback doctor.

hi doctor,
i have already started taking Nitrofurantoin and Flavoxate, and already i am noticing major improvement in the irritation to an almost feeling that it went away...there was some rash on the shaft but it went away when i applied anti yeast/fungal cream. though there is some build up of gas in stomach every now and then...does this explain anything?
