What Causes Pain In The Penis?
Question: I am having some penis pain, in the penis area not scrotum. About a week ago I played golf in some very hot conditions. I tried to stay hydrated, but after golf I think I had heat exhaustion. Since that day I have had some pain in my bladder like I have to urinate and it also affected my colon like I had to have a bowel movement. I went to hospital and they said my blood was ok, but urine showed I needed to be hydrated. I have been drinking 2 to 3 bottles of water per day. I thought maybe I had a bladder infection, but urinalisis did not show that. I have not passed any blood or pus. Urine seems to be a light yellow. Have any ideas what is causing this? I do not have kidney stones I already passed them.
Brief Answer:
The symptoms may be due to prostate enlargement or stone.

The hospital said my urine showed I needed to drink more water or they could give me liquids in my arm. I chose to drink more water. I have some amoxicillin at home would it help to start taking it for the pain?
Brief Answer:
Water is not given in your arm.
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
1. According to your query,urinalysis showed "you needed to drink more water",
it didn't show infection.
A specific gravity test has not been done,then on what basis do you say that,you
needed to drink more water.Water isn't given in the arm.
2. Amoxiclacillin is of no help.
An urine culture needs to be done,to know if there's any UTI.(urinary infection).
