Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I have a mild itching sensation in my urethra (close to the base, not the tip). It has been the same for a couple of weeks. It hasn t gotten better or worse. I had a 10 panel STD test done and all came back negative. What could be another cause and what kind of treatment should I seek?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Itching sensation in urethra could be due to urinary tract infection also. I suggest you to get urine examination and urine culture also. Prostatic massage can also be done before urine culture since prostatic infection can also be picked up in urine culture.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
