17 Answers
He has been told it is not a UTI after his doctor sent a week's course of Nitrofurantoin which he has finished but is no better. Has today taken a blood sample to surgery as requested.
He keeps asking me to find out what it could possible be. I've no idea, have you?

The commonest cause is an infection, but viral which would not have been picked up by urinalysis or resolved by antibiotics so:
Virus infection is the favourite.
Enlarged prostate comes second and a stone in the urethra next.
Other causes.....not common.
He may need a camera up the penis to sort this out (Cystoscopy)

Right, just had a phone call telling me he saw the doctor again yesterday and it was finger up the bum time and she felt an enlarged lobe on his prostate possibly pressing on his urethra. Medication changed to Selexid. Says he forgot to ask what caused it so I said I'd ask on here. Looks to me as if it's something that comes to some with old age??
