Hello I had prostactomy 6 weeks ago robotic and I am still having burning pain in my penis since surgery with urgency and frequency of going urine. All cultures are negative x 3.
I wonder if i have cystitis and urethritis non specific. OTC AZO helps to calm down my pain and frequency. MRI negative for abscess or any fluid.please advise. My bladder becomes very active to go frequent urine. Thanks i am 67 yr old.

Hello, I am 8 weeks post RP surgery and am having the same burning issue with my penis. I did have a UTI but that has been resolved and have had multiple negative tests since. I also have pain that radiates into my penis when I sit on hard surfaces as well.
My Dr wanted me to get a CT scan to rule out any infections, ascites, fluid buildup, or lymphadenopathy. Results were all negative.
I also have a very active bladder and urine frequently. I believe I have a stricture in my urethra as my flow is weak and breaks into two streams. I go to have a Cystoscopy in 4 weeks for an official diagnosis. I am currently chalking the burning sensation to a potential stricture. I don't know what else it could be... Maybe I need more time to heal. I am 52 years old.
