I will pray that you come out of the visit clean and healthy!
Thanks brother! Got the results back last week and I am CLEAN. Unfortunately that still left the mystery of why it felt like I was peeing molten glass but by process of elimination I figured out it was a UTI. Sharing my experience in case anyone else gets one of these.
I spoke with a doctor who insisted that UTIs in men were too rare and told me to go back to the clinic. I wasn't about to wait another 10 days so I looked into alternative cures. There is a ton of information available online for this because they're super common with girls. I ended up doing the following which beat it in about 2 days:
1. Cranberry extract pills ($8 at GNC)
2. A ton of water - like as much as I could handle mixed with a few teaspoons of apple cider vinegar which was recommended for antibiotic properties
3. Baking soda mixed in water - super gross and doesn't help with killing the infection but makes your urine less acidic which helps with pain
4. D-mannose ($15 on amazon) same mechanism as cranberry extract but I had cured it before it came in on prime
The fact that the cranberry pills killed it means the doc was wrong. It was a garden variety UTI from e.coli which makes up 90% of them. The smoking gun is that the cranberry extract worked because it only works on e.coli based UTIs.
In retrospect it's very obvious how I got it. I met a girl that I had crazy chemistry with and we were having a lot of sex without a condom. The third time I saw her she asked me if I was clean because she was feeling pain. I thought it was just from physical wear and tear so I didn't think much of it and kept having sex.
What I'm sure happened at this point was that she must have gotten the UTI from not going to the bathroom one of the times we had sex. I've had girlfriends insist on this which I always thought was super anal but now I know why. After she had gotten it I caught it from her. Might have also had something to do with edging/retrograde ejaculation because I edge a lot.
Major takeaways:
1. Make sure your girl goes to the bathroom after sex
2. If your girl is in pain don't have sex or use a condom
3. If it hurts when you pee hit the cranberry extract. I went through about a week of pain that I didn't have to deal with partially because I was waiting on the test results but I would have bought the cranberry extract right away knowing what I know now. Super cheap. Forget what doctors say they don't know about this life lol.
