And even in persons with relatively high risk exposures, STDs are quite uncommon in persons over 40 years old, even rarer at age 60. Further, non-STD urinary tract infections (UTI) are very frequent at that age and in the presence of an enlarged prostate. Finally, urethral STDs almost always cause discharge; painful or urgent urination, without discharge, usually indicates UTI, not an STD.

Hi
This sounds like balanitis and there seems to be a fungal component present here. Urinary tract infections and STD's have a whole spectrum of disease conditions including superficial skin conditions like balanitis. This may persist for a while and given the right triggers this may even recur.
Were you able to apply 1% hydrocortisone over the area? If yes, how did this respond?
I wonder if there is such a thing as a hypersensitive urinary tract? If so, I have it big time! Every time this is like this, it makes me feel bad all over. I guess when the prostate is irritated, being a gland, it can affect how you feel all over. I hope I can get over this. I am still drinking lots of water.

Just over three weeks ago I began experiencing burning in my urinary tract. I thought it would go away, but it persisted and got worse over the next few days. I went to a doctor, and they of course thought it might be an std. They gave me a 'cocktail' of antibiotics, as well as running urinalysis and blood test. A few days later it got very extreme, painful and burning. I went back to see a Dr and he had the test back... normal.
I have a question for those of you with urinary tract problems. I have had several UTIs and seem to be retaining urine. Also, my bladder and kidneys hurt. As many of you know, I do have Lupus. The question I have is should I be going to a urologist? I have talked to my GP about this and I have even mentioned being tested for Lupus Nephritis, but he just tells me that anytime he has checked my kidneys they have been fine.
Thank you and I will! Although, before my symptoms started I hadn't spent any time inside a hospital and I hadn't had any kind of urinary tract procedure done
Can one get this infection outside of a hospital?
A urologist has specialized knowledge and skill regarding problems of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs.
The urologist may decide to do a cystoscopy and/or arrange for specific imaging tests that show up what is going on inside the urinary tract.
As the antibiotics did not work it may be that they were the wrong type of antibiotic to treat any underlying infection, or you have no bacterial infection.
