Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be UTI. Could be due to indigestion

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for query .

In view of you not having any urinary symptoms like burning urination ,frequency and urine examination being normal it is unlikely to be due to UTI.

Presence of undigested food in stools strongly points to indigestion .

1)Take digestive enzymes like Pancreon or Enzar forte .

2)Take soft diet for couple of days ,

3) Avoid heavy meals

4) Take sumptuous quantity of butter milk or curd and fruits and vegetables

5) Ensure to drink more water 4 liters per day

This should work for you and resolve the problem .

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions ,I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

Brief Answer:
Cancer of Prostate can be diagnosed on Rectal Examination and blood test.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for follow up .

Cancer of prostate can be diagnosed only on Digital Rectal Examination carried out by qualified Urologist and by doing blood test for PSA levels in blood .

The pain in tip of the penis could be mild inflammation of urinary meatus and not due to cancer of prostate ..

Consult qualified Urologist for clinical and digital rectal examination and get following basic tests done to confirm the diagnosis.
1) Urine routine and culture.
2) Ultrasound scanning of abdomen and pelvis
3) Serum PSA.

Constipation can be cause for discomfort in lower abdomen .Take stool softener like Isabgol at night .

Thanks and Regards.
