Noticed White Flakes With Pain While Urinating, Hypochondria. Prostate Cancer?
Hey, I'm 20 years old. I just peed a few minutes ago and my stream was fine but when I was finishing I got a painful sensation and some little white flakes came out. I'm in a panic over it now. I'm a hypochondria so i'm amusing it's prostate cancer or something. I haven't masturbated in a week or anything, not sure if that will help but just for some background knowledge.

Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Prostate cancer occurs in elderly men (after the age of 50) and there is no need to be worried about prostate cancer at 20. It looks like you are suffering from a urinary infection and you should get your urine routine and microscopy done in addition to a culture.
If it turns out to be infection, you would require a course of antibiotics.
Hope you get well soon.
