Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is probable that you have got urethritis which is infection in the urethra. Though most causes of urethritis are evident and tests can confirm it, there are some occasions when the infection is due to organisms which are uncommon and therefore not easy to confirm.

If it is recently that you are having the symptoms then it is suggested to get a urethra swab test done. This will pick in you have an infection because of common bacteria. If the test is negative then you should discuss the possibility of non gonococcal urethritis with your doctor and do tests which can help to confirm your diagnosis. Please do not worry.
