Question 1

I sometimes experience a burning sensation while urinating and also after ejaculation, along with persistent itching on the penis. I read that these can be symptoms of a UTI. Should I get a urine test done first, or directly schedule an appointment with a urologist?

Question 2

I am suffering from epididymitis for the past 3 months. I have consulted good urologists, and they prescribed antibiotics and NSAIDs. I never had swelling, only mild pain and discomfort. My urine report and USG were normal every time. But even after medications, the mild discomfort is not going. Can anyone help me?

Question 3

I am a 28 year old male. I have had premarital sex with multiple partners. Recently, I have been experiencing discomfort during urination, white discharge in urine, and small Fordyce spots on the foreskin of my penis. I also feel discomfort in the left abdomen and groin area, along with occasional itching on my penis. Over the last two years, I have repeatedly tested for HIV and VDRL, all of which were negative. I also recently tested for HSV 1 and 2, which was negative. Despite these negative results, I remain anxious about having an infection. Other tests show my amylase is 138, HDR 15.65, and I have been diagnosed with prediabetes and thyroid issues. I am feeling very stressed and sleepless due to worry about my health, especially since I am planning to get married next year.
Could you please guide me on what steps or tests I should take next and how to manage these symptoms?
