I've been feeling this weird tingling sensation in my urethra for a while now, but there's no UTI or any other known problem. It's not painful when I pee, and I don't seem to have any prostate issues. It usually comes when I'm trying to sleep, making me really restless, though it does go away on its own after a bit. It's kind of torturous when it's there. Do you think it could be urethral syndrome or maybe something related to nerves? Are there any meds that could help with this?

Urethral irritation usually presents in this way. To help alleviate the tingling sensation, you can try taking Flavoxate (brand name Urispas) 200 mg tablets. This medication helps to relax the muscles in the bladder and urethra, reducing the discomfort you are feeling. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm a 27-year-old male dealing with an overactive bladder and urge incontinence. My urologist prescribed meds that helped but caused hard stools and anal fissures. After switching meds, the same issue came back, and I even had to get surgery for the fissure. The doctor says there are only two types of bladder-relaxing meds available, and both cause dry mouth and constipation. I'm really anxious because this feels never-ending are there really no other options that won't give me these side effects? My life has become so difficult because of this.
While the commonly prescribed medications for overactive bladder may cause side effects like constipation and dry mouth, it's not necessarily true that no other options exist. There are several alternative approaches to managing overactive bladder and urge incontinence, including lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and other medical interventions like Botox injections or nerve stimulation, which might be worth exploring with your urologist.

I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?
