I'm dealing with this intense burning sensation in my penis all day long, especially when it's erect. It feels like the nerves are stretching too much, which makes the pain unbearable. It's gotten to the point where I can't even sit on a bike. I found out I have trichomonas from a urine test and have been on treatment for 13 days, but I'm not seeing much progress. This has been going on for about five months now, and I'm getting pretty frustrated. I'm wondering if this infection can actually last that long and how much longer it might take to see some improvement. I've done all kinds of tests like MRI, color Doppler, and still, after all this time, the trichomonas was found in my urine test. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

I'm sorry to hear about your discomfort. Trichomonas infection can sometimes cause persistent symptoms, and it may take longer to fully clear up depending on the severity. Since you've been under treatment for 13 days without significant improvement, I recommend revisiting your doctor to reassess your treatment plan or check for any other underlying issues. Its important to ensure you're receiving the correct medication and follow-up care.

I've noticed there's blood in my semen and it's got me a bit worried. I did a urine culture, semen analysis, and semen culture; everything came back negative except they found pus cells between 20 to 25 in the semen analysis. Is this something I should be concerned about, like an infection, or is it something normal?

Pus cells found in semen analysis indicate the presence of infection. To treat this infection, you can take antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
