Hey- Thanks for all advice. I went to a doc in the box, it’s a minor UTI (hardly noticeable today) and he gave me some antibiotics. He said to come back if it’s not gone completely in 2 days. Thanks again j ---

Just general FYI: blood in your urine can signal a UTI, but it can also mean a number of other things. Best to get it checked. Glad you’re better. Also, a nagging urge to pee constantly is another symptom of UTI. ---

[QUOTE=VCO3] I’m going to deviate from the people telling you to write your will and go to the closest E.R. and say that this happens to me about once a year, and has for as long as I can remember. It lasts for maybe a half-hour tops, and then it goes away. The only commonality that I’ve found (and I’ll raise your TMI), is [/QUOTE] Actually I came in this thread to say this exact same thing. I’m a 26 year old male, and I’m relieved to find out that it wasn’t just me. It hasn’t happened in years, but I distinctly remember this happening and it directly correlating with post-masturbation urination (band name?). So since \*\*Sampiro \*\* exibited not only worry, and pain, but also a little frustration in his OP, I can only ask: so **Sampiro**? ---
