Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Hello Neelam! Has your pt been circumcised (if 'yes' - how long ago)? Have you done a urine (stick) test? Could it be a fungal infection? Has he changed washing powder/shower gel/soap/ shampoo (if he shampoos in the shower)/bubble bath/underwear fabric/diet? Could it be stress-related? Does he ride a bike (friction)? Has he tried any remedies yet - like daily 'waggling' in Marigold infusion, for example? No experience of this myself, just throwing out a few questions.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2005 Report Share Posted July 31, 2005 Hi all, I now am armed with a bit more information regarding this pt's case. Thanks - as it happens, he did have a circumcision..heres the story. Male in his 40's suffering from a chronic (2yr), continous, deep somatic/visceral pain(or discomfort) located on the anterieror side of the shaft of the penis, however more localised at anterior head of penis. Onset: proceeded insertion of genital ring (2003) which resulted in infection and ring was removed. Had been prescribed a-biotics and also developed urine infection and boil on root of penis. 2 weeks later he experienced burning/hot passage of urine - saw GP and was dx with tightening of foreskin. A year later (2004) he was circumcised. Urine test indicated all clear. GPs are baffled and cannot find anything wrong. To this day - a year on, he still feels this continuous discomfort which has greatly affected his quality of life. He became depressed and was Rx a-depressants which he didn't feel comfortable taking. Also suffers from high blood pressure. The pain - although quite localised now, used to travel down his right limb as a 'dull ache'. Pain aggravated by heat, stress. Has not found anything that relieves the pain. Has not changed his soaps/ degergents and uses gentle products as he suffers from eczema. past hx to note: 5yrs old - tonsils removed 15 yrs - shingles Any suggestions/ treament plans ?? Please help! Many thanks in advance Neelam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 It is possible that it is nerve pain, from damage to the delicate very nerve filled tissues there? Maybe nerve agents with something soothing externally like a slippery elm/ aloe and a healing EO. Joanne Dick(how ya doing anyhow missus. From scottish one!)
