Recurring infection - only relief is after a shot of Rocephin

What you have to do is stop looking for crap and go out and live. Very simple.

bubbly urine comes from …nitrogen in your urine, right? I thought I learned a long long time ago that when you have a lot of bubbles its nitrogen. Could be wrong, I didn’t bother looking it up. Either way, its not a concern at all. Sometimes my urine is yellower than normal cuz I take a strong multi B vitamin that smells like sulfur and is yellow like turmeric. Sometimes my urine is greenish because sometimes I take DIIM and it can make your pee yellow or slightly greenish. My pee is crystal clear if I drink a shit load of water all day. Pee varies!

Good that you are quitting vaping nicotene, smoking weed and especially the drinking. Drinking is so hard on the human body. I know how hard it is when I don’t drink for well over a month, nothing at all, and then have like 4-6 drinks while out of town partying with friends I rarely see. The next day, yikes! Bad feeling! I do weed daily, but not too much. Its never bothered me much, I’ve quit for over 5 years once and sometimes take long breaks and my life and body feel the same. Nicotene is terrible. Just don’t do that shit it helps to not.

I’d suggest eating yogurt, good whole yogurt with a full bacteria profile, and eat it every day. You need to get your gut health back on track. The shots and antibiotics wrack and strip your guts from beneficial bacterial and microbes. Yogurt helps get those back. Also there are pills with the stuff you lost in them and those help too. Eat well and rest well and your gut health will return.

Hope you get things back on track!

Thanks bro - yeah, hopefully things get back on track. I should also mention that my prolactin levels were elevated at my annual visit and that’s why my primary care doc wanted to schedule me with an endo. I’m thinking the prolactin is causing a lot of this low libido stuff, low-ish testosterone, etc… I did read that kidney probs can cause elevated prolactin levels, so obviously not great to see heavy bubbles in my urine every morning, but my eGFR numbers are 90 (I’m white and 27 years old), and my BUN/creatinine levels are fine, coupled with albumin, protein, etc… all being normal and there is no protein found in my urine.

I agree, would love to live my life but the low libido thing is the most frustrating and hopefully the endo will help. I don’t think it’s a pituitary tumor and I did read that marijuana can cause elevated levels. I was a heavy smoker (every night) and would smoke a nicotine vape all day, everyday and occassionally binge-drank on the weekends. The past two weeks I’ve made the decision to never buy weed or a nicotine vape for myself, and to monitor my drinking when I go out. It’s been working great and overall I feel much better. I took a few hits of my buddy’s juul and smoked a little weed last night, but I’m not craving it again and more so just developing a healthy relationship with sobriety and substance use. Hopefully my hormones get back to normal and things start to look up. Just hope nothing serious.

Update | Nov 5th

Been taking a holistic approach to this and have been dealing with my problems head-on. I am not using weed, nicotine, or booze to make things just ” just go away.”

Life has been good, all in all. I’m back in therapy 1x/week, and have been taking care of myself spiritually, mentally, and physically. I’m eating great, drinking lots of water, and working out.

Yesterday, I got an urge to masturbate, so I did. This is the first time I’ve masturbated in a few weeks, but I did have sex this past Sunday. I came really fast, but this usually happens to me after I stop weed, and then over time it sort of goes back to normal.

When I masturbated yesterday, some of the semen was definitely a significant hue of yellow. I got horny again later that night and masturbated again - the semen also being yellow that time around, although not as noticeable. I do believe this has something to do with a multivitamin I’ve been taking, as those can also turn urine a lighter shade of yellow.

That said, the second time I masturbated, I was wiping the semen up and got a very quick shooting pain stemming from the right side and went through my shaft. It hurt - a lot - but went away very quickly.

This morning, I passed a stool and there was a noticeable amount of blood that passed into the toilet bowl, and onto the toilet paper when I wiped. I’ve passed much larger stools over the past few weeks with no blood or anything like that.

Because I bled after ejaculating twice, I’m not really sure what to think. I’m sure there are a variety of things going on, but I don’t know.

I’ve also been losing a noticeable amount of hair that started at the beginning of October. I wonder if this has anything to do with the rounds of Ceftriaxone, Cipro, Azithromycin, or Doxy that I’ve ingested over the month of August. This would put us at the ~2-month mark post those drugs, so maybe the hair is finally being affected.

Overall, I feel grounded emotionally and physically. I am choosing to deal with this and manage my stress in a sober state whenever possible. I’ll still enjoy a drink or two with friends on the weekends, but that’s really it. The fact that I am not freaking out and getting high, etc. is a great sign and I am managing my stress and anxiety over this extremely well.

In all totality, I have the following scheduled with professionals:
- Dentist appt on Nov 9 to get a small cavity filled
- Dentist specialist appt on Nov 10 to look at an abscess in my lower left K-9 that may need a root canal (I broked my jaw in two places after being sucker-punched in 2018 and was wired shut for 3 weeks)
- Gastro appt on December 10 to discuss blood in stool and to do a colonoscopy (referral from primary doc after my annual physical back in October)
- Endocrinologist appt on December 29 to discuss slightly elevated prolactin levels from annual physical with primary GP, as well as slightly concerning levels of Vitamin D, testosterone of 444 (free of ~15), and LDL Cholesterol of 111.

Either way, hoping to figure this out. The hydrocele is still there, I have a slight case of premature ejaculation after stopping weed that I hope will subside, and am taking a multivitamin, D-3, fish oil, and saw palmetto supplement.

Thanks all.

Spoke too soon - just passed another stool after posting this and there is a significant amount of blood that is now in the stool, dripping into the toilet bowl, and way more blood on the toilet paper when I wipe.

Calling my GP. I am not waiting to see a gastro and need to be seen soon. I am not listening to any of you anymore telling me there is nothing wrong here. I have passed much larger stools in the past week or two without any masturbation and there was no blood. Because this is happening after masturbation, I am wondering if it is prostate-related and if there is something more serious going on. An inflamed prostate might be putting pressure on the anal canal causing something, but I don’t know and will get a professional’s opinion. This time, I am going in with way more authority and will not stop.

It’s called hemorrhoids.

I can’t imagine your prostate being injured or hurt in some way that makes blood come out of your rectum. Maybe something pierced the wall between your prostate and rectum, at which point you would have a bad infection instantly and be running a fever and have lots of pain, etc.. Man I hope the docs can figure this out!

Update:

Had a coworker drive me to the ER. Here now. Was really dizzy sitting at my desk and was doing my best to calm down. I managed it well and walked myself into the ER asking to be seen immediately. Not bleeding internally or anything - hoping it us just a hemorrhoid but I simply do not understand why this happened after i masturbated - nothing else has changed. Posting this while I’m sitting on the hospital bed and they are going to do a full work up on me. Will post once discharged.

Doc just did an internal exam. No hemorrhoids, cysts, or the like. Cat scan is being ordered. Perhaps just inflammation from tight PF - hoping nothing serious.

What is a “tight PF”? good luck!

Tight pelvic floor. Idk - just hoping that’s all it may be. Something is up regardless.

Just got done CT scan. Weird stuff man - they inject that silicon shit into you or whatever it is and it heats your body up - pretty wild. Felt my PF sort of loosen. Got wheeled back to my room and gave a urine sample.

Midway through the stream for the urine sample, during an intense reverse kegel (pushing urine out), the area between my scrotum and ass really tightened the f*ck up. It was more prominent on the right side too. It hurt a lot and while i was still able to continue passing urine, it lasted for ~10-15 seconds or so and went away. This has happened to me before, but it’s really painful and definitely makes you fold over a bit at the waist. Just something I wanted to mention.

Are you going to be okay? What did all the scans and samples say?

Scans came back completely normal. Woke up yesterday morning and had blood on the toilet paper again - only on the first wipe, though. No blood on the stool or in the toilet bowl this time around.

Going to see a gastro on the 10th as already mentioned. This really freaked me out and I need to consider my anxiety playing a role now that I am - for the most part - sober. I really think my body is just readjusting, or at least that’s what the doc and nurse said. My semen was also quite yellow and sort of “jelly-like” for the past couple of days but it has been better since and I had the urge to masturbate today and yesterday, so I did and I feel OK. I’m not sure what’s up - maybe it’s nothing - because my CT scan and blood work came back and I am as healthy as a horse.

Thanks all for the support and obviously I am quite embarrassed - either way, hoping to get an answer from the gastro.

Physically you’re normal.
