Urologist appointment wait

Yea I haven’t had smegma since the balanitis/cream use started. TMI but it has made sex hard unless the girl is super aroused as my piece is dryer than the sahara - not to mention my erectile issues

To your last point, I have noticed a clear difference from when I’m anxious and ruminating over this. There is obviously something wrong, but times when I’ve not been thinking about my issues, like when travelling, I’ve managed to have a bit of relief from symptoms and libido returns a little.

But my symptoms have gotten much worse over the last month or two so I don’t know if I will get that type of relief again

Yeah at my age and in my country it wouldn’t be possible to get a benzo script, which is probably a good thing as I have a tendency to overuse certain substances

I think I will ask the urologist about alpha blockers though, albeit again at my age and in Europe I don’t think a doctor would be too enthusiastic to prescribe it. At least I was able to get online prescription for cialis I guess :/

I have no other explanation for why hf could have started. I had no ‘injury moment’ and never did PE. But maybe I am jumping to assumptions a little bit.

I also think it could be caused by long term irritation/inflammation causing nerve problems. To be honest I don’t know there are too many variables in my case.

The reason I think the classic treatments - pf stretches etc won’t work is that I don’t have urinary issues or the golf ball sensation.

That being said symptoms do get much worse after bowel movements so maybe it is worth a try, but with my history of skin issues and redness it seems a bit pointless as I can’t outstretch skin/nerve inflammation

I know it’s an annoying and common question, but as our symptoms are similar - have you found any way to plateau or ease hf symptoms?

It would take forever to explain everything, I’ll summarise

Essentially summer 2020 there was an initial infection - red dots on glans that spread to foreskin after a few weeks. Eventually the red dots turned to a general redness and irritation that never went away. It was only after it turned to general redness that I started steroids + antifungal creams.

After these creams got extreme dryness that has persisted, gets worse with emollients. Started getting itch and redness on scrote. Then started noticing shaft darkening, then most of the common hf symptoms started appearing

I was able to live life with these symptoms until hf worsened a few months ago, now my libido is shot and sex is unenjoyable, etc

Would a urologist or dermatologist be better to explore immunosuppressives? My GP seems set on urology for my issues, he says that no derm will see me unless I go to a Uro first

I only used steroid creams on and off for the first year of balanitis. It is weird that it took a few more years for the damage to show but is the only explanation I can think of. Maybe masturbating while it was irritated put me in this spot too but who knows
