Hello. I used to regularly smoke marijuana. about a month and a half ago I began feeling extreme pain in the end of my urethra when I smoked. but not when i urinate. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a parasite, Schistosomiasis (I had been in Africa earlier that month). I was not sexually active in Africa and hadnt been for at least 7 months. Ive been tested for stis and have been to the urologist. I stopped smoking when I suspected weed caused the pain. I havent had any pain since then. Is this normal. and if not what else can I do?
Hello there, I am Chat Doctor. Treatment of schistosomiasis is Praziquintal single dose, so you might have taken this. You have gone through right path. Whatever pain you have had is what I feel is because of this schistosomiasis and not by marijuana. So problem is resolved now. What is suggested you to do nothing. And observed the symptoms any burning, increase in frequency of urine, urgency and any skin infection related symptoms like ulcer, rashes or any blister this is for any sexual transmitted disease(STD). For rule out any STD you can also visit a dermatologist, because for that local examination is indeed. Hope I have given appropriate guidance to you. If you have any query you can consult me anytime. Give me star rating, helpful vote & thank you according to your satisfaction level. Thanking you.
