I thought I had a UTI, but they told me no bacteria in urine test Here are the symptoms, some may not be related. For several years now I have had a little semen discharge whenever I am constipated and have a hard bowl movement.  After reading online, I assumed I had an enlarged prostate and that the discharge was from that, coupled with being obese. Over the past month or so, I noticed a bad smell to my urine that reminded of when I helped care for my grandmother when she was old.  I also would feel like I had to go to the bathroom to urinate or like I was going to pee my pants after I already went.  In addition, the tip of my penis was a little tender and red, and the inside of the hole was red also. I immediately thought I probably have UTI, so I went to the doctor.  They did a quick test in the office to a urine sample and said, no bacteria, but they would send it out for a more complete analysis.  Still no results.  So I didn't have to wait, they gave me a prescription for Bactrim and told me to take it for 3 days.  I did that and the symptoms never went away.  Help. More info on me: I haven't had sex in 7 months. I take atenolol for high blood pressure I take omeprozole for GERD I have also been taking phentermine for 2 months to lose weight I sometimes take an OTC called melatonin to help me sleep I also take Valtrex occasionally for cold sores I also take a daily multi- vitamin
