What's Happening Now
The fever, lower back pain, additional stress from fatty foods, all sound similar to symptoms of gallstones.
I realize that your situation is complex and that each group of (new) symptoms you describe, by themselves, lead the reader to attribute them to a condition separate from the others.
Taking the whole kit in consideration, it may be something much simpler like food allergies that have gone undiagnosed and uncorrected until they have developed into a chronic inflammatory condition and your body's rejection of what it considers toxic food through your skin, causing a bad smell.
My suggestion is that you seek a good internist who is willing to investigate the myriad issues you have described here and manage all the different directions your descriptions lead, and draw them all together into a unified approach. You're certainly able to try addressing some symptoms, but until there is a professional managing your complex care, each specialist is going to have too narrow a focus to take in the whole picture and put together the pieces.
Your care is going to require a comprehensive interview since it has been developing and unmanaged for several years. Clearly each time we exchange information something new is introduced that changes the assessment. While you may have started in this forum because the most irritating issue was seemingly urologic, it does not appear to be the root cause, and that's hopefully what you really want to investigate. I'm not convinced you will get the help you need on this forum, as it's only lay-person advice, not medical help, but hopefully it will encourage you to take charge of your healthcare on your own and get a real hold on the big picture of what's going on in your body.View Thread
If your body is different and is signaling you that you need to ejaculate or it will cause discomfort, then you should probably listen to your body and take care of the situation.
As you are aware, this does not mean you need to demand sex from your partner, as you're perfectly capable of masturbating.
At 38 it seems a little unusual that your body is still behaving this way, but not everyone is the same. At your age it is common for men to be ejaculating 1-3 times per week. There's no reason you need to wait. And there's nothing wrong with masturbation.
Pay attention to your body, and don't demand service from anyone else, and you'll probably be fine. There's nothing wrong with you except perhaps some moral conflict telling you that it's not okay to respond to your body's signals.View Thread
If you are having issues related to your surgery, you need to contact the surgeon and discuss your symptoms. This is not a common situation or something that should be self-treated.
Call your urologist's office today.View Thread
As for what could be causing the issue, it sounds most like a small physical issue like a skin tag/flap inside your urethra that each time urine passes, drags and pulls on this tiny pocket that catches the fluid flow creating that pinch sensation. While a cytoscopy would hopefully be able to spot this, it won't always.
If it weren't so long term, it might make me think of some other things.
Are you particularly anxious or stressed as a teen?View Thread
There are MANY different kinds of implants, each with their own risks, benefits, and complications. The answer to your question is probably heavily dependent on your circumstances, and what type of implant you are considering.View Thread

Yes, antibiotics frequently cause gastrointestinal distress. Some of that will be helped by reestablishing the good flora by taking a probiotic for several weeks.View Thread

What is this hard "vein" and swelling on my penis?
Take Care,

If you are having trouble with private doctors, you can either ask the AUA (american urological association) for a referral in your area, or you can call any public hospital and ask to see a urologist. A public hospital cannot refuse to treat an uninsured citizen.View Thread
Having unprotected sex was your first mistake. You can go to any free STD clinic and get tested, which is what you should do immediately. If there are no free clinics, your poor decision will then cost you a little money. Do not let the suspicion of an STD go unchecked or it will cause more problems than dealing with it today. And they determine there is no infection, you have a different issue to deal with. Regardless, after any unprotected sex you put yourself on the list to get tested. There are plenty of STDs that don't have outward symptoms and need to be checked medically on a regular schedule if you are having unprotected sex at any time.
An STD does not always manifest with every common symptom. It could be as simple as a yeast infection.
Obviously you know what the mistake was, but now you have to handle your health with the kind of thought that was previously lacking.
Otherwise, it is still possible that your injured yourself with overly aggressive masturbation. Another thing you should be more mindful of and think ahead enough to use lubrication and not work at it so hard you injure yourself. Your penis is a delicate organ, even though you may treat it like a rod of steel. It's far from it, and much more easily injured than expected.View Thread
Sorry for the double post.View Thread

It will heal the same way you other skin heals provided you don't irritate the area.
You need to be much more careful, but you know that.View Thread
Some of what will happen with experience is that your excitement level will diminish and the urgency will subside, which will lead to longer lovemaking sessions. The measure of premature ejaculation is technically penetrative sex that lasts less than 2 minutes, however it is broadly defined as anytime earlier than you wanted ejaculation to occur.
There are lots of techniques to "training" your penis to become accustomed to the sensations of intercourse which will help you resist the over-stimulation that is leading to premature ejaculation.
Clearly your attention is divided and you're overstimulated if you have to ask if you have entered your partner. Go more slowly, watch yourself, and educate your brain on how to respond to the overstimulating situation. Don't rush. I understand it's in the heat of the moment, but as it becomes more natural and regular, the tendency will be for your body to treat the situation as "normal" and not to overreact to the stimulation.
It's frustrating, but hopefully you will (and your partner will) be patient with this new experience of intimacy, and it will settle down into something more natural feeling.
In the meantime, you may wish to change your masturbation habits so they simulate intercourse instead of whatever you're doing. If your penis is used to the feeling of a dry hand while sitting in a chair, change it to a lubricated hand while laying down (or however you approach your partner). That's just an example, but one of the ways your can "train" your penis to not overreact to a new situation.View Thread
