30M, 170 cm, 70 kg
About 4 years ago, I developed recurrent bacterial UTIs (~10 episodes), treated with multiple antibiotics based on urine cultures showing different bacteria. My main symptom was burning during urination.
During this period, I lost 7–8 kg of muscle mass and have never regained it.
Later, a prostate massage followed by urine culture identified bacteria, and I was treated accordingly. Since then, urine tests and cultures have remained normal, but my symptoms never improved.
Current symptoms:
Burning during urination
Burning sensation in the urinary/genital area
Penis shrinkage/retraction sensation
No morning erections for 4 years
Persistent inability to regain lost muscle mass
Sudden facial wrinkling (started ~1 year after infections)
Bilateral knee pain (started ~2 years ago)
Recent back pain
Despite normal urine cultures for several years and seeing multiple doctors, these symptoms persist.
Question: what can be reason? what tests need?
