TOPIC: What are the symptoms of infection - how do we know what to spot

I had HA 12 days ago and over the last couple of days I have developed - an uncomfortable burn/sting in the the tip of the penis especially when pee'ing. I've not had one before but it sounds like a UTI.

I followed all aftercare procedure etc - no sex, gym etc.

In this typical symptoms of infection relating to the procedure or sounds like something unrelated. Thanks

Definitely sounds like a UTI. Fillers don't involve or obstruct the urethra, so the "burning at the tip" sounds very classic "UTI." Also, you don't have to be sexually active to acquire a UTI either. I personally doubt your procedure has anything to do with it. Your best bet would be to get tested and presumably some antibiotics so that it doesn't worsen. Good luck.

What's an UTI?

A urinary tract infection. It can be acquired in many ways, including through sex (i.e. STD's), using an old, dirty "cum rag", and a variety of other ways. A filler procedure is very low on the list of possibilities; you're often dealing with a bacteria that comes in contact with the urethra (or any part of the urinary tract) itself, generally speaking.

Thanks for repying - I took antibiotics just in case and had a urine test to which there was no cultures found.

I am still experiencing some pain in my penis - more of an uncomfortable feeling - shooting/needling pain in different areas.

This seems to be worse after sex/masturbation.

Any idea what this could be ? what are the complications known to come with HA?
I don't have any swelling/red/itchy that would suggest an infection.

I noticed your post here and was wondering about the progression of your situation. Could you share any updates on how things have evolved?
