Urethral pain, feels like being poked by a doctor, what's going on

Patient's question:

Today, there was a infection on the penis. The doctor used a sharp object to poke into the urethral opening to collect a sample for testing. However, after being poked, the ureter has been in constant pain. There was no discomfort before the poking, but after it, walking became uncomfortable. Later, when collecting urine, urination was very painful, but after resting for a while, there wasn't much sensation. Just now, urinating again felt quite uncomfortable. Walking also caused a noticeable sharp pain, and the urine was a bit darker in color.

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a routine urine test to confirm the diagnosis before treatment. You can take Levofloxacin, Metronidazole, and Sanjin tablets for treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and avoid repeated infections. Drink more water to increase urine output. Avoid spicy and irritating foods such as leeks, scallions, garlic, pepper, and ginger. Avoid warm and hot foods such as mutton, dog meat, and rabbit meat, as well as greasy foods, to prevent inflammation from worsening. Abstain from sexual activity.
