    If touched, there is a little pain but no other symptoms. No itching. No problem in urinating.

    I have taken tablets as advised by urologist & 75% cured but not complete.

    Tablets prescribed by urologist are :
    Augmentin 625mg – 2 per day. 8 days
    Doxycycline 100mg – 1 per day. 8 days.
