31st August
Definitely signs of infection, so I will test for the next two weeks and note the tingling feeling. As I've had this for a few weeks there is no indication that it will go away.
Today I noticed my pee came out 'faster' after a while, indicative of a blockage. As previously there were no signs of prostate enlargement, the possibility may be stones that cause bleeding and thereby an infection occurs, or other debris possibly from cysts or polyps that cause blockage and there is some decay in them resulting in infection. However the tingling implies the infection is in the walls of the urinary tract as infection in debris remains would be washed out easier and not necessarily be a continuous tingling sensation to the tract.

29th August
The new sticks arrived today and I used one to see if i had an infection. The Leukocytes may just have shown a small colouring but the nitrite was zero.

23rd to 27th August
Have bought 25 sticks that measure Leukocytes and Nitrites to check for infection. For the last few weeks I've had a more of a tingling sensation that twinges and it often seems in the urinary tract through the penis. It doesn't approach stinging.

Must call Derriford for the cytology samples and then call Shelly.

21st and 22nd August
Used Uritest sticks not Mission. They may show up more haem??

7th Aug 18:11 Well I've quite a lot to write up sometime.

• About the cytology update, especially the offer of help from Shelly
• The twinges have eased off and
• I didn't do a urine test yesterday so did an estimate
• Today was the first day with no marker for a while

Well the above points are more cheery

7th Aug 18:11 Sadly a haem marker I'm sure, very slight discolour ation on some edges. Had I had more been up and about earlier and had drunk more it may not have been noticed

Sadly there is a slight haem marker on my first day. Do bang goes this month being exempt. However it does mean I don't have to worry about being perfect, and I did do some strenuous work yesterday evening and am about to do so for some days. Oh well!

1st Aug
Also noteworthy is that I have had some light twinges for maybe a couple of weeks since.

I will test again later as the graph shows daily average

Key to data

Blood: Cells/µL

• N = none, L = less than, M = more than, D = see diary
• Haemolysis: ± = >10, + = >25, ++ = >80, +++ = >200
• Non-haemolysis: * = <10, ** = <50
• ? = indications, I = Interpolated
