About 6 years ago, I went to urinate but not much came out. When it did, it really hurt and this went on for 20 minutes. This happened every 6 months until July last year. When it happened then, I would always have discomfort in my bladder and penis after urinating. I finally plucked up the courage to see my GP a few months ago who said it was nothing and I did a urine test which came back clear. I then went to another GP a few weeks ago and they said it was also nothing to worry about. I'm not sure how much longer I can go on with this.
Sometimes the discomfort is unbearable and sometimes I hardly notice it. Any ideas what this could be?

Did you see the GP when it was actually bothering you? Needs checking but sounds very much like cystitis - a urine/bladder infection more prevalent in women but happens with men too. Try and get it checked.
It could be cystitis, or is could be as simple as you not drinking enough. Check the colour of your wee...if it's clear, you are [quite possibly] drinking too much, if it's dark yellow, you may well be drinking too little.
