Hey everyone. Let me start off by saying thank god for this site and people that belong to it. Here is my issue, I went to the bar 2-3 weeks ago and ended up meeting a 38 yr old woman (I'm 28), we had some drinks and one this lead
and finished. Basicly I'm kicking my self in the *** because I'm afraid in that short period of time I could of caught something. I asked her if there was anything I need to worry about and she reassured me (of course) that there isn't anything to worry about. I'm not sure if my mind is playing tricks on me, but the next day I felt a burning feeling (not painful
has been more yellow then usual without a strong smell. I'm just super worried because this is something I never do. Tonight I experienced lower abdominal pains, but I did attempt to make my own sushi tonight, and I been a bit nauses every since. Any kind of help is appreciated.
I think the chances that you got anything are fairly low, but I think you need to get tested. You wouldn;t get symptoms the next day, but since you are having some vague symptoms still, you should test.
Thank you sooooo much for your help, its much appreciated. Is it possible to catch anything with only a few minutes of unprotected sex? I think a lot of this is my mind overthinking this situation. I'll take your advice and as soon as I can I will get checked out (I travel a lot for work). And no more home made sushi for me!
Its possible, but obviously, the longer the contact, the better the chances of transmission.
The mind is a powerful thing, and I firmly believe it creates symptoms - its called heightened awareness. You are focusing on your genitals so much looking for symptoms, that you notice things that are normal that you wouldn't otherwise notice.
I have been wondering this as well. I had clymidia a year ago and there have been 3 times that i "swore" the syptoms (symptoms) were coming back. including now. all 3 times the tests came back negative. i remember it being a horrible experience and am constantly checking myself(almost daily) since. i have since wondered how many feelings of uncomfort or irritation of the tip of the penis are normal because i pay such close attention to it now. which leads me to a question: can you get std's in a hot tub or will the chemicals and heat kill off them? i had a wild night with multiple people in a hot tub about 3 weeks ago and am back to the "severly worried, checking myself daily" stage. thanks
I do not have insurance so I don't want to pay a 4th time for a negative test. I remember th
e symptoms being brutally obvious : inflamed tip of the penis, milky discharge and horrible burning when peeing. Ì have no discharge and minor inflammation of the
Tip and no burning when peeing. Is it possible to have minor symptoms? I remember the inflammation was the last symptom to show up because it was caused by the discharge.
1none1 - Go to an std clinic. Its usually free or very low cost, and I've never heard of one that will turn you away for lack of ability to pay. You might want to make your own thread to help keep things straight (for me lol).
