26 year old male, I was diagnosed with chlamydia 2 months ago and was prescribed 1 gm Zithromax which seemed to do the trick. My partner also took the same dose, we waited 72 hours before sex rather than the recommended 7 days which I was worried about. A couple days after sex I started to feel slight discomfort then progressed into frequent urination. I had some cipro the Dr prescribed me, (he originally thought it was a uti I had) I took it for two days (2 500mg day) as the symptoms persisted then I went and gave a urine sample at my Doctors office (question 1) could this cause a false negative? Three days later the nurse called and said the test came back negative for chlamydia. I was shocked, I thought it would be positive. I did a urine dipstick test on myself at work prior to taking cipro and their were no white blood cells or Nitrates in my urine so I pretty much ruled out a UTI... I keep myself very clean and drink plenty of water I thought for sure the clap was back and not uti. Anyway, I was put on a week of Doxycycline finished that and now am having the Dysuria again as well as a feeling in my bladder not of pain but of slight discomfort. My girlfriend and I had had sex one day after I finished the doxy. So what could this be is my question if I came back negative for chlamydia? I will get tested again in a week or so. What do you think?

Thank You

You are most likely fine.  If you have had sex between the first and second treatment, have your girlfriend test.  If she was reinfected, you would know that you had sex too soon.  Also, she would need to be treated again.  You don't want to keep passing it back and forth.

Thank you 2terrified a couple more questions...are you a doc or healthcare professional btw?

Now the frequent urination is not as bad but when I need to go I need to go. but now there is a burning sensation in my testicles and bladder area no burning when I urinate however. It feels like I have some bengay on my testicles and in my bladder if that makes sense...I will get tested for chlamydia again next week i guess. What is this!? I hope to hell the clap is not back. Could this be prostatitis? Its not a uti pretty sure of that...

I am not a doctor or a healthcare professional.  But I have had std's.  I have asked my own questions of health care professionals and doctors.  I listen to what they say and retain information given to me.  So, I am sharing information that I have learned from my own personal experience.  

So you know, no one on free forum is a doctor associated with MedHelp.  All of them are on the expert forum and require a $15 fee to answer your question.

Unfortunately, your symptoms could be associated with a few things...the best thing you can do is keep following up with your doctor or ask in the expert forum (it may take a while for them to get back to you but they will.)
