4 weeks post exposure

4 weeks ago had dumb moment where I was drunk and didnt realize what I had done till it was too late. As soon as u penetrated her I could feel a burning sensation. Still continued until I was done. Once done and I had burned off some of the alcohol I realized wut u had done.  Got back to my room and washed right away (not like that was gonna do anything if she did have something). Still felt burning for a week and then went in to get checked. Found out I had balanitis. Figured since it burned when I started to have sex. Got clotrimozle (excuse my spelling) and used it as perscribed. Still was feeling burning sensation all around my groin and thighs. 1 1/2 weeks later symptoms kinda calmed down but still bothered. Maybe still had lingering since I am not circumcised.  Ended up getting nystatin and triamcinolone and used it for about 5 days. On 5th day my right testicle was feeling heacy and in pain and my right leg felt numb. Went into er and nothing they could do. Gave me a urethra swab to see if anything got inside  and that was negative. Things looked ok but still have dull pains here and there in the pelvic area. So we are at 4 weeks now and i start to get flu like symptoms. Couldnt eat felt nauseas. Lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks sressing and worrying about this. Tues got urine test and negative for stds and uti. Today went and got blood test and waiting for results. Im getting paraniod. Not sure if its just me imaging these symptoms and making myself feel them or if something is really wrong. Best case is im hoping its nothing or just prostatitis. Wprse case is im screwed and messed up my life because of alcohol. My penis head still feels inflamed but doesn't look it. I try and keep it clean and wash it with just water.

Othet things I have tried for relief on penis is olive oil and tea tree oil and some lotion leaving my foreskin pulled back for about 20 mins when I do it.

Other symptoms: I have this burning sensation in my left leg between my quad and groin. (Not sure if its the herpes symptom or my shingles having a recurrence because of all the stress I put myself through.

I keep getting long bumps on my penis but soft and disappear when I stretch the glan like if its my foreskin putting pressure on my head. I jave pics but not sure where to post. Please can someone help me. Thanks.

So still waiting on results but realized something today.

1. I have pain mainly when I sit down.
2. When im sitting down and all I think about is the incident I start ffeeling everything down there.
3. Before it was a burn feeling on my thigh to it being a pain like if its sore or something or hurt it.
4. I can get done peeing and still have pee coming out and i can get done peeing and feel i have to go pee again maybe 5 to 10 mins later. (Could this be prostatitis?)
5. Finally ate lunch for the first time in a week.


Still feeling like I have a fever but I know I dont.

Although I havent gotten results im pretty sure ill be negative. I think I drove myself thinking all the symptoms. I do believe is that somehow see how she had a bad yeast infection that somehow I havent got rid of it, it might have gone into my urethra n reached my prostate.  Because after about 30 mins after I was done I felt pain in my scrotum and it wasn't from doing it to hard.

Lets hope for the best.

Thank you. Im trying to stay calm and ill try my best today not to keep looking at it. Im not sure if the steroid cream theu gave me kidna damaged my penis head and that is why my penis doesnt even look the same. I the base of my penis hurts but when I check it there is nothing but the things I mentioned earlier. Idk what to do. Im afraid. I keep feeling stuff but think its in my head. One sec im fine no prob then im not. Im so neasueas and I think im making myself like this.

If you ever need to chat on private message through here, you are welcome to do so. I know EXACTLY how you feel. My symptoms all started after a night of drinking and a likely sexual assault.  I was very angry and scared at first, and sometimes still am. It really hasn't done anything for me though.

Whatever your final result, it is what it is. We learn from our experiences, including our mistakes. It really is a small problem in the bigger picture of life.  I don't mind if I have HSV-2 at this point, just want a diagnosis and treatment for my symptoms.

I know how difficult it is to not think about it and not stress. I have been going through these feelings for over a year now. I can say that checking will further irritate the area and really does nothing for you.

Try to relax. If you have the money- take a specific IGG at 8 or 9 weeks to give you some consolation if negative or direction if positive/building antibodies.  If money is an issue, just wait until 12, or 16 if you want to be extra careful, weeks.

I think im becoming a hypercondriact (excuse my spelling) im so paranoid I check my penis 20 times a day. Mu hands r getting irritated. Everytime I feel something I go and check it in the bathroom. How do I deal with this. I havent even gotten results yet and im going nuts. I finally opened up last night to someone about it and it helped relieve some anxiety but still today was bad. Im lost right now. Please excuse the misspellings I  am using my phone.

I have papules but those r not it.  Ots like a bunp after u have a misquito bite.  But looks like the forskin hugging the head instead of it being grown. When I retract my penis is goes down after awhile. My penis head began to dry and the olive oil and tea tree oil seem to be the only thing that helps. Prior to this emcounter I had no issues. Ugh

I have been having the same issue for over a year now but no confirmed diagnosis of anything really. I did have a single sore at 8 weeks exposure but continue to test negative via IGG tests.

I want to think I am having skin issues like yeast or even a BV infection (I am female) but they can't get that cultured either.

The bumps you describe seem to be normal penile skin bumps, I have seen them be called papules.

It is my understanding that you do not feel burning right away from a herpes infection.  The incubation period is longer, I believe 2-14 days.

I had to stop using nystatin cream cuz my penis started turning purple at the rim and I had alot of pressure. So not sure if that had anything to do with my testicle and leg as well
