Slight irritation, tip of penis or possible urethritis?

[QuestionableRegret]

I had oral sex, intercourse and anal sex during a one night stand.  The oral I received was unprotected, the other sex was with condoms.  This fling was over a week ago.  I have noticed in recent days slight discomfort (itch?) coming from the area around the tip of my penis, possibly inside of my penis as well.  The discomfort seems to come and go, but it is still present daily.  No lesions anywhere in my genital area, no discharge at all, no painful testicles and no painful/burning urination.  I have not ejaculated since the encounter (no fear driven than anything), so I can't attest as to if that is painful.  I can't tell if the slit in my penis head (the meatus?) is slightly red or not...I've never really studied my penis this intensely before.

I have been trying to research online, but have been unsuccessful trying to find out if I could have an STD with such limited symptoms.  Or if I have another condition (urethritis? UTI? fungus?) that could have developed either from the encounter or coincidentally?  Or am I passing a stone?  I feel some slight abdominal pain, but thinking that might be psychosomatic from all of the research I've been doing.  

I'm very scared, made a mistake and afraid it's going to ruin my marriage.  If any advice on what my situation could possibly be, or explanation of similar symptoms, I would be appreciative.  Or recommendations for other resources if someone knows of any.

[Ronjo20]

I had oral unprotected but sex with a condom. I feel slight discomfort around my penis but no discharge no burning or anything. It's been almost 2 weeks. What do you think it is?

[Mikedeeeeess]

I am going to save your life.  Get anti fungal cream and out it at the tip.  You are welcome

that being said, this was the only place that I've seen someone say that they found an antibiotic that worked. It is possible that its all in may head since I am underconstant stress at work and at home and with family, and that the unprotected sex and x2 oral was the "last stressor that broke the camels back. But I doubt it. Like someone posted we all know our bodies and this is not average. Has anyone else used this Cipro? did it work? and has anyone had any changes or advancements in themselves or with a partner? I wouldn't wish this on a worst enemy. Not that I'd have sex with a worst enemy..... LOL. I'm just saying that I would hate to pass this along to someone else. Ive tried 2 different kinds of antibios and have the same symptoms that questionable did. Please respond.

[prayingforgrace]

I am so suprised and disappointed that no effort has been made to make it known that there is a condition out there that give men the same symptoms that we all have (aside from being disappointed in myself from having unprotected sex with a girl that I barely know). I regret it, I made a mistake and I"m paying the price now but.... to go to the doctors and to have them tell you that "it may be psycological because all of your tests are negative" just doesnt do it for me. Back in school, when they told us about ghonno and clamydia they should have told us about this! Even if it is just an extension of the magnitude of my guilt. Others need to know that through (oral and maybe unprotected sex also because I was drunk enough to have both) you can obtain a slight sting at the tip of your penis. And it may last for the rest of your life. Its been almost 3 months for me now, but on other poss I've seen people saying that they've lived with it for years with no resuts.

That doesn't sound like herpes at all!

[Its_ok]

Looks like you have herpes. Get checked out. It's treatable but not cure able. First break out always the worst. But it dies down over time.
Lack of sleep, stress, eating ****, drugs and alcohol as well as anything with aspartame will make you break out. That's my diagnosis... Good luck

[AnxiousEnough]

I am afraid I Hav a similar story but a little worse! .I think I  Had unprotected sex and oral on sat last.. Was a drunken mistake... It's now tues.. I Hav what seems to b a red foreskin (underneath) and my penis head looks like it was sunburned and is now peeling. It's only at the very end (foreskin end as in not the tip).. It's worrying the crap outta me and I am normally a really anxious person so I find my self seeping into a slight depression.. Anybody kno If this is not an sti and I really hope it isn't and it's just coincidental that it's happening now!! Thanks 4 any responses!!

[Musa1981]

Hi All,
I am also exact on the same boat, I only had unprotected oral sex and next day I found all those above symptoms. I am waiting for the results all possible diagnosis. I dont know what to do now. I am very depressed now. Has anyone have a test for Herpes? Plz help me!!!!

[chaos540]

(because i know with anxiety you can prduce symptoms you really dont have.)

[anth871]

hi everyone,
So out of no where I got a red spot around the pee hole and it doesnt really hurt but burns every once and a while but not bad.  All of your comments have been reassuring for me its just been bothering me a lot since it started a few days ago.  I had unprotected sex about 2 years back for only a short time but engage in protected and sometimes unprotected with my current girlfriend.  She got an STD screen at the doctor and she was clear and I think this means Im good too I'm just looking for some answers.  I was masterbating alot but now since stopped.  I figured its just irritation because that is all thats happened.  Any help is much appreciated.

[CuriousRegret90]

Hey Forum.
               About a month ago i had a one nighter. She gave me alittle oral and we had protected sex. I also masturbate regularly every day about 2 times a day. I also use my own saliva to masturbate with. This (ichy?) feeling has only started this morning. There is no discharge and  there is no redness, no bumps. I guess its just my mind racing but. I rather be safe, then sorry and would like to hear what others, who have been in my position have to say.

Thank you :)

[swiftymcnasty]

i had a burning in the penis after ejactulation the doctor perscribed me phenazopyridine had noit stis or stds erything came back negative my uretha was inflamed a bit which prolly came from alot of sex with my wife and frequent masturbation ..i would look into that medication and try it hope it works for you

[gracefromHHP]

glad you got answers and relief :)

[QuestionableRegret]

Just wanted to update the post that I did go see a urologist and I was diagnosed with prostatitis.  I was given a prescription for Cipro and my symptoms are gone.  My urologist did say that prostatitis can come and go...some guys more prone to it than others.  And any number of infections can cause it (even from a regular sexual partner who is faithful). Hope this helps. Good luck to everyone still struggling.

[QuestionableRegret]

I just wanted to add that just as it's important to follow-up on potential NGU issues, I think its also important to follow-up with a urologist and/or a dermatologist to rule out conditions associated with those subspecialties (depending on your symptoms or lack thereof).  I'm making appointments with both.

And while I concur that if we believe there is something medically wrong, to pursue answers, we also have to consider that the mind is very powerful and when mixed with guilt/anxiety/depression, we have to acknowledge that symptoms can be exacerbated more than they should.  This isn't to say anyone's "crazy" (myself included), but to bring us more resolution/peace, I do believe we need to consider all scenarios.

[nguquestions]

In an attempt to collect information in one place, here is a thread with over 400 different stories about our problems:

http://******.***********.***/showthread.php?s=d99b0b8b26b114f97743ebc130215f28&t=32050

And one particularly compelling case from this site:

Try to stay in touch guys. We need each other (especially if your symptoms have disappeared).

[shaken2core]

This is exactly the kind of thing that I had hoped would happen.  The more we communicate and share our experiences and treatments, the more we will learn and hopefully some of us will get better.  More importantly, just like nguquestions has stated, there are many of us out there who do not have answers, and undoubtedly there will be many more who follow in our foot steps and hopefully we can provide some useful information to help them as well.  There aren't many comprehensive resources where guys can go and read about others who are suffering from NGU and get good information.  It's scant and spread all over the net.  There are verious studies, but again, nothing comprehensive.  It's the reason I alwasy ask people to follow up and post their results.  Hopefully we can begin to get to the bottom of this and hopefully dispell this belief that unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex has little risk.  As you all can testify, it carries a huge risk and can have lasting consequences.  


Please do not let your doctor treat you like your crazy.  If they try to tell you it's all in your head, move on to another doctor that will work with you and try to get to the bottom of it.  nguquestions said it perfectly "Just because we can't be diagnosed doesn't mean there's nothing wrong."  Research and discuss what you've learned with your doctors and discuss it as a possibility.  Your doctor doesn't know everything, especially if they are a GP.  

For anyone living with this horrible disease/ infection, you know what it's like.  Your life is consumed by it because you can't think of anything else but NGU, what the cause is, and the thought of passing it on.  Please guys, continue to post your treatments, test results, and progress.

Please feel free to message me as well.  

[nguquestions]

I just thought I would weigh in on this given that I have been struggling with it for nearly a year. In late August 2010, I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex outside of my marriage. This was the first time I had ever done anything like this and thought I was being careful enough (based, in part, on the kind of advice you frequently hear on these boards) by using a condom. It turns out I was wrong.

The details of my story are here: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/Mycoplasma-genitalium-testing/show/1547774?personal_page_id=2221715#post_7028020

The short version is that I have had a great deal of sensitivity around the meatus and the coronal edge of my penis. Also, I have a very red and puffy urethral opening. I have no discharge but occassionally feel a stabbing pain in my penis (infrequently) and aching in my testicles (infrequently). The sensitivity is terrible because I feel it every time I walk around and my penis rubs against my undewear (which is every step). I have heard it described elsewhere as feeling like your penis is being dragged on concrete or that your underwear is made of sandpaper. These are good descriptions.

Every doctor has told me there is nothing wrong that the can uncover. I have had courses of Azithro, Cipro, Doxy, Metro, Erhtyo and Amoxicillin. I have tested negative for gong, ch. and evern ureaplasma. My UAs are just like the ones posted by QuestionableRegret - normal. No change to the sensivity however.

I also have a wife and am pretty sure I will lose her if I fess up and/or give her this disease. Dealing with this is unbearable. I know many of you can relate.

I want to second what shaken has said on this board - despite negative tests, we know when something is not right and we know that we were fine before our respective mistakes. Just because we cannot be diagnosed does not mean that there is nothing wrong. Of course, it is easy to fall into despair given this. But I am hoping that we can all find a solution by sharing our stories, sharing our treatments and staying proactive with our own health care. In particular, for many of us, a primary concern is transmitting this to our wives. Please let us know if this has happened and what her symptoms and results look like.

Feel free to message me if anyone out there wants to talk. It is shocking how many of us are out here without any solutions. My heart goes out to all of you.

[shaken2core]

are those results from your urinalysis?  It appears that you do not have a bacterial infection based on those results.  However, the meatitis is still giving you issues.  There is another person on the forum who is experiencing the same thing as you, even after repeated antibiotic treatment.  There are only a few other things that I can think of that may be the cause of this.  Ureaplasma or it's NGU caused  by adenovirus, which meatitits is a symptom.  You may want to explore these options more since your PSA looks good.  In response to your question about UTI without urination issues, yes, you can still have a UTI/ STI without all symptoms.  meatitis may mean nothing or it may indicate there is a problem.  

are you married or sexually active with anyone?  If you're not I was going to suggest you do a course of antibiotics and see how things go.  

[QuestionableRegret]

So these results would mean I'm in the clear, correct?

"Component Your Value Standard Range Units
WBC             6.3    4.0 - 10.0              K/UL
RBC                    4.75   4.50 - 6.00             M/UL

CULTURE RESULTS: NEGATIVE FOR CHLAMYDIA TRACHOMATIS AND NEISSERIA GOHNORRHOEA BY NUCLEIC ACID AMPLIFICATION."

HIV 1 and 2 AB's was negative as well. I still have the discomfort at my meatus, so I think I'll go see a urologist at this point.  My PSA came in low, so not so sure about prostatitis being possible anymore?  Could it be a UTI without urination issues?
