Background: 25 year old male, and I live in New Zealand (therefore NZ time). I had unprotected sex the previous weekend (Saturday), she was my 3rd sexual partner. She has not shown any signs of sickness.
Symptoms:
About Tuesday - started to hurt a little when I urinated, but I did not think it was anything major. During this period I was previously on a diet, consumed large amounts of caffeine, so I thought it was related to that.
Weds - Thurs - it started to hurt a lot more when urinating, but this pain only lasts when I initially start to urinate. The pain is felt at the head of my penis.
Fri - went to the doctor, urine sample collected and was given apo-azithromycin 2 x 500mg to be taken straight away. Urine results may take some time to be analyzed due to Xmas. I also noticed redness and a small ulceration when I open up my urethra hole.
Sat - Sun - seems as though I am getting worse, an increase in ulceration inside my urethra. I also feel raised, painful lymph nodes in my neck and around my bladder. It still hurts to pee, I am unsure whether the pain is the same amount, or less.
I do not have any noticable discharge, but perhaps a bit of clear discharge as it appears my urethra is a bit wet looking. I can't say I am itchier than usual. No noticeable difference in appearance of my penis (apart from the small ulcerations and redness when in my urethra).
Questions:
I believe it is very likely I have an STD, but I do not know which ones it is. My first guess would be a form of Chlamydia, but I obviously need this forums expertise.
Is it possible that I may need to get worse before I get better as I have been showing an increase in signs after the medication??
I will go for a blood test tomorrow.
I appreciate all input greatly.
