STD symptoms/ possible transmission thru ultrasound

Last December i went to the OB to check for PCOS through transviganal ultrasound. after a few days i had discharge thats smelly but lasted only for a short time(maybe a couple of days, i thought it was because of the lube the doc used for the probe).  i had also experienced a cramp around that time on my lower belly and discomfort around pelvic region( i thought it maybe due to the stretching because i just had started doin yoga to help with my pcos). Altho after a few weeks my discharge has gone back to normal with no smelly odor, and i am usually dry this recent months. Around april i had intercourse with my partner.  Earlier this june my partner said he was expeeinecing symptoms of std. He went for a test and it came out negative the doc said results were normal. He went to get tested on another clinic and the prediagnosis was gonorrhea, the final result will yet to be given. I went to my OB 3 days ago to follow up on my pcos problem. I also consulted her about the possibility of Std. She did an ultrasound and told me that my fallopian tube was inflammed/infected. She prescribed me antibiotics. She didnt require me any lab test anymore. But i was thinking of going for lab test after my medication is over.

I am in a dilemma where the Std (if it is) possibly transmitted from. There is two possibility that i could think of, the transvaginal ultrasound last december or from the intercourse last 2 months ago. Tho my partner claims he has not cheated on me.

Is the smelly  discharge a symptom of Std or is it normal given that it went back to normal later on?

The transvaginal ultrasound would not transmit an STD. Most of the time, they have covers for them that they use once for each patient, or it's disinfected between patients, and STDs die quickly once exposed to air, so even if they didn't do either of those things, you wouldn't be infected.

How long have you been with your partner? If it's been a short time, it's possible that he got an STD prior to being with you. If it's been years, he cheated.

I do wonder about his negative tests if you both had symptoms. Has he been treated for anything? Have you seen his tests?

What were you treated with? Do you know the name of the medication? Was it taken once? For 7 days? Was it a shot?

If you do test, it will be hard to rely on your results right now since you took the meds. I'd love to know the names of them, though.

We have been together for 5 years now. And we only had 1 sexual contact last april in about more than 7 mos from today

his symptoms tho are pus-like discharge, a burning feeling when urinating, he also said his penis felt itchy .
I only saw his result on urinalysis which states -
           microscopic examination
            Pus cells--------------  >30 hpf
            Red blood cells-----  1-2 hpf
            Mucus thread--------few
            Bacteria.   ------------- Moderate

            White blood cells ----  +3

  The result of his other tests will yet to be given..He was also given oral antibiotics.
    
I was given doxyciline and co-amoxiclav   625mg and doxycyline 100mg to be taken for 14 days
I really, really wish they had tested you. His discharge could be gonorrhea or chlamydia. I'd lean more towards gonorrhea.

Your doxy will cure chlamydia, but nothing you are taking will cure gonorrhea.

With pus cells of >30, he definitely has an infection. If he didn't get a shot, he probably wasn't properly treated either, although some oral medications can treat it.

If you've been together for 5 years, I'm very sorry to say that he has cheated. Someone did, and if it wasn't you, it had to be him. There is just no way you'd both be without symptoms for so long.

If you find out he cheated after April, you're fine. If you find out he cheated prior to April, you need to make sure you get a shot of ceftriaxone from your doctor.

I'm really very sorry this is happening.

Thank you so much for your time in answering my queries.
