So Many Gonorrhea Questions
I am so full of anxiety. I had a urine test done Thursday to test for C/G and am waiting for results. I am a gay male who received a BJ about 2 weeks ago. This is a chronology of the events is as follows:
- 2 weeks ago, insertive partner in oral sex (someone performed oral sex on me)
- about 3-4 days later I started taking 100mg of Doxy 2x/day for unrelated (acne) issue, as prescribed by dermatologist
- in next day or so I started to feel some discomfort (ache) under my testicles and a general burning sensation on head and shaft of my penis
- as well as some dribbling after urinating (like bladder isn't quite empty).
- Last Thursday I went to the dr and asked him to check for me - that I thought I had I might have a UTI, as I said earlier he ran a test for C/G among other things. it had been about two weeks since the oral sex and about a week since started taking the Doxy
- On Thursday I was given a shot of something and told to continue doxy for 10 days, which is not a problem since i am on it for 3 months anyway
- Today is Sunday and I am still experiencing the same symptoms and at same level - never had thick discharge (some clear liquid leaking) and still don't and still have similar level of... "discomfort".
I know I just need to sit tight and wait for tests but wanted to ask a few questions, if you don't mind, just to prepare myself for Tuesday.
1- how likely is contracting gonorrhea from receiving oral sex
2- Did the fact that I was taking doxy for a week before the test going to mess up the test? (I have seen some people say doxy does nothing to gonorrhea and others say effective just not drug of choice)
3- When should I start feeling better? I just got shot on Thursday but have been on Doxy for close or over 1.5 weeks?
4- Does the fact that symptoms seem same and that discharge was never like pictures that I saw online suggest something else might be going on?
Thank you for taking time to answer... I have been consumed with questions, so just decided to get them all down in one place. I appreciate your time.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me....
I wouldn't call it deep trout but it was pretty intense. I am now, of course, beginning to see symptoms that I never saw before treatment (sitting here 3 days post treatment), I am now thinking I see white discharge in the toilet bowl but I am unsure because I had put toilet paper in bowl etc...
Just trying to hold it together. You and this community are appreciated.

Hi
1. If it was not a "deep throat" oral then next to zero
2. possibly
3. about a week but if did not have any white discharge from the urethra at any time there is no sign of infection.
4. have your prostate checked as inflamed prostate can effect urine flow.
