I have only had unprotected sex and sex in general with two people, one was a longterm relationship who had nothing, the other I had unprotected sex with one time, and she had no signs of anything that I saw, but then again I hear sometimes symptoms don't show for a lot of STD's. However there was also a third there was a slight contact between her and I, but no penetration.

After a week I started to notice a type of bruise pain, not a burning, when I peed.  That was the only symptom I had.  I went a got a swab test and came back positive for NGU.  They gave me two pills, and I took both of them.

That was two weeks ago, and while it isn't sore anymore when I urinate, I now have a small stinging feeling in the tip of my penis, especially if I apply a little pressure. And a slight awkward kind of feeling when urinating.  There is no visible discharge that I can see exiting the penis though.

I am wondering how long it usually takes the anti-biotics to work, and might I have something else even more serious?  I got some bloodwork done as well but have yet to see results.

I am very concerned.

Any information I can have would be greatly appreciated.

Quick update.  I heard some bloodwork results and I am negative for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphilis.

I am thinking it might have been from the swab test, because that was very painful, I will do as you suggest, but if the NGU wasn't from chlamydia, then where could I have gotten it?

I heard it is bacterial and is in the mouth, and I did receive oral from a girl that had sort of a cough....

hey jb

Im not an expert or anything;  but i do speak from experience as I was diganosed with NGU (non-chlamidial) about 3 months back.

the pain at the tip of your penis might be from the trama from the swab test,
people say that pain is suppose to go away in about 2 -3 weeks, but for me it took closer just over 2 months;
try not to inspect your penis so much, because that affects the "healing" process done by the swab, if you must inspect do it in the morning before you urinate but no more than that.  try not to " apply a little pressure " on it.   Drink stuff that will make your urine acidic; like vitamin C, cranberry juice etc, avoid spicy food or high fructose (sugar) liquids.

The tests were done at a clinic.  The pain has been dulled down, but the real problem is the stinging sensation I get if there is any pressure applied to the tip.

A week and a half after I took the medication I did drink alcohol, would this have an effect?

Medication normally takes as long as 2 weeks to work but most of the time shorter. No clue what could be going on, might want to follow up with your Dr on this.
