herpes? yeast? prostate issue?


I recently had oral sex from my girl friend of eight months. this is our first sexual experience. i later got some marks on my penis which a doctor diagnosed as a red **** from vigorous oral sex. possible skin irritation but nothing to be alarmed about but it has been persistent. my symptoms include:

- frequent urination at night
- not fully done peeing but it stops or not full urination
- redness; small red spots but i was told it was discoloration not herpes
- flaky skin on penis head
- muscle pain
- neck pain, almost like it is swollen
- groin pain - testicles & pelvis area
- clear discharge that sticks to my boxers almost like pre *** but is very little
- pain in penis that shifts sometimes left or right?
- other

i have been given different prognosis. its been persister over a month. my girlfriend has gotten checked out & had no prior infections. says things came back negative but i am skeptical. i know she has had cold sores before. i did however notice nothing to prevent me from allowing her to perform oral sex. i would love to get closure. i have yet to see a specialist. my GP wont give me a referral and stated a little discharge of semen is normal. my girlfriend has been faithful too my knowledge. i am a little worried now. its carried on over a month. the penis burning is uncomfortable. a doctor checked my prostate and says it is enlarged which could cause penis pain around the tip. a burning sensation though normal? what does this sound like? i got some cream for a yeast infection & fucidin. any help would be appreciated. i am looking into a referral for a specialist as this has been awhile. all tests including multiple swabs, urine, and physical examinations came back negative. i never had a herpes test though. only examinations and a couple of those at that. any help is appreciated. i haven't had puss, blisters, or itching. i notice with cream on i may get the odd itch but nothing out of the ordinary. thanks.

It sounds like your friend has HPV.  Right now, she probably has an abnormal pap smear.  Yes, these are sometimes called pre-cancerous, but very rarely does this turn into cancer.  Obviously, the doctors aren't too concerned, or they wouldn't be having her wait 6 months to test again.

This is VERY common.  80% of people will have HPV in their lifetimes.  I am sure she is a little scared, but she is going to be just fine, and there is nothing to worry about right now.

You don't have herpes, ok?

Hey, let it go man.  Take it easy.  believe me, genital herpes is VERY easy to detect just by looking at it.  Essentially any doctor will be ablke to tell clearly if it is herpes.  herpes has a very distinctive characteristic about it.  What may be more difficult is that if it NOT herpes, they may have more difficulty and need to run more tests to determine exactly what it is.  But, if it were herpes, they (any of them) would no it.  If you have had one, two now even three doctors say it isn't herpes, believe them.  It isn't herpes.  Put yourself at ease, get out from under the undue stress and relax about it.

By the way, jock itch (rash) can be a real bear to get rid of.  

Words of experience on both accounts above man.  

All the best.

thank you Jessi & Grace + others. i have bothered the medical staff for awhile and i am thankful how supportive and helpful people have been. i spoke with my ex today. i just got news today of my best friend's sister coming down with cancer. it was misdiagnosed by a doctor a year ago. a new bump was taking out which wasn't cancerous however, the cells around it were. any way, the girl, my ex told me she got called back for her pap test that the cells scanned needed to be scanned again that she may have cancer. then she says they will do another one in 6months. this is a prime reason why i have trouble keeping my sanity with her. if someone had cancer they would get them help not check for something later and she went onto say she could have it. frig i am so annoyed i ever got involved with her. a sweet girl but a mistake non the less.

Jessi, Grace, anyone, what is the likeliness of the specialist contradicting these past doctors diagnosis? i have heard some on here and it concerns me. i just want my life back you know? i am entirely putting my faith in God and saying my prayers. the sad part is i haven't had sex yet and the truth is that i may have something ever before i ever do. i'll keep reinforcing positivity that i have recieved from you and the doctors that it is prostiatitis and jock itch, nothing else. any way, thank you so much. do you suggest i get checked for this blackout? i haven't had it again but i have had the faint feeling once more without the falling. thoughts? thanks.

If you pass out again, please get seen for that.  People don't pass out for no reason.

In the meantime, good luck to you.

i am trying to relax. i was at church on Sunday and i said i had enough with all this non-sense. i just want to get better and i got to pull myself out of this. i was losing it on saturday. i went entirely the whole night without sleep. they think i have an anxiety disorder which i want to take control of before this thing gets out of control. i have a limited sex drive. i have also noticed myself blacking out lately. i went to the washroom at my best female friend's house. i tried to use her washroom. when i failed to go i went to stand up and i went light headed. my leg buckled and i fell against what i thought was a wall but was really a door. i blacked out. i felt someone poking me. i just gasped for a breathe. i find my best female friend standing over me giving me water. she helps me up and i then notice my pants and stuff down. i haven't ever been more embarrassed in life.

i don't know what the **** is wrong with me. i hate this. i don't wanna see any more doctors though. i have seen enough. i think it may have to do with low iron level and the combo of stress/anxiety as i have my appointment with the specialist. i am fearful of getting contradicting news from the specialist. i just want to tell you i appreciate you help. i mean, this doesn't do anything for your life. i had enough of this. i am taking control. moving on with my life. i thank you again.
