Thanks for all the work you do on this forum. I have a straight-forward question. About 4 days ago I had protected sex (condom) with a CSW in China. The condom did not break, it was a brief encounter, and we both showered before and after the encounter. However, starting about 1.5 days later I had some burning inside my penis, close to but not on the tip, almost like in the urethra. I have browsed the internet and there is conflicting information about gonorrhea/chlamydia infection if a condom is used.
I have no other symptoms - discharge, fever, etc., only some gastro issues which are par for the course for me when traveling. The pain is not worse when urinating or masturbating. It more like a constant light burn. I will return home in 5 days and would like to get this resolved quickly. Is it possible to contract gonorrhea or chlamydia with protected sex? I am thinking that the burning is more likely related to the size of the condom (small) that they seem to use here and that perhaps I gave myself a small urethral tear. It looks like meds are readily available over the counter here so trying to figure out if I should buy some Cipro and/or Zithromax/Doxycycline or just leave it alone. I should mention that about 8 months ago I was diagnosed with a rather strong UTI, which is less common for men but maybe I am more prone possibly due to frequent and long travel to tropical areas.
Thanks for your thoughts!
