Dull ache, tingling/itching in urethra opening

About 8 days ago i had unprotected sex with a woman i met at the bar. We keep in touch and she has been married for 12 yrs to the same guy and swears she has never done anything like that and has been faithful to that day. However, about 2 days after i started to feel a slight burning/itching feeling near the tip at the urethra opening. Now about 8 days the feeling is still there accompanied by random dull acheing in the left side of my penis near the head mostly (but seems to moving down the shaft maybe). none of this is very painful, just irritating and worrisome. Also, I had sharp bursts of pain in my right abdomen right below my ribs that lasted about a day and have gone now but for maybe once or twice since then i felt a little tiny bit of acheing there. Another strange thing is that recently i have noticed my penis is rather hard even in flaccid state, and i dont ever recall it being like that before. Also worth mentioning, I was pretty dehydrated and was about to just sum it up to irritated urethra from the concentrated urine (the feeling in my urethra tip did start about the time i peed for the first time that day as i recall, but im not completely sure about that since i at first it felt more like i jsut had to constantly pee) but that wouldnt account for the acheing in my penis and pains in my right abdomen. Sometimes i feel like my lymph nodes under my arm pits are hurting but its short lived and may be in my head. We have both gotten tested and are currently waiting on results, but i fear it may be too soon and im afraid to say it but i am married as well and REFUSE to sleep with my wife until i know for sure everything is ok. I have no discharge, fever, swelling anywhere that i know of, no lesions or bumps yet, but i did have diahrea for about 4 or 5 days after having sex with her, though that has gone away for now. Has anyone else felt this? What is the likelihood of having contracted herpes? I'm scared to death for my wife, she said she would stay with me because she currently believes it could have been contracted from a prior experience when we were seperated/fighting, however i don't think i could risk giving her a life long std on top of lieing about it. On the other hand though her heart is just to damn fragile right now to break, it would destroy her.

Another thing to add is that my stool has been light light brown lately, pretty much yellow. I started drinking cranberry juice today. Also, on a side note. My stupid doctor tested me for everything BUT herpes which i told him was the one thing i was concerned with. Really made me mad..so im goin to get tested again on thursday with him just for that and also going to the health dept to get tested again by them. Im so pissed at him right now

Well, Im lookin at it this way, if she comes up negative and i show up negative than its a pretty slim chance we have anything. She really has been pretty stern on the fact she has never done anything like this before and is losing weight and freaking out like me. We both are going to continue testing periodically just in case. There are fears of mine because im anyting but naive, like the fact that she is 35 and has no kids after being with this guy for 12 years. Also, the girl i was with about 6 months ago (the one my wife knows about) had a kid and had a c-section..kinda makes me worried cause that is common practice for birthing with herpes and that girl was an ex gf of mine and was pretty vendictive, she left about 5 hickies on my neck before i could even get my tool out (and smiled after she did, i let her have it after that. *****). Leads me to believe that she may have had something and gave it to me on purpose out of spite..the whole misery loves company thing. My ultimate fear is that I will come up hot and this woman wont (because it would be too early to detect in her still), i would have ruined so many peoples lives out of ignorance. Thank you though for the reassuring words, they are much needed right now. Our results should be back in the next day or 2 so we should know something to put our mind at ease. We have both sworn this off..no more drinking without my wife present for sure.

Hello again,

I have felt this after sex with some women, and with NOT with other women.   Probably a higher power teaching us about infidelity.

In fact, "a slight burning/itching feeling near the tip at the urethra" some days after sex can be normal irritation of every day life.  Drink more cranberry juice.   You should see a doctor about this soon if it doesn't go away in the next couple of days.   It is very low chance that you caught a life long std.    

Finally, in my personal opinion, this is one experience your going to have to take to your grave.   Bite the bullet here and try your best to get through it --alone.
