Thank you Dr. I will follow up after I see the urologist. Take care.
1. Most unlikely.
2. This does not suggest HSV in any way, lesions would be present .
Please let us know the urologist says. EWH
Thanks Dr. Hook I appreciate the quick response . i just have a couple follow up questions if you would be so kind to indulge me and then will put this to rest until I see the urologist.
1) just to clarify I was not tested for ngu or trich...was tested for everything else (hsv2, chlamydia, gon, syp, hiv) at the 10 week mark all negative. Could ngu or trich cause symptoms like mine consistently for months?
2) would atypical hsv cause this type of consistent mild pain/irritation for months without obvious penile lesions or is that unlikely?
I do understand that anxiety can play a factor and if it makes a difference the encounter was unprotected for maybe 30 sec-a minute before i thought better of it and stopped, granted i guess it only takes one time...but I never felt this way before the encounter that I know for sure. Thank you very much for your time it's greatly appreciated.
Welcome to the Forum. I'll be pleased to comment. I anticipate that your tests will be negative and that when you are seen by the urologist that he/she will see no abnormalities either. Your initial symptoms began sooner than would be expected for an STD and the symptoms you have experienced since are non-specific. The symptoms you describe are typical of what is often seen when persons start to look for symptoms- they tend to become aware of normal sensations which they would otherwise overlook.
My advice is to do your best not to worry, to believe your test results and if you have been regularly examining yourself, please stop - this could very well be the source of your urethral irritation.
I hope this assessment and advice is helpful. EWH
