Just Thinking
Good morning sir. I have interacted with you on a previous expert opinion concerning a HSV2 scare. Since that time over a year ago I have had this pinch feeling in the head of the penis. The skin on the shaft of the penis itch sometimes as well. I have been to the doctor numerous of time, but nothing was wrong. I have also had a cystoscopy done and nothing was gound as well. Since my HSV2 scare in July 2012, everything has been fine other than the feeling previously mentioned. recently, my wife has been having frequent yeast infections. She would take over the counter yeast infection medication and it would go away. She has had her annual pap and described symptoms to her doctor. Her doctor stated that she was fine because if it was something else, yeast medication would not have releaved her symptoms.
After taking all std test that I can think of, i read about trichamonasis and it symptoms. It stated that its mostly found in women and is hard to find in men. Most men are treated when their partner is diagnosed with it. I have never tested for it, but I have taken metronidozole twice just in case. Im starting to think that my wife is having yeast infections because of me. I'm just ready to resume normal life because this has been bothering me for some time now. It also feels like I have a slight pressure feeling right above the pubic arae. Previously you stated that it could be cpps. So far I have taken and Tested for Chlamy twice--Negative
Gonno---Once Negative
Syph once---Negative
HIV twice---Negative
HSV1 Once---Negative
HSV2 Three---Negative Last test was done 7 months after last sexual encounter.
I have taken Cipro,Dyoxcillin,Bactrum, Lotrisone cream,Pyridium and metronidazole because I thought it could have been trichomonasis.

You don't need to take fluconazole (Diflucan); it wouldn't make any difference in your wife's risk for recurrent infection. Women do not acquire yeasts from their partners. Yeast is present all the time -- it resides normally in the vagina, rectum, on the skin, etc. When an apparent new yeast infection appears, it arises from within -- i.e. the yeast already there grows to larger numbers or causes more inflammation.
Assuming the fluconazole helps, and if your wife continues to have recurrent yeast infections, she should talk to her doctor about taking fluconazole once a week on an ongoing basis, which usually is highly effective in preventing flare-ups.

morning doc. just wanted to inform you that my wife went to the doctor and it was confirmed that it was yeast. They gave her two diflucan pills 150mg each. Do you think i should try taking diflucan just in case we are passing it back and fourth between each other.

I could use your description to teach medical students about typical symptoms of vaginal yeast infections: itching, scant discharge, no odor. In women with repeated infections, it is common for their yeasts to become resistant to standard treatments. Your wife's possible infection has nothing to do with your own symptoms and almost certainly is not herpes.
My wife is going to doctor today because she has been itching in the vaginal area, it looks like she has a white substance with no smell. Im freaking out. She said that when she would take yeast infection medication, it would go away. I hope everything is ok.
Thank you so much sir.

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your question.
There is nothing in your symptoms that suggests any STD. Most women who have experienced vaginal yeast infections are pretty good at recognizing them; if her symptoms are typical for yeast and respond to self-treatment, then probably that's what it is. Trichomonas symptoms are not like yeast, and would not respond to yeast treatment.
All the tests you mention are very reliable; you can be confident you do not have any of the infections for which you were tested. Finally, if somehow you had been infected with any bacterial STD, or with trichomonas, the treatments you had would have cured you.
You don't end up actually asking any question -- but I assume you simply want to know whether you might have any STD. All the evidence says no. I see no reason for worry, and would urge you to ignore the minor symtoms you report. Don't have any more tests and stop seeing doctors about them, unless there is a significant change. Not all symptoms mean disease. I would also encourage you to not search the internet about your symptoms.
I hope this has been helpful. Best wishes-- HHH, MD
