Welcome to our Forum. I suspect you may be over reacting to your situation. You may have gotten non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) from either your efforts at rectal sex with your GF or with your receipt of oral sex from an unknown partner. In either circumstance what is likely to have occurred is that bacteria (either from the man's mouth or your GF's rectum) got into your urethra where is caused irritation. We call this irritation non-gonococcal urethritis and treat it with either doxycycline or azithromycin. Thus in either case, you have been treated for the likely cause of your symptoms.
In persons worried about STDs, the focus of their attention on their genitals tends to make normal sensations in the area more noticeable and to suggest to them that their infections have not resolved when actually they have. My advice is to try not to worry, to keep taking the doxycycline and to do your best to not focus in your genitals. EWH
I would really like to follow up with this after a response. please help, respond as quick as possible.
Thank you so much for your response doctor. So because of these few symptoms, which seem to be getting a bit better. I should not have to worry about re-occuring urethritis? just finish these antibiotics? would you suggest any creams? and also from what you are saying, im taking in that this is only a very mild form of urethritis? that possibly the first dose of azythromycin did not fully kill? i will try my absolute best to forget about this. seems to be working as i am not frequently peeing as much and that "warm/burning" feeling in urethra is subsiding. and myh last question is, is irritation NGU one of the more serious urethritis' or not?
thank you so much for your response, u put a lot of my worries at ease. p.s. should i follow up at an std clinic to see if it is fully gone? thanks again doc
Also one more thing doc,
I just was just spending a normal night with my friends, thought my burning went away today because i was not feeling it nor am i thinking about it really and i just went pee twice so far tnight and i still feel a burning sort of irritated sensation in the urethra. how long can i expect these symptoms to last? up to 2 weeks after the end of taking my pills i have heard?
There is no need for additonal therapy- I would just finish the medications you have. That you noticed a small amount of residual irritation during a quiet time yesterday is not uncommon - this was at a time when there were fewer distractions than otherwise allowing you to note the symptoms.
If you are concerned about resolution, I suggest that you discuss this with flks at an STD clinci but truely I see little reason to worry. EWH
