Scared as Hell

[ConcernedWorried321]

Last Sunday I was with a girl there was no penetration but there was genital contact and masterbation (masturbation).  Wednesday I noticed a discomfort on the tip of my penis.  No noticable discharge just slight burning and discomfort.  Saturday they did a urine test and gave me cipro. I felt like crap after taking the cipro fever, loss of appetite and tired. This Tuesday I noticed a burning on my inner thighs and redness on my testicles.  It is also tender and dry in the crease where my groin meets my thigh.  The buring is also still there.  I havent heard back from the doctor yet and I am terrified.  What does this sound like?  If it is chlamidia or gonorhea wouldnt it have been cleard up already?  Please help.

It is not a STD. See your Dr, sounds more fungial then anything.

[ConcernedWorried321]

Thanks I go back Saturday hopefully the urine test results will be available.  The burning at the tip seems to be getting a bit better and the burning of the thighs comes and goes.  Could I have got a fungal infection from the girl?  If so how common is this?

[ConcernedWorried321]

Dont know if this changes anything but initially i only had the burning of the penis accompanied by frequent urination.  I also have experienced lower back pain and have abdominal pain.  Thanks again for your responses.

The back and abdominal pain has nothing to do with a STD. The burning and frequesnt might be a STD.

You can get a fungal infection from anything but not from someone else during sex.

So last night things seemed to be getting better, but then I was showering and noticed a large lump in my scrotum above my testicle.  I went to the clinic to have it checked out and explained the previous symptoms. on duty doctor examined it and didnt seem to worried but gave me 4 cefixime and one azithromycin.  By the time she had examined the swelling (lump) had gone down.  She is sending me for an ultrasound of the testicle and urine tests. 2 hours after taking the antibiotics the burning in my legs returned as well as the redness in my testicles as well as buring in the urethra that had seemed to subsided the previous two days.  This morning I went to the initial doctor for a follow up and because the lump in he right testicle returned in the shower again.  He examined and is sending me for urine test and confirmed the xray but didnt seem to worry.  He also thinks the burning sensation in my legs is more of a mental thing.  He said I probably have epididymis and to follow up next week.  Also to clarify the initail contact was her rubbing her vagina on my penis but no penetration.

[ConcernedWorried321]

Does this seem right? Why did the symptoms seem to worsen with the antibiotics?  How long will it take for this to go away?  Is there anything else I should be on the lookout for?

[ConcernedWorried321]

I have been using some over the counter antifungal cream and keeping the area dry which seemed to help.  I still have occasional burning/discomfort at the tip of the penis and my right testicle, thigh, abdomen can hurt like hell at times.  I'm supposed to see the doctor for a follow up this Saturday. No test results back yet.  How long does this take to clear up?  It can be really painful at times.  Can it be caused by something not STD related?  Is there anything I can do to aid the recovery?  Please help.

Best advice is to talk to your Dr when you see him. I think things are more mental at this point then anything else.

The gonorhea and chlamidia tests came back negative and urine looked ok.  Burning/itching on thighs and groin seems worse with heat.  Was feeling a bit better, now I have a fever and upset stomach again.  I was thinking alot of symptoms were anxiety related as well but just when I think things seem better something else comes up.  I felt better after the Cerfixime, then worse again, felt better this weekend now feel sick tonight.  I folllow up with doctor Saturday again.  He gave me muscle relaxants for epidimutus and they seem to help with the pain but the urethra discomfort continues on and off and the burning itching in the groin/thighs returned today.  I dont know what to do anymore I just want this to clear up.  Do you still think this could be a fungal infection?

[Vance2335]

No clue what it is but not STD related and symptoms of fever and upset stomach are nothing to do with anything other then a cold/flu.

[ConcernedWorried321]

I still have a burning urethra and it seems to drip after urinating.  Urinating doesnt cause discomfort it just comes and goes.  This has went on for over a month and is getting really aggrevating.  

[Vance2335]

There is nothing more we can do for you here because this is not STD realted. You need to keep working with your Dr on this.

[ConcernedWorried321]

Thanks for the assistance Vance.  Hopefully they will find out soon.

FYI-All my tests came back negative.  I was told irritation is due to weakened immune system from illness.  I thought I would let anyone know who may read this in the future looking for similar symptoms.  My only advice would be if you are worried go directly to the walk in clinic and ask to be tested for everything.  They are helpful and it sure beats worrying about it.
