Stressed and need help!

[riggs321]

On Oct 19 (2 weeks after I had sex with a pro) I started having a low grate fever, dull pain in groin, testacies, lower abdominal and back. I saw a MD who prescribed Cipro and Dioxy for 7 days.  She also did a DNA probe test for Chlamydia and gonorrhea – both negative.  The discomfort stoped and the MD said it was acute urethritis.  Then the discomfort came back around Nov 17 and I saw a urologist and was tested for Herpes, HIV and Syphilis.  He gave me a HSV 1 / 2 IGG, Herpeslect Type specific AB test, HIV-1 AB Screen with reflex and an RPR (DX) w/ reflex titer & confirmatory testing – all were negative (except Herpes 1).  I got Levaquin for 7 days.  He also did a prostate massage and found no growth in the urine culture. On Nov. 30 I started having an irritation on both sides of the rim of my glans penis. No bumps or blisters or ulcers are present; it’s more of a discoloration, red and irritated looking.  It really gets aggravated when I have an erection and ejaculate.  Sometimes after I ejaculate there’s a light burning sensation when I urinate.  I followed up with my original urologist and have since visited another for a second opinion - both say I don’t have an STD and the symptoms are caused from worry.  I saw a Dermatologist who prescribed aclovate for the penis irritation (didn’t help at all). I still have the irritation on my penis and lower abdominal and back discomfort.  Should I have additional testing?  Neither urologist seems concerned about the irritation on my penis but its there and is uncomfortable.  Should I have unprotected sex with my wife?  Could the irritation and discomfort really be a coincidence or is it likely I’ve got something that the doctor hasn’t been able to identify.  Do you have any suggestion?

[H. Hunter Handsfield, M.D.]

Unfortuntateley, no on-line doctor can compete with the opinions and diagnoses of doctors who have examined someone personally, especially for a somewhat complex history like yours.  From all you describe, and especially the negative test result, I agree you have no STD at present.  And I am certain you have nothing you can transmit to your wife.



Best wishes--  HHH, MD

riggs321: I'm sorry that I'm not posting to help you but to symphasize with you by telling you that the same symptoms you are experiencing is exactly what I'm currently experiencing. believe it or not I have been experiencing these symptoms for more that FIVE YEARS now. I went to dozens and dozens of doctors and made several blood tests including HIV(all negative) but I still live with those symptoms and its painful u know. funny enough these pains seem to accelarate when u think more about them, so please try and avoid stress as much as possible. talking about avoiding stress, please don't get mad at me cos I know its hard to avoid stress when you are sick. one of my doctors once told me to avoid stress and I got mad at him, coz instead of finding my problem he just told to avoid stress: HOW DO YOU AVOID STRESS WHEN YOU SICK. but then I realised that Doctors are doing a lot of work to help the nation and we must really bear with them, so this is from me telling to avoid stress, you are not alone.



if you want to talk to me more directly here is my email address:

regards and may My GOD bless you.
