What is wrong with me!!!!!?
I have a discharge, occasional painful urination, and penile urethra itching. the discharge has been persistent for over 2 months now (the other symptoms comes and goes). upon noticing the discharge I immediately stop sexual intercourse and went to get tested for HIV,syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, trichomonas, etc. As a precaution i was prescribed doxycycline pending the results. the tests all came back negative. the discharge was still there so i return to get tested a second time. this time i was given another dose of doxycyline as well as zithtromax pending the 2nd results. yet again the test all came back negative and still the symptoms persisted. instead of going back to the clinic i went to my PCP who tested me again (even collecting a sample of the discharge for the lab work). he prescibed nitroimidazoles and after the symptoms did not stop i got a referral to an urologist. i explained the symptoms and the meds that i was given. he examined me, noted that i have lymph nodes in my groin region (which he explained is common with infection) but he was still puzzled and couldn't diagnose my problem. the urologist prescribe a Z-pack as a last resort. i still have these symptoms and i havent had a sex since the 1st time i noticed symptoms and even refrained from masturbation! what is wrong with me and how can i find someone who can diagnose me? at this point; even if i get cured i still need to know what this is. I would appreciate a response as soon as possible. Thank You
That's a good sign that he's wants to help and is willing to admit he's puzzled. Many specialist have an ego and you're lucky he didn't tell you it's all in your head.
Like I said, use that drug with caution. Look up the side effects on google. I will tell you I'm dealing with tendon and joint pain, and weakness in my muscles still. When I would take it I was totally out of it for about 3 hours and had blurred vision. I would recommend only as a last resort. I would see the ID specialist first.

honestly, and i could be wrong, but my urologist seems like he is really trying to help me and he is just puzzled and he already told me that he wasn't scared to admit that he doesn't know what this could be. but now that you say you did receive in the US than im gonna see if i can get a prescription. how bad are the symptoms though?
Your urologist is not knowlegable about medication or he doesn't want to give it to you. I live in the US and have taken Moxiflox. The other name for it is Avelox.
thanks for responding. and yes, they have taken samples of my urine and blood four times and the discharge twice and still the tests come back negative. i actually had my follow up visit with my urologist yesterday and I inquired about moxifloxacin and he said that he it is not available in the untied states. my urologist was still unaware of what to do for me so he referred me to the infectious disease department because, as he said, they can do more extensive lab testing. i am beyond frustrated @ this point and i wonder how many men has had a similar problem.
It would be helpful to know how this all started? Unprotected vaginal or oral sex?
Have they tried culturing the discharge or urine? There are a couple other antibiotics that can be prescribed if NGU is persistent, Erythromycine or Moxifloxacin. However, I would only use Moxifloxacin as a last resort, as it can have some very harsh and lasting side effects. In addition, if it's fungal related (Trich) they can also treat you with an alternative regimen of metronizadole.
Return to your doctor and discuss persistent NGU with him and CDC guidelines for testing and treating:

Hi
Your urologist can answer your question. Talk to him about non-chlamydia NGU.
