chlamydia, gonorrhea or possibly something else?

Hi,

Im a guy and ive being trying to self diagnose an infection i have and im wondering if it is even an STI.
Almost immediately after having sex, a few hours after, i felt an irritation in my penis, I figured it was nothing but has now gotton the symptoms of chlamydia and gonorrhea, pain when urinating and discharge(fairly watery).

from a bit of research i keep reading that it takes a few days for symptoms to show, so i'm wondering if its just a normal infection thats not as severe? I didnt have any other contact with a woman for around 4 months previously so I think its possible ruling out a very late infection.

Also ive read this:
http://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/askquestion/11039/chlamydia-natural-cures-are-there-any-home-remedie.html

it gave lots of advice on natural ways of getting rid of chlamydia by using natural antibiotic such as garlic, and it made me fairly confident i could cure this without prescription antibiotics.

Even if i do go to the doctor, the only one i can afford is the college STI clinic which is open once a week so i have to do something myself until then!

Any replies will be appreciated as there is nobody i can talk to about this,
Thank you!

Oral sex is very low risk for gonorrhea and NGU. While those are possible, it is probably something else. But best bet is to see a Dr and give a urine sample. Make sure you don't urinate at least 1hr before the sample you give.

thanks for the reply, yes sex was protected but there was unprotected oral.

since i posted though its started to get a lot more painful so i guess i better get to the doctor as soon as i can.

Well your first line tells me a lot and we are not here to help with diagnosis. We will give advice but always tell you to see a Dr as he is the only one to diagnosis you.

Symptoms of a STD take at least 2 days to start so whatever you felt right after was not inconnection with a STD.

Was sex protected or unprotected?
