going on for 6 weeks now.....
Hello Doctor,
You may remember my post about 2 weeks ago, Since july 29 I have had burning on the tip of my penis as well as pain in my left groin tender and pain in the left tube connected to the testicle also i have a feeling of bladder fullness const. I have been to over 7 docs mutliple trips to the er, 3 uroligists, I have been tested for clam/ghonn swabbed three times in the first 2 1/2 weeks, all neg but still treated for both at first intial er visit. I have had 2 ultrasounds done on testilces one first week due to major pain and again arond last week when i could not sleep after ejaculating caused severe burning in urethra and pain moved to right groin and testicle. both ultrasounds came back normal, Ive had a ct done normal, mri done normal except a slight herniated disc. I have been on oflaxacin for 4 days, levaquin for 14 days, I even was treated with fagyl for trich as well as zithro at 1st er visit. last post you said i might have herpes, a doc diag me with it about three weeks ago never had a lesion and took the valtrex for 10 days symps did not let up. Two days ago i went back to the er since the pain in the left pelvis is still tender and the left tube/testi as well as the constant stinging at the tip of the urethra and pain in the penis. Doctor said he has never seen this much work done up on someone and said clam/ghonn ruled out by 3 neg swabs treated for all of those std's even though never showed evidence of them being present that i had to have non specific urethritis, he put me on doxycycline for 10 days twice day.
so here are my questions please bare with me:
1. Is it at all possible that herpes could be causing this after six weeks, as per previous post my symptoms started like next day, i wore a condom brief vag sex 2-3 min tops with "pro"
2. i had a hiv and syphilis test done 30 days since the "episode". How reliable is each of those tests for reliable neg results. they both came back neg. also i heard that being on antibiotics can cause false neg results on rpr tests for syphilis.
3. How long can nsu last, Ive had like 10 urinalysis's done and most of the time the show small trace of blood in my urine (RB0-5), ive had the urine tested in the lab multiple times no bacteria found, how could i have nsu and no bacteria found.
4. I have not had sex with my wife since our wedding night, if i have nsu did she get it or something associated with it from our unprotected sex. She has had no symptoms of anything.
5. how soon can you have reliable test results for hept b/c, syphili
6. Is it possible that because i recieved all of this treatment could that be causing the pain in the urethra and stinging as well as the pain in the groin still persisting.
7. I spoke to my doctor and she is going to refer me to the male cinic, whats your thoughts on the male clinic.
8. All of my testing had been through quest diagnostics do you no what gen test they use for hiv, my paper has hiv-1 ab scrn w/reflex

hi dude i had exactly what you have ,caught almost identically weird hey
took 6 months of torture to figure out the cure , the pain is so bad you think how people would comitt suicide because of it.
the cause is nsu , but the bug is just one they find growing on your skin around your anus , so they said
when you took droxycline does the pain go away if yes proceed
I went over seas for 5 weeks and guess what they give you for malaria ,droxycyline i think take 2 weeks before you go ,i was away for 5 weeks and took i think for 2 weeks when i got back and guess what ,nsu was gone.
i went on the 10 day coarse of droxycycline something like 3 times and it came back every time ,even more painfull each time , somehow the bug gets around the 10 day coarse .
this is the first time ive every told anyone, if it works track me down and donate some money for all the years of pain ive saved you.
i went through all the bullshit with doctors as well as you have . Maybe theyll make me a Doctor for acidentally stumbling across this , good luck . i wish some one would have told me this , the pain is unbearable ,and the doctors think your a hypercondriact.Like i said track me down , cheers

Once I had urethritis which was caused by no particular STD, but rather, by washing my penis with harsh soap. It caused a lot of the stinging during urination and general irritation you're describing. In my case, this was only partly psychological and partly real. It was psychological because I was scrubbing my genitals due to excessive guilt; it was real because the tip of my penis was sore and swollen and moving around hurt. Check out that possibility, I think (I may be wrong) that if you have no discharge but you have urethral pain, it's likely to be from some kind of irritation but not an STD.

i told my wife two days after our marriage this all happened at my bachelor party. she has forgiven me but im afraid that i might have caught something that will damage our lives together. I pray every day that i will be alright and we will get through this together.
i do not disagree with your comment on feeling guilty and having anxiety but the tip of my penis constantly stings and and the pain in the testicle and pelvis is there the reason i know that it is not being "made up" is because i awake in the middle of the night if i turn over and bump it and if i lay on my stomach my penis stings even more and causes me to wake up.
I had pretty much the same thing. Trust me. Once you resolve the guilt your symptoms will go away. You are so focused on it and constantly have it on you mind you are thinking of little else. Alone with your thoughts in the middle of the night with your wife laying next to you is PRIME TIME for your symptoms to go through the roof. You can either move on by yourself, get counceling, or tell your wife. The choice is yours (I recommend option 1). But you will have to choose one of those paths.
This is fairly evident. You do not have or ever did have an STD, herpes or anything. First off, you were protected with a condom, correct? Second yoy have had negative tests, correct? Third you were treated for every STD known to man despite not one, but several negative tests, correct? What you do have is extreme guilt and anxiety caused by cheating on your wife. You are focusing on STDs because it releases you from dealing with the real problem. You need to forgive yourself and move on.
You need to move on. Modern medicine has done everything they can for you. They only option left is to get counceling and get past the guilt. It is not a realistic worry that you have an STD.
Although pain like this can be heightened by anxiousness or nervousness it sounds strange to me that it could be that instense without a problem. Having said that, after I myself went through a VERY similar episode to this i experienced lasting "pain" which was all in my mind. (i think) as the guilt faded and the tests were still coming back neg, the pain faded. DO NOT underestimate the power of the brain to make pain where there is none. I never used to believe in that **** till it happened to me.
Long of the short, you might have had something at some point but the medication you will have taken would have nuked it. You are almost certain to have 0 stds.

The nagative test says he never had an STD. This has to be 100% guilt. I have had it in my past. One time my balls hurt so bad I couln't stand it. Once I resolved th guilt, it went away. I frustrated mnay doctors with that one.

An online source like me can only provide general information about probabilities. I will make no effort to diagnose what is going on. However, on scanning all the replies that follow mine (although they preceded mine), they pretty well got it right: Whatever is going on, it isn't an STD.
1) I doubt it is herpes.
2) Your test results undoubtedely are reliable
3) You don't have NSU (NGU).
4) You have nothing sexually transmitted, ie nothing that has any chance whatsoever of harming your wife. There is no reason not to have unprotected sex with her.
5) Syphilis blood test is reliable now; but you absolutely cannot have syphilis--even if you did, the antibiotics you have had would have resolved it. HSV blood tests are reliable 3 or more months after exposure. Your symptoms don't sound like herpes.
6) I cannot say what is causing your pain, only that it isn't an STD or any other infection.
7) I don't know what a "male clinic" is. What you may need most is a mental health counselor.
8) HIV would never have entered my mind for your symptoms. Quest is a highly respected lab; I assume they use the most up-to-date tests and perform them expertly.
I'm sorry, but I just can't help further and won't have any more replies. You'll need to follow up with your own doctor(s).
Good luck-- HHH, MD
