hi, great forum,
I'm a 32 yr old male. I was diagnosed with NGU about 5 weeks ago after unprotected sex with A. tested negative for gonn and chlamydia, given azithromycin 1g and a shot of ceftraxione. i had bad testicle pain at this point, in addition to some cloudy discharge, painful urination, etc...
the symptoms subsided after a few days, and a week later i resumed unprotected sex with B, my wife, the recommendation of my doc.
a few days later, my symptoms came back.
i'm about to complete a 10 day doxy treatment and i took 2g of flagyl 2 days ago. there is still discharge in the morning and a frequent need to pee. most alarmingly, the pain in the back of testicles has come back, and it's bad. my wife took flagyl too because trich is the only thing she could have been exposed to, according to doc.
so, if i'm free of infection as my doc told me i was, what do i have? the infections which cause epididymitis i had covered by antibiotics, so why the pain, why now? ive had some clear rectal discharge, is this related?
is my wife still at risk of anything? does my epididymitis suggest an infection remains? should the flagyl treat it (i took it only 2 days ago?) could i have a resistant strain of chlamydia or trich? I did acquire my infection from A who is from Hong Kong.
much thanks
