5 months ago my girlfriend told me she had Chlamydia and Gonorrhea. It shocked me. After I found this out I went to the clinic and just had chlamydia. I was treated, but since my whole prception on things have change. I am more cautious when I do everything, which has been good and bad. I am more careful, but everything bothers me now. Now when I urinate I am always nervous of something being wrong, and every little cough and headache or anything out of being 100% fine bothers me. I never went back for another Chlamydia and Gonorrhea test becuase they told me at the clinic that I should be fine after being treated. I stop having sex, but recently when I masturbated and then urinated I felt a slight discomfort, not a horrible pain but I felt something. Could this be something wrong or just my mind. I still havent fully recovered from this whole thing mentally and every now and then feel depressed of what happened five moths ago. Can someone give me some advice please.

It seems likely you in fact had gonorrhea; the quality of medical knowledge about STDs is good in Thailand, most providers there should recognize it, and cefixime is appropriate (although a single dose would have worked as well as 7 days treatment).
I have 2 thoughts about your current symptoms. First, I strongly suspect infection with a fungus, of which the most common type is the yeast called Candida--i.e. candida balanitis. (Balanitis is the term for dermatitis of the head of the penis.) Your symptoms are typical and yeasts often are present under the foreskin, and broadly active antibiotics like cefixime sometimes trigger their growth, especially when taken for a week or more.
Second, 20-30% of men with gonorrhea also catch chlamydia at the same time. That's in western countries; the risk may be higher in Thailand. Gonorrhea therapy usually should include treatment for possible chlamydia, but cefixime is inactive against it. That said, your symptoms don't sound like chlamydia. I suggest getting checked out for yeast--but to be safe, also request a chlamydia test.
Good luck-- HHH, MD
