Ok, So basically here is the deal. I am 25 and recently got with a new partner so decided that I would have a full set of tests done to make sure i wasn't infected with anything. When I went for the tests I had a ureteralReflux nephropathy Vesicoureteral reflux swab which showed I had traces of inflammation and I was therefore diagnosed with a non specific urethritisChlamydial urethritis - male Urethritis, all other tests came back all clean.
When my symptoms were gone and my girlfriend and I were having unprotected sex she seemed to constantly get UTIs. This was never a problem so i feel this is related and in the lest few weeks when she experienced symptoms I started to see the redness around my penis once again. I left it again cos i don't have insurance but ended up getting the aching in my left testicle again.
My doctor (who i paid loads of money) gave me some more cipro which seems to have cleared up the aching but i still have the redness and discomfort when passing urine.
Does anyone know if I should be taking a different antibiotic or experienced this before?
I'm sure it is all related to the swab but I don't know how to get rid of this for good!
