Hello,
Approximately three months ago, I received very brief unprotect oral sex from a male partner. As far as I know, he is STD/HIV free. About 10 to 11 days later, I started feeling an odd irritation right inside the tip of my penis. The sensation would arise for just a few seconds and then be gone. This would happen often throughout the day. Two weeks after the initial sensation began, I was tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia. Both tests came back negative. Two weeks after being tested, I saw my general physician who did not see anything abnormal upon examination and did not see anything unusual in my urine after doing a urine analysis. He prescribed a 7-day course of cipro which did nothing followed by a 7-day course of doxycycline and a one time dose of azithromycin.
The discomfort continued on a daily basis even after all of these treatments. For my own piece of mind, I was retested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, as well as HSV 1 & 2. Everything came back negative for the second time. At two months, I went for a week long period where I did not feel the sensation at all. I figured my body had worked it out on its own. After that week, the sensation returned but less frequently. I saw my general physician again who re-examined me and ran blood work for a physical. He said that all my blood work looked healthy and normal. He referred me to a urologist who examined me, did two urine analyses, and did a prostate exam. He said that everything looked fine. Now, I may feel it two or three times a day or sometimes I go a day without feeling it at all. But so far, it always returns at some point and I am beyond frustrated. I am now three months from when I first started having the discomfort and I can't believe I'm still having this discomfort. I thought that maybe it was all in my head, but when I have these little bursts of pain, I know for sure this is not a mental thing.
The urologist prescribed a month long course of daypro which I am currently four days into. I have felt the odd discomfort several times since starting daypro. I have done everything I can think to do from changing the style of underwear I wear to using different soaps in the shower. I don't know what to do anymore.
Do you have any clue what could be wrong with me? If I have an NGU, could it be incurable? Is there anything I or my doctors haven't thought of? I have read on forums that men go years with urethritis/ngu symptoms and just have to learn to deal with the discomfort. I truly hope that is not the case here because this is driving me crazy. Any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
