Swollen meatus, extreme pain sitting
I'm an otherwise healthy white male. I received unprotected oral sex from another man in April of 2014.
I started feeling irritation in the meatus and severe burning pain in the thighs when sitting. At the STD clinic my urine was tested, all results negative but gave me the standard 2 pills and a shot to clear anything that may be there. No relief was had from irritation sensation in penis and pain sitting, went to a urologist who tested my prostate, negative. Tried anti-fungals with no relief. Went through a round of Cipro (2 weeks) and a round of Doxycycline (28 days), again with no relief. Herpes test at 3 months, negative for both HSV1 and HSV2. No visible sores or other symptoms to make me believe it's herpes.
The pain subsided for roughly 3 months out of nowhere. In October of 2015 it returned, worse than ever.
Main symtoms:
Extreme pain/burning when sitting. When I get up and look in the mirror, below the glut folds are extremely red. Area around anus is also red, sometimes extends up towards the lower back in crack.
Swollen/irritated meatus. Worse after masturbation. Clothing now irritates it, have been using diaper rash cream but does not help.
Trickling when peeing
Pain in lower abdomen, switching between left and right sides, left side seems affected most
Occasional lower back pain
Pesky armpit rashes that seem to go away and then come back
Swollen uvula
As I mentioned, tests early on came back negative, and the medications I've been on since should have wiped out the curable STDs. My question, can I rule out STDs completely? Any ideas on what this problem could be?
