HERPES BACTERIAL INFECTION OR WHAT?
Monogamous with my boyfriend for 10 years both have tested negative igg in the past for hsv2.
A little over a month ago I had protected sex with someone else. During this time the condom came off and unbeknownst to me I found it 3 days later. Ugh. 3 days after that I felt a burning down there and noticed that I had a milky white discharge coming from urethra not vagina. The burning continues. Very red and angry looking down below. Labia feels like it is very dry. He tested for hsv2 and was equivocal at .97. He said he hasnt been with anyone in over 15 years and I am not sure I believe him. I tested negative for hsv2. This was 23 days post exposure. I dont really see what I would call sores. Just red red areas. I also have what appears to be a fissure at anus. (this could be from the frequent trips to bathroom from the stress) These areas are still there 4 weeks after appearing. Today i noticed a small bump on labia. Not painful at all and the same color as the surrounding tissue. Doesnt appear to be fluid filled. I called a friend who is an out of state doctor and he treated my boyfriend and I for gonorrhea and chlamydia and trichomoniasis becuase we couldnt get to him for testing. after treatment my discharge from urethra subsided and boyfriends testicle started to swell. His testicular swelling went down in a few days. I have appointment with gyn in 2 days. What should I think about this. I am not sleeping over the anxiety. Does it sound bacterial, viral or both?

So bottom line is that your having urethra discomfort? Like what? You were tested and treated so you can now rule out std,s. Since the white discharge came from your urethra it was injured as well as you mentioned you had a scope inserted which could cause more irritation. Just dont touch the area for a while as im sure your still pulling it looking for white discharge as it can be shocking to see this for the first time. Just lay low and see how you feel in the coming weeks as the urethra is a very small and sensitive tube which has toxic urnine coming through it and may be hindering the healing in a timely manner.
If urethra was somehow damaged how long before it heals? Remember, a week after this experience i had white discharge from urethra. Then took doxy for a week, cefixime, and tinidazole and the discharge cleared but still having discomfort. Its not in my mind.
ok so at 6 weeks post was tested for hsv2, hep b, hep c, chlamydia and gonorrhea, and HIV. All negative. Still having discomfort in urethra. Kinda aches and some discomfort during urination but doesnt feel like uti. No discharge. Had urine checked at gyno, no uti. Also had microscopic evaluation of it also negative. Also feel lower back pain and some abdominal pain around left side. Had a cbc done at same time and it revealed elevated wbc at 12.9. Also my glucose was raised which never happens. Any ideas? Still not sleeping with worry. Gyn said she feels it is just anxiety from what happened. This is real discomfort, not anxiety! Since I wasnt evaluated before treatment of gon and chlamd could this just be residual pain from that if I did indeed have it but was cured before testing? Have not had sex since treatment. I cant help but think that maybe the extremely rough fingering back in September may have injured my urethra or bladder? Is this possible? Please dissect this question as thoroughly as you can! I need help and I am not getting it from my doctor. She thinks Im crazy.
yes not big time pain, just alot of discomfort. Not much pain at all urinating and never was. No plans of seeing "the other man" again. Biggest mistake of my life to date. Will flup with what doc says. No the white was def from urethra
a herpes sore in your urethra the pain would be big time so pretty much rule this out. But a urethra discharge could be a UTI or NGU but definately a bacterial infection. If the white was coming from your vaginal area it might be yeast or BV. Since you were not tested youll never know what it was unless it comes back so keep an eye out.
Also the burning didnt really exist as much with urination as it did holding it. Nothing at all feels right down there.
yes initially 4 weeks ago I had a white urethral discharge. I took meds prescribed by the out of state doc. Antibotic appeared to clear up the discharge. See above post. My apptmt is in two days. He still maintains that he has never been with anyone in over 15 years prior to me. I still have the burning in the vagina and overly red labia and painless lump on it as well. Could this be all bacterial related because of the condom sitting in there? Or yeast? Or some other STD. Im at a loss and I get more panicked as the time goes on. :(
Hi, im confused. You had a white urethra discharge which is a symptom of a bacterial infection but it cleared up on its own or you still have it 4 weeks later?
Also without any burning while urinating it is strange as white means infection and infection means there is an interaction with your urethra tissue and the bacteria.
Herpes sores would not continue to be there for 4weeks. The life cycle from appearing to healing is about 2 weeks.
Do follow up with your doctor but get tested before treatment to see what this is so you can tell your friend.
