STD or ME?????

3 months ago I had unprotected sex in a one night stand..i am married and am stressed over the mistake I made.. Scared of losing my family and passing something on to my wife...i have had frequent urination from time to time, occasional burning when I urinate but not anything that I believe would be out of the ordinary. My biggest symptom right now and over recent weeks is I feel something constantly at the tip of my penis.. Hard to describe but it is not painful just uncomfortable and just feel like something is there or coming out.. I have not had any discharge but sometimes this feeling at the tip feels like I have discharge but when I check, nothing..again no discharge or burning when I urinate but I still feel this at the tip.some type of discomfort... I have been tested numerous times for ghonnorrea, chlamydia, Syphllis and HIV..at 8 and 9 weeks I again tested for these std's along with Hep C and HSV 2..I have also tested for "Trich". I have tested many times and all negative. My primary care physician tested urine and said it was normal.. He says I am fine and basically said I am making up my symptoms. I went home and still felt somethig so I did another round of tests of the same and all negative..I went back to the doctor and he again says I'm fine and to stop testing..he sent me to a urologist to give me some re-assurance.. I've been to urologist now 3 times and my urologist also says I'm fine and does not recommend any further testing..I still feel this feeling at tip of penis... And yes I also took my doctors advise and am currently in therapy..Is this really me producing these symptoms or do I have something that hasn't been checked for like NGU or anything else.. Please help. I am trying to get my life together but this has been a struggle..

OH yeah, one last thing...

I've been told by 2 doctors as a patient myself that tingling/itching or mild burning at the tip of the penis can be a normal feeling and is caused by normal irritation of everyday life.

Hi Nikko

Hang in there, the symptoms you are feeling are somewhat real.  By that I mean they are really there, but because of the guilt you are paying close attention to them, and making them bigger than they are.  

Congratulations on testing negative on all STDs.   Let's keep it that way.

Thanks for the replies. Sounds like my doctors know what they are talking about.. Just not sure why I can't accept it..this whole situation has changed me..I finally see clearly what I want after all this time...I hate that it came to this for me to have a clear understanding of what is important..

The mind is a powerful thing. You probably worried yourself so much that you now have pain. Therapy is a good idea since it will help you deal with many issues and I recommend you stop with all your std testing and doctor's visits!!

Drink plenty of fluids and keep yourself busy. There is nothing wrong with you that all these visits and testing wouldn't have picked up on. Forgive yourself for being human and move forward so that your relationship can recover and thrive :)
