Burning, itching in penis

My boyfriend just told me of his symptoms , he has burning and itching INSIDE of his penis. He's had chlamydia in the past.. before i met him . But it was treated. Is it possible for it to come back ? He thinks it's from me , but i really don't think so.. i know i'm not giving alot of background.. but i just need to know what the other possibilities are for a burning, itching penis. We're both very worried. Please help.

first you're right you just need to get tested to find out if you have it as well as your partner.

It is hard to say if your miscarriage was related... we couldn't tell you that. there is a possibility

We know you have a lot of worries and questions but before you ask these questions you need to know if you have it... we can give you all the what if's and the maybes but thats not gonna be good enough and it will only fuel your fire.

testing doesn't take long and for urine swabs usually only take 3-5 days... 5 being if their busy. you can run to a clinic and be done in an hour and have your results in a few days.

2 of my 4 partners were always protected. I have a friend , that.. in "nice" terms.. has found her way around my community. She had chlamydia about a year ago , then just recently found out she had it again.. she is infertile now because of it (or so she says) it's hard to get the truth out of anyone anymore.. anyways , she had sex with the person i had sex with.. without my knowledge. It's a long , confusing situation.. but basically , my entire community has slept with eachother. It's sickening. I just need to make sure i don't have it , & my boyfriend doesn't have it. Our relationship rests on whether he does or not. What are the obvious signs of chlamydia ? Also , i had a miscarriage in February. I was still in my first trimester , but the doctor said i have multiple ovarian cysts.. & i also have extremely irregular periods.. i don't know if that's relevent in anyway but i just need help ! I'm not stupid about my sexual partners, and i'm in no way easy.. i trusted him & i don't think this is fair.. Sorry for rambling , but i'm extremely nervous.. HELP ?!?

Irritation, UTI and several other things. He needs to see a Dr. And if you and him have had other partners and never tested...then yes a full STD panel is smart.

I've only had 4 partners.. i don't think a full STD panel is necessary. We were together a year, and just recently started dating again. I only had one partner during the time we weren't together. He's had several , but he says he used a condom. It's really hard for me to believe i gave him chlamydia considering i'm not that experienced.. and he's freaking out on me , because everything's always my fault.. is there anything else that could cause burning & itching ?

... Chlamydia doesn't "just come back" you must be re-infected to have it again.

Were you both tested before you started having unprotected sex?... and I'm assuming you've had unprotected sex since you say he thinks he go it from you.

If you weren't tested prior to having unprotected sex and if you've both had previous sex partners (unprotected) then either of you could have had it prior to your relations with one another...

Your best bet is for you both to get tested now and if  you do have it get treated.

this could also be other things it doesn't have to be chlamydia because he had it before.

And while you're there it wont hurt to get a FULL STD PANEL

It can only come back if he was re-infected. He should see a Dr for symptoms and possible testing.
