Gonorrhea and Prostatitis

Hi all,

Few years ago, i was diagnosed with gonorrhea and I was left untreated for 1.5 months.

Later, my symptom of gonorrhea has gone. However, symptoms of prostatitis developed and lasted till now (its almost
3 years). I have taken so many antibiotics for a year. But finally they seemed useless to my pain of prostatitis (so i quit it). Now the symptoms are mild. But it really bothers me. I have thought to suicide, because I think i am still contagious of STD. I am afraid gonorrhea is hiding in my prostate, causing prostatitis.

I have done so many tests (PCR of semen, prostate fluid). They came back neg. However, I wonder if these tests are false neg (because the false neg reports made me left untreat my problem of gonorrhea. I am afraid i would pass STD to my gf...I am afraid i could not father a child..these problems annoy me so much..Sometimes i would think its better to die rather than suffer..can someone professional or experienced help me?

Thank you for your reply!

I am 25 yo. I am just concerning would it be hiding in prostate and not killed by antibiotics (as antibiotics could not go into the think layer of tissue of prostate and that prostate has a complex structure)

Hi, Gono left untreated would be cured by the bodies natural immune system over a short period of time anyway so dont be concerned you still have it all these years. And all this tests confirm its gone as well and these tests are very accurate. The main symptom of Gono is a white puss discharge coming of out your penis so without out that would indicate its gone. What age are you?
