hello, about 2 months ago i had unprotected sex with a girl i met at a party...since them my life has not been the same because i have develpoed symptons that are driving me crazy.  i went and got tested for chlamydia, ghonorea and herpes, all the tests were negative but the symtpons did not subside, the symptons include: small slightly raised fleshy bumps in my urethra, they burn on occasion, discoloration on my penis head(dark and light blotches) an EXTREMELY itchy rectum, the rectal ithcing is driving me crazy. an don occasion i have a tingly sensation on my balls that seems kinda strange as well. there has been no discharge. like i said all the tests for the chlam. ghonor. and herpes were negative.  i also went to a urologist and he said he didnt"see" anything that was out of the ordinary but perscribed an antibiotic that i took for 10 days twice a day and it didnt do nything to help. id really like to know what this is its seriously ruining my life....any responce would be greatly appreciated

No, the root is the depression.  This thing you have going on now is a slight bump in the road.

Why wait to turn your life around?  What day is better than today?  

I'm glad you posted on the depression forum, and from here on, I'll let them handle things.  ;)

i just submitted a question to the depression forum addressing my issue...you sound just like my mom she always says, "if your bro rick didnt take his insulin because of his diabetes he would die"  so i see what your saying...but right now the root of many of my problems is this potential std or infection...i just need some closure on it, maybe then ill get back on medication and turn my life around...you have been a bigger help than you may realize aj and i appreciate it more than you know...im sure you get alot of gratification by easing peoples worries on here and your reward is in heaven for it...thank you again

Well, this isn't the depression forum, and I'm not a doctor, but your thought pattern is way off.  The meds will help with your true line of thinking.  If you had diabetes, would you take insulin?  If you had asthma, would you use an inhaler?  You have a medical condition that requires meds.

That this rash seems like a such a burden is your depression speaking, not your true line of thought.  

Please check out our depression forum, and get this other thing checked out.

no i ahvent checked it out, i have struggled with depression since i was a kid, ive been on an doff of anti depressants, but as of recently have refused to take them because i dont want to compromise my true train of thought, my mom has begged me otherwise but i believe a medicated state of mind may alter my true line of thinking and that worries me...im glad to here that its prob not cancer or hiv, but ive researched everything else into the ground and cannot find an answer anywhere, if it is an std it must be very atypical, o rmaybe a new strain i dontknow, but once i get rid of this ill start taking proactive steps to turn my life around, until then this is too big of a burden to start concentrating on anything else

Its not penile cancer - that's very rare.  HIV wouldn't present this way.

Have you looked into therapy?  I'm sure that was suggested when you were diagnosed with depression.  We have a good depression forum here you should check out.

i just hop eits nothing serious lke hiv or penile cancer, that has been a lesson hard learned, my life has been turned upside down due to me worrying about this, plus being diagnosed for depression doesnt help, ive lost motivation, quit workng out, have been thinking about dropping classes at my colege, and im an overall wreck...i do appreciate your responses though

i was thinking some sort of fungal infection as well, and no prostate exam was done, im going to see my family doctor possibly tommorow

[auntiejessi]

Have any of the doctor's suggested a fungal infection?  Done a prostate exam?  Those are about the only things left.

If it is a fungal exam, it might have been made worse by the antibiotic.
