herpes? yeast? prostate issue?


I recently had oral sex from my girl friend of eight months. this is our first sexual experience. i later got some marks on my penis which a doctor diagnosed as a red **** from vigorous oral sex. possible skin irritation but nothing to be alarmed about but it has been persistent. my symptoms include:

- frequent urination at night
- not fully done peeing but it stops or not full urination
- redness; small red spots but i was told it was discoloration not herpes
- flaky skin on penis head
- muscle pain
- neck pain, almost like it is swollen
- groin pain - testicles & pelvis area
- clear discharge that sticks to my boxers almost like pre *** but is very little
- pain in penis that shifts sometimes left or right?
- other

i have been given different prognosis. its been persister over a month. my girlfriend has gotten checked out & had no prior infections. says things came back negative but i am skeptical. i know she has had cold sores before. i did however notice nothing to prevent me from allowing her to perform oral sex. i would love to get closure. i have yet to see a specialist. my GP wont give me a referral and stated a little discharge of semen is normal. my girlfriend has been faithful too my knowledge. i am a little worried now. its carried on over a month. the penis burning is uncomfortable. a doctor checked my prostate and says it is enlarged which could cause penis pain around the tip. a burning sensation though normal? what does this sound like? i got some cream for a yeast infection & fucidin. any help would be appreciated. i am looking into a referral for a specialist as this has been awhile. all tests including multiple swabs, urine, and physical examinations came back negative. i never had a herpes test though. only examinations and a couple of those at that. any help is appreciated. i haven't had puss, blisters, or itching. i notice with cream on i may get the odd itch but nothing out of the ordinary. thanks.

You don't have herpes.  If it makes you feel better, ask for a herpes blood test.

You don't have it, though.  None of your symptoms are similar to herpes.

so i got a Q:
i got my specialist, a urologist middle this month less then two weeks now. i am terrified. my Q: is, if i was told by multiple doctors its not herpes based upon visual examinations including hospital, family GP, and walk in, what is the likeliness a specialist with additive knowledge can and will likely contradict what they said? i been diagnosed as prostitis but by a walkin clinic doctor and jock itch based upon the rash which is bettering. no puss or feaver blisters. the only flu like symptoms i have had is the runs which could be based upon poor dieting likely cause of my state of mind and current health. i haven't had pain in a bit and don't want to hold my breathe. i just realize how great i once had it and i want my old life back. i am twenty two years old. i want to date, i want to experience love and more. i have no intentions on having premarital or any sorta of sexual conduct again till marriage following my Christian faith. i haven't had sex but i think after having the oral sex i really guilt tripped myself likely making this experience that much worse. again, i thank Grace, Jessi, and anyone that advises me past or present. thanks.

couple nights ago i went for a walk through the park at about 12:30am. everyone in my home was sleeping. it was a clear night. i love stars and thought i would take a walk. i laid back on the bleachers listening to the ipod to clear my mind stargazing. in regards to haullucinations, before someone decides to throw a net over me and take me away, i kept seeing something or someone out the corner of my eye which would make me paranoid. i look and nothing is there. i get confussed and relax then it happens again. i realize now its a side effect of the medication. i wont drive. it only happened in the dark i will add and it wasn't severe or a regularity but i thought i would note it. i think i am getting better though and i am really excited about havign my old life back with the renewed appreciation i have for life.

i am no doctor but i think Grace or Jessi will back that your body slowing down and the prostate is likely at its largest causing the problem we have with frequent urination. i wish i new how this happened. they just told my father the same thing as me when he was in his thirties that his prostate is enlarged and that he should watch it. i am twenty two. i hate this. i just started wearing jeans again and boxers. its not a pleasant experience. i got the penis swab to check for std. it was ******* painful experience. dude, i know where your coming from. restrain from stress. i was wondering if medication can cause random sweating? i keep having sweats when not cold or hot or anything? i wonder if it is a thing due to medication or prostatitis. take Jessi's advise and look up male anatomy in reading about enlarged prostate issues. you'll understand it better. i would love to know how i got this and why this damn rash has been so long. any thoughts is appreciated.

Yeah it is hard to keep your mind off of it because when you are home and bored if can't help but think about it. I will continue to take my meds and if I don't get better, get a second opinon from a urologist. The funny thing is the symptoms really don't start affecting me until the night time. During the day or at work I seem fine for the most part

Jess, what were you talking about assistance programs? what for? no medical coverage or? i don't have pain really, slight discomfort at times. two red spots but i mean, they don't hurt to touch. using the lamasil cream and i get better. Jazzman, i believe its consistency in use of the antibiotics. i haven't had frequent urination or rectum pain in some time now which i believe is the medication.  doctors told me that the large prostate is preventing the track of urination to go which leaves us with the not so empty bladder feeling or not so strong urine stream. its not the worst thing that can happen to us both and i much prefer this then herpes. damn straight. quite happy to be getting better. i think the key to it all is keeping occupied with either family or friends and when alone watching tv or movies just to keep your mind off of it. if anyone else has suggestions its appreciated. thanks.
