I need help. I'm 28 and began having prostatitis issues when I was about 18. The prostatitis occurred on and off over the years and I recall being pretty good for a few years around 24-27. Last year I received oral sex and about a week later had a slight discharge and burning.
Doctor did not test anything but prescribed usual meds for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea (Suprax and 10 days of doxycyclene). Before this, had taken multiple rounds of various antibiotics over the years, but the only one I'd taken in the previous months was doxycyclene (as anti-malarial while traveling abroad, for one two months). Symptoms occurred a couple of months after ceasing the doxy.
Came back after treatment and was tested... came back positive for Chlamydia. Took more doxy, restested a couple of weeks later, and it said negative.
Since then, have had recurring and seemingly very stubborn prostatitis for about ten months now, but different than the usual dull ache; it is more of a burning feeling, both in the prostate (and perineum) and in the urethra. Feels like a very mild burning from the tip of the penis up to about 1-2 inches in. It comes and goes.
Went to a doctor about eight months ago and he did a culture to prostatic fluid. Treated for 1-2 months with Bactrim. Symptoms got better, but then came back.
Finally, a month and a half ago, went to a different urologist; explained my story. He assumed I had persistent chlamydia in the prostate, but no test. Prescribed doxycyclene 3 times daily for a month, and after a month, said to stay on 1 doxycyclene per day for a month. After a month, symptoms were better, but after 2 weeks of 1/day, symptoms are returning, urethra is quite red and inflamed, testicles sore, etc.
No sex to date since the initial symptoms started.
Nobody seems to have a clue how to help me and I am now getting well into a serious relationship with the girl I am probably going to marry. Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
