Dear Doc- Thanks for all of your insightful answers to these hard questions. I have a dilemma that I will now explain. Let me first start off by saying that I am in the process of getting a divorce. Anyways, On the 4th of July, 2005, I met my current girlfriend; instant attraction. After meeting her, I went ahead and did the whole gamut of STD tests; HIV, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, and Chlamydia. All results came back negative. She too, back in April, tested negative for the previously mentioned diseases. Things were going fine until my soon to be ex-wife and I had unprotected vaginal sex on August 25th. Well, I conferred with my ex before hand if she had been with other guys in my absence; she said she had, but had used a condom; To tell you the truth I do not know if she performed or received oral sex from any of these encounters. Anyways, I deemed it safe and relatively low risk. The sex only lasted a few minutes, I withdrew and ejaculated, and after it was over I washed myself. I felt horrible about he whole ordeal; not only because I felt my intentions could be misleading to the ex, but because I felt I had cheated. I thought nothing if it, other than the guilt, and proceeded with my life; having unprotected vaginal and oral sex with my girlfriend. On October 3, 2005, something changed. I began to have an itch inside my penis; about a centimeter into urethra; felt like it was on the underside. It was not consistent; some days it itched a lot, others not much at all, I never had any dysuria, only the urine flow was a little restricted. About a week later, on the 10th, I noticed a small amount of clear/white discharge (not thick)from my penis; a few stains on my underpants. I was devastated. Went to my physician who performed urinalysis; everything normal. He suggested I go to a Urologist (after reading this site, I now see the errors in my ways). Took urine sample for cultures; I am awaiting the results. I guess my question is, would Chlamydia or gonorrhea wait 38 days to manifest itself. Could I have gotten this from my ex, or more probably from my girlfriend (she had a questionable encounter in may). During these 38 days my girlfriend and I have had sex numerous times. I am looking for causes other than the obvious. Could this be NGU without Chlamydia? The night of October 2nd , I was looking at my penis and squeezed a few blackheads, one right by the opening of the urethra. Also, I have been diagnosed with varicose, it has been a little sore lately, could this bacteria cause NGU? If you have any insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
