Can you help me? Reoccuring urethritis

[bigarm]

Hey Doc.. I have a problem.  I live in North america originally but have  been in asia for the last 4 months.  I had unprotected sex about 2 and a half months ago.  Soon after, I started getting a clear discharge during the day.  White in the morning.  The doc said it's urethritis and gave me antibiotics.  The symptoms subsided but maybe 2 weeks later i got an infection again.. I was given antibiotics.. then came back.. urine test showed i was cleared.. every 2 weeks i seem to get reinfected.. for the last month i have not been sexually active at all.. i have a white discharge in the morning.. i am not sure how i'm getting this.. i do work in a strenuous job that is long hours.. can you provide insight?

i had a full blood test done.. everything came up negative.. the doc said he thinks i have a small amount of bacteria in my urethra.. so it's not being detected.. so i'm on antibiotics again..i'm not sure..

The doc told me that was happened is that bacteria has colonized high up my urethra.. when i drink or sleep late I promote an accute infection to occur.  So i told him i want to rid of this thing for all.. So he recommended i take antibiotics over a two month period.. I hope it works.

i did have a urine culture done.. and the doc said the culture was so small they couldn't identify what the bacteria was.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Since you have a history of unprotected sex and discharge too you should get a complete STD panel done. What you also need is a urine culture and sensitivity test done. You can give it for culture and sensitivity in a sterile bottle. This will tell you what organism is causing the infection and what antibiotic will kill it permanently.
  You need a comprehensive investigation taking all these points in consideration. Please discuss this with your doctor and get yourself investigated accordingly. Do keep me posted. Take care!
