Reply To: urethritis and herpes igg test

[1help]

Ive been with 1 woman prior to this experience where we were both monogamous for 8 years. We were probably together about 3 weeks prior. My pcp did a prostate exam and said everything seemmed fine, but put me on flomax during this whole ordeal. The flomax helped quite a bit but the side effects were very strong, so i stopped after about a week, the urge of urination came back. Ive had some people tell me this could be prostatitis, or chronic pelvic pain syndrome. The woman prior to this experience did not put me at any risk. I guess thats why i feel so horrible after this encounter. Could antibodies from the flu and pneumonia cause an igg test to become equivocal, or raise? In your personal opinion, should i just et this go until i see more obvious signs of infection? Or do you think i should retest? My pcp told me not to take this test, and the doctor at the clinic also said that itsnot recommended i take it but said i could if i wanted too. Thanks for your help.
