Hi Terri. I seen the urologist today and he examined the area and said this was not an std. I told him i was very concerned and asked again “are you sure this isnt anything i should worry about” he said no this is not any std. I told him i got a blood test this morning. He said “well that’s good but i wouldnt worry about this at all.” so now im a little torn. Like i said this area hasn’t irriated me at all, and if i wasnt always looking down there i would have never noticed it. So i guess i have to wait for the blood test to come back. He just said its probably irritation from sex. I do NOT want to give this to anyone if it is something. I have tested for so many different stds and i feel ive been very careful. At 10 weeks 3 days, and my test being .20. For hsv2 and .25 hsv1, can i be confident? Again this picture is zomd in pretty good. I am scared though.

Hi terri last question everything has been much better i am going to a urologist tomorrow for a checkup. Today after having sex, about 2 hours later a noticed a small red spot that looked like a blackhead in the middle. I didnt mess with it but it alarmed me very much. About 3 hours later i looked at it and the black tiny spot was gone. It doesnt itch, hurt, or burn but i am very alarmed. Heres 2 pictures.
Its not the brown birthmark but the red spot below it.
The second picture is zoomed in times 2.
Should i be worried. I was thinking maybe from sex. Does this look like anything i should worry about?

Thanks again for your help if i have any other questions i will be sure to pay before asking

I mean the act of masterbation or sex irritates it i think. Not the act of ejaculation. Every since this problem. I dont remember a time that the act of sex or masterbation didnt cause some irritation

[1help]

Sorry my first 4 orginal post should have been 2 posts. I felt i keft out important info so they ended up being 4 posts total. As of today i did the same thing, posted once, then felt i left something important out so posted again right after just to add to the previous post

Also i dont this the irritation comes from ejaculation itself, but from me messing w my urethra in the process

[1help]

Well in the beginning i had constant and frequent urination with urethral discomfort. So constant i went to the ER. At one point i probably went 20 times in one day. I also did have a clear discharge a few times, probably about 10 times since this began. So you don’t think i should run more tests for various stds? I have done a lot of research on prostatitis, and feel its a possibility. Or maybe an injury. I dont mean to waste your time i just want this to goa away

HI Terri I believe I paid correctly through pay pal. I am still having issues and the doctors still cant tell me what or why this is happening to me. Lately my issues have been after masturbation or sex. Now I am back with my original partner. I was told by my first urologist and a nurse practitioner at my current partners OB GYN that it was ok to resume sexual intercourse. Now normally the only time I have symptoms if after masturbation, or sex. I haven’t been technically diagnosed with urethritis but these are classic symptoms. Now my symptoms are only after ejaculation, slight urethra irritation located towards top of urethra, post void dribbling. Feels like an itch, tickle, or sting. No pain. Just an annoyance. It usually takes about 2 or 3 days for irritation to go away . I know you said I didn’t need further testing for herpes but my mind would not settle and I took a test 2 weeks after my first test. that was at 10 weeks and 3 days post exposure. I realize that still may not be enough time. My results were IGG hsv1 .25 neg, IGG hsv2 .20 neg(quest diagnostics). IGM results were also neg. I had my current partner go to our PCP and get a basic urine culture done it also came back neg. I also was on doxy for 28 days. seemed to work but I stayed away from sex and masturbation during that time. so I don’t know if it was the drugs, or that I just stopped messing w my penis.
I also stated awhile back that I got diagnosed with epididymitis back in October that was not std related.
My question is, could this urethritis irritation be related to the epididymitis at all?
Should I feel confident about my igg test results and leave that alone?
I also was going to go to my local health department and get GON and cyh test again, since of been off antibiotics for 2 weeks.
I was told by HowardH on medhelp that it could possibly be Chronic Pelvic Pain syndrome. Which I can see that some things are similar but my symptoms seem like classic urethritis.
I also called this woman that I encountered on Jan 17 and asked her if I had anything to worry about. She said she was std free and that we did not have sex anyhow.
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? I understand that this is hard and I need to follow up with my urologist but he is out of ideas. I just want to crawl into a hole when I feel like this.
is there anything that I should culture again or get swabbed for?
My urologist says next step is a cystoscopy, he says he’d rather not perform it because it probably wont show anything.
Thanks again for your help!!

Thanks for your advice, ive turned to online help becuase the docotors ive seen do not understand whats going on and i havent gotten a concrete answer.ive spent so much money on this lately i just wanted to seek professional advice from someone on this subject before i went and got retested or went and seen another doctor. I understand these may not be typical symptoms of hsv2, but since i was tested for everything else and all were neg, i figurd id get the herpes test for closure and it ended up confusing me more. Being i was expecting a negative outcome and turned out equivocal. Im going to try to put this behind me and move on with my life. I really do appreciate your advice and quick responses. If you have any other responses or advice on this subject id like to read it, thanks again.

Also i mean i was with 1 woman for 8 yrs prior, before that 8 yrs, I’ve been with about 6 other woman in my lifetime

[1help]

By “people have told me” i mean people online, the urologist thinks im fine, and i asked my pcp about prostatitis and he didnt seem like that was possible

[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.

i guess its possible my genitals could have touched hers by simply undressing and generally fooling around, but i don’t remember that precisely (i really don’t believe so), i can assure you that there was no intercourse what so ever or no oral sex.
