[Question #3757] NGU Closure
85 months ago
|
Docs, I ask for compassion and forgiveness for posting one
more question. I assure you, it will be my last. But my circumstances are
causing great prospective harm to my family and I've turned to local providers
with no avail. Please accept this last inquiry without judgement or
disappointment.
I received brief oral sex from a massage provider, no completion, as well as
analingus. I have tested negative for all other STD's at the proper testing
periods. I have visited my GP who only provided a dipstick test, which was
negative. He was not knowledgeable. I visited a urologist, same result. I asked
for a swab and he said there was no fluid to swab. What I wanted was a WBC urethra
swab for closure and I didn't get it. I am now lost, seeking closure and can't
find it with local professionals.
Symptoms: It's been over 2 months since exposure and no dysuria. I have not
seen discharge, although I can't tell if stains in underwear urine dribble or
discharge. I have experienced, what feels like, urethra pain, sometimes
stinging-like, sometimes aching. I have also felt pain and irritation in my
perineum, but not always together. I have experienced penis tip irritation and
redness. It is not constant, but there a majority of the time, even after my
celebratory negative tests for everything else when I hoped to put it in the
past.
1) Could the irritation symptoms noted above, which started
about 2.5 weeks, be indicative of infection, although it doesn't burn when
urinating?
2) I found an old 2009 Medhelp thread with Dr hook where a
fellow started experienced NGU symptoms after 3 months. Is that possible? I'm
afraid this risk of time is what is haunting me, as we are about to purchase a
house and this would destroy everything if so.
3) If it was NGU from oral, and I had to treat, does my
partner need treatment as well? Again, devastating to my family and child.
4) Is there an opportunity for a blog-like response to close
this for me and others? I’m seeking psychotherapy too.

I do not recall that response from 9 years ago, nor the circumstances. Rather I would point to your current test results, the assessments you have received from both Dr. Handsfield and I and the assessments from your own doctors who found no evidence of infection. Put another way, no trained professionals agree that there is a reason for you to be continuing to worry.
3) If it was NGU from oral, and I had to treat, does my partner need treatment as well? Again, devastating to my family and child.
No, even if you had NGU (again, there is no evidence you do), there is no need for treatment of your partner. None!!!
4) Is there an opportunity for a blog-like response to close this for me and others? I’m seeking psychotherapy too.
You've had multiple responses. It is now time for you to believe them

Thank you both for your patience and professionalism. I am sorry to have been overly dramatic.
