[Question #5503] Analingus Worries
22 months ago
|
Dear all, looking for some support as starting to stress big time.
11 weeks ago stupidly allowed masseuse to perform analingus on me. Maybe 3 days later I started to experience a sporadic clear watery and odorless discharge coming from my anus. No pain / itching still to this day.
I’ve had three separate blood / swab tests done (the latest after 9 weeks) which have all come back negative. Proctoscope all normal. Yet the symptoms persist.
According to the swab tests chlamidya & Gonorrhea are negative and NSU culture shows no growth.
My doctor is telling me that the symptoms are not sti related and that the timing is a coincidence and perhaps it’s time to have a colonoscopy.
Is he correct and there is nothing sti related to worry about or is he overlooking something?
I’m also experiencing some mild-medium abdominal / stomach pain, could this be related?

Dear Doctor,
Many thanks for the quick reply which is appreciated especially noting that you were working on a Sunday.
Firstly, to respond to your reply 1) yes they were rectal swabs and 2) blood tests at 9 weeks included hiv, syphillis, herpes, hep a/b/c. I’m happy with the blood work so it’s just a possible bacterial infection that’s causing the sleepless nights.
So my questions are as follows:
- I’m sure that 3 swab tests can’t be wrong. Is there anything else that could be sexually transmitted i should be asking my doctor to look for?
- If discharge were from chlamidya / Gonorrhea could it still be watery, odorless and colorless?
- Generally skin all over body has been feeling itchy and have been noticing more pimples / blood spots over the past few months. Assume that this is stress / anxiety, would you agree or could this be a symptom of something else?
I’m sure that I’m no medical anomaly and expect that some symptoms are exacerbated by stress, shame and anxiety, but appreciate your response none the less.
