Urethral herpes? Please help.

Hi all, I'm a mid 30s male that recently came down with some symptoms.  I've had a feeling I need to pee for the last three weeks and around two weeks ago I had a descent amount of stinging at the tip of my urethra.  I've never had any sores but just inside my urethra it was a bit red and irritated for a while.  I don't have any discharge and I feel perfectly healthy other than a soreness at the tip of my penis and a very mild burning sensation after urinating and sometimes in the middle of the night.  I've tested negative for GC and chlaymidia.  I'm waiting on the blood test results for herpes, but the concern over what is wrong is driving me nuts!  Any information on if this sounds like urethral herpes will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you for taking your time to help out.

Thanks for the website. After my visit to the urologist a few months ago he believed I was dealing with CPPS and if you had the same symptoms and negative test I'm going to try my best to get hsv out of my mind. I was doing so good until a few days ago and I just have a "strange" feeling going on down there right now. (perinium area) what's weird about it is sometimes its almost like when I ejaculate it feels like it doesn't all come out. (weird) I pray to God its just some issue with my prostate. Thanks for your help.

Jts40,
Yes, I've had everything you mention above.  I hadn't experienced pre-cum since I was a teenager and I've had it a few time in the past few years.  What's more noticeable is the post ejaculation sperm that can come out hours after and the incontinence (dribbling after urination).

Check out this symptom survey and I think you'll be surprised how your symptoms fit.

I'll be here if you have any other questions.

Congrats! That's great news for you. I do have a question for you if you get the chance. Did you ever have pain while pressing on your penis on the side (underneath) where the urethra is located? Also do you still experience mild discomfort around the area of the perinium? I've noticed that since my encounter that almost anytime I get an erection that I have Precum leakage whereas in the past that would only happen rarely. Did you or have you experienced that? I'm not sure if I dealing with some prostate issues or not. I just pray to God it isn't herpes that wasn't picked up by the test or doctors. I've had colds sores in the past so I'm hoping I don't have hsv1 genitally too or hsv2 that wasn't picked up by the blood test. Again never had any blisters just dull pains. Im hoping that when they describe pain that it is from the lesions that hsv produces and not just dull pain throughout the genital area. Hope to here from you and again congrats.
