std or fungi

[jmarcu91]

Hello Im sorry to posteriormente here but the other Std forums arent available. So in May 3 months ago i had vaginal sex with a prositute and condom broke. A month after that i had pain and discomfort in the bladder and after a few days constant urination that Would never end and a big discomfort in bladder. After 5 weeks i went to a urologist and did all the Std tests. They came back negative. I still had discomfort in bladder and constant urination, also i started feeling a burning sensation on my penis and below scrotum. So i went with another urologist Who didnt care muchas, Quick la exsmined me and said everything was fine but he told me to do a urine test as It could be a urine infection. It came back negative and he said It could not be an Std because i Would atleast show high White blood cells in the test if i was infected with an Std or something ( not sure at all about that) I developed after 2 and a half months some blister just below the penis head on the right side and on the left side some pimple looking bumps. My penis now looks fairly darker. The pimple dissapeared after 2 days and the blister after almost a week but left a Little scar that healed alone. Now on the base of the penis i have a weid pimple rashes and when i Pass my finger ontop of the penis it turns like gray. After 3 months Im still having mild burning Sensation on penis and below scrotum. And i noticed that the área where the penis stars has gotten more Red. I told my girlfriend everything but before i did i noticed She also had constant urination. She has gone to the bathroom for 5-6 times in 15 to 20 minutes. I plan to go again to a urologist. But last time i went he said i just had anxiety attack and that everything was normal. My gf of Course left me but i want to atleast know i didnt transmit anything to her. What could this be. Std or fungi? Thanks

Would you list the STD tests that were done? or did you have these tests:

Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) PCR or molecular test
Gonorrhea (GC) PCR or molecular test
Syphilis serology
HIV
Hepatitis B and C serology
Mycoplasma genatalium
Ureaplasma

Urine culture

How soon after the exposure were you tested? Does it hurt when you urinate? Is there any discharge?
thanks,

Thank you for your response. I did hiv, complete urine culture, hsv 2 IGG (herpes) and IGM negative, HBSAG antigeno hepatitis b and also antibody both negative. VDRL RPR cardiolipine and says "non reactive" this were all done after 5 weeks. After 6 weeks i did antigeno chlamydia trachomatis and was negative, and also another test Wich said anti cardiolipine IGM and IGG and also negative. Sorry for the Word antigeno, I dont know it in english but it means like when They search for the virus cell that created the infection and not the antibody. But some antibody where also done. Thank you alot for your help

[jmarcu91]

I forgot to mention. It doesnt Hurt when i urinate, and i noticed i have been discharging (sometimes) a transparent liquid that is sticky right after i urinate. I used to have It sometimes but not as frequent as now, and 2 times i noticed my underwear where like stained with this. Once when i woke up and another time when i went to pee at work. I am not sure if i have had it more times in my underwear since i usually dont inspect them. But those 2 times it was very visible

[mkh9]

Did you have a test for Gonorrhea too? That would cause a discharge.

[jmarcu91]

I dont know the name of the ghonorrea test. The ones that where done to me where the ones mentioned above. Maybe it is there but since They appear in the results with weid names, so Im not sure. Thank you!

[mkh9]

Ok, make sure you were tested for both Chlamydia trachomatis , which you have on your list AND Neisseria gonorrhea. If not you need to be tested. Also, if gonorrhea is positive and you get treated you may want to retest if you have any more sympoms in a week after you finish antibiotics because it is getting very resistant. Let me know how it goes.
mkh9

[jmarcu91]

Thank you very much i will get retested for everything again tomorrow. But if it wasnt ghonorrea what could it be?

[mkh9]

It could be non-gonococcal urethritis. These are caused by the bacteria Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma genitalium and the parasite Trichomonas. Trich would be more common. But all three can cause this. Various labs have molecular tests for this. I would try to get the PCR or NAAT (nucleic acid amplification test or molecular test). For these organisms. That would be the next step. They are all very treatable.

P.s. usually an infection is milky not clear. So, you may not have an infection. But you can try and get tested for these. If they are negative. It may not be an STD or STI.

I cant Thank you enough for your help. So i went to the urologist yesterday and he left me a list of tests that i need to do. And i did them today, I will do my best to list them and succesfully translate them to english.
1) complete blood test
2) complete urine test
- in the kedney area
1) uric acid
2) nitrogen of urea
3) creatinine
- páncreas area
1) glucose
- infectious deseases
1) fta-abs
2) hiv
3) toxoplasma igg
4) toxoplasma igm
5) cardiolipine antibody
-microbiology
1) f/c urine

Also:
Semen culture, herpes tipo 2 igg and herpes tipe 2 igm.

I know it is difficult to understand them since They are not precisely translated. But do you think this test are useful and for that nucleic acid amp test. I am not sure if it is listen in the ones above. Could this be also caused by stress? If so what could the penile blisters be? I just find it really rare i have all these after a high risk encounter. Thank you again!

[mkh9]

Well, none of these tests for what I mentioned. It is interesting they are checking you for Toxoplasma. This is for symptoms of fatigue swollen lymph nodes etc. Do you have a pet like a dog or cat? The FTA antibody is for syphillis. It is good to get this because the RPR is only 80% accurate. So it can't hurt. The glucose is to check for diabetes so maybe the doctor thinks the urination is due to that. I assume the f/c urine is a culture of urine? Which is good to try again. And they checking your kidney function and so forth to see why you are urinating so much. Did you tell the doctor about the penile blisters and/or show them to him? That may be also why they are rechecking the syphilis test because syphilis can give you a chancre sore. But it depend on how it looks. It is hard to say. I guess best to see what the results are. If the Syphilis FTA is negative. Do you still have the blisters?

[jmarcu91]

Thank you again! Results are back, part of them atleast. Since i still have to wait for cultures. Cardiolipine came back negative Wich i guess means i have no sífilis. Complete blood and urine tests looks normal, acording to the reference normal values. Semen culture and "uretral swipe" ill call it that way since i dont know its actual name. But is the test where They introduce a stick inside your penis. Gave this results ( ill try my best to translate them again)

1) cocos gram positive, loose in pairs and small groups- REG. QUANTITY.
2) bacilos gram positive- barely any
3) epitethal cells - REG QUANTITY
4)polimorfonucleic leucocites- eventually

I still have to wait for the other tests atleast a Couple of days. Yeah i still have a part of my penis with this small blister. At times it is Red ad times skin color. I showed it to him, he didnt comment what it could be the. Maybe he gave it Little interest. It looks like a Red area with small bumps, and now It is getting a little like dry. The first blister i got below the penis head área dissapeared a week ago. Thanks again. Ill let you know How the other tests went

[mkh9]

The results you gave me are normal. So that is good. It is normal to have those types of bacteria. What country are you from? I can understand your translation you doing a good job. Are the blisters really small and painful? Or are they brown? or skin colored?

Hi! I'm from Guatemala, and Im glad you can understand my translation. Haha! Well the blister that is left, is light Red almost like Pink. With small dots, sometimes it looks as id it was dry and turns grey. Sometimes part of my penis has just Red lines as id i had scratched it. And It has gotten fairly darker,this has me troubled because tests are normal ( up to now) and my symptoms might not be Std related but They started appearing after that exposure. Im freaked out because i dont know what it might be. I still have this mild burning Sensation on the genital area, and discomfort in bladder with more urination than usual. I add to that the blisters that have been coming and going. (tho one remains still and It has passed more than 2 weeks since it appeared) and the weird change in penile color. Mine with pale now part of it is very dark and sometimes with Red areas

[mkh9]

My neighbor is from Guatemala too. And one of my friends is also. Nice people from there. I wonder if it is HPV genital warts? I guess you will have to go by what the doctors think on this one. You haven't received the FTA results back yet right?  It doesn't sound like that though. It is usually one chancre sore. But it is still good they did that test. Your doctor didn't seem to think that it was anything when you showed it to him? Maybe that is why he did the syphilis test. I don't know. You could google HPV male genital warts to see if looks like those. It doesn't have severe itching right? If you look with a magnifying glass do they look irregular shaped like cauliflower and flat?

so they would be much much smaller. I wouldn't worry too much. If it was HPV they have creams or they can freeze them off. It may not be an STD since you were tested for everything. So, try not to stress over this. Stress only makes things worse.

Haha tell him you are helping an overstressed about Std guatemalan!!
Some other results are back t gondi igg and igm negative herpes 2 igg igm negative FTA ibs igm negative. I have looked over the Internet and It just freaks me out even more because those are severe cases i guess. I dont think They looks like couliflower They have a Red area as tho as if i had scratched them and They look like pimples grouped together

[mkh9]

Sorry you are stressing so much. That is great that all your results are negative so far really!! So the FTA being negative means you don't have Syphilis, and no herpes eihter. It is great. Well,  you should still get tested for the Trichomonas, Mycoplasma genitalium and Ureaplasma by a molecular method. After that if these are negative you don't have an STD or non-gonococcal urethritis either. So, if you can do those that would rule out all these things. As for the pimples maybe see a dermatologist? Or you could see if they are HPV. But they may not be because these are usually irregular shaped. Remember these are just superficial and non harmful (meaning the HPV). But if you have them there are ways to get rid of them. How long did you wait after you had the HIV test done. (I don't think you have this!!!) Just that usually people get retested after 3 months and 6 months to be sure. 3 months is really fine. 6 months is just for a few people who have immune systems that are low to start with. It is a just in case to make sure kind of thing. It has nothing to do with your symptoms. You don't have symptoms. So don't worry. Just good to get it done. I know it is not fun to have to wait but it is a precaution not because you have it. After the 6 months you are totally clear.  Otherwise, I don't know why your urinating so much since you checked your kidneys and don't know what else the pimples are. So not sure what else to say except see a dermatologist for it.

Well, I looked up constant or frequent urination and it said:
1. diabetes
2.enlarged prostate
3. Interstitial cystitis
4. drinking too much water (more than 8  glasses of water or a mix of 8 glasses of water or tea /coffee etc) a day.
5. Diuretic use.
6. Urinary tract infection (you already checked this).

Have you checked you blood sugar? I can't recall.
You can have the doctor check the prostate if he hasn't to see if enlarged.
do you take Diuretics to lower your blood pressure or other reasons?
I would think if you had cystitis the kidney function tests you had would be off but I don't know for sure.
regards,
mkh9

[jmarcu91]

I had the blood test for sugar. And its fine, I just find it so weid this is happening after 1 exposure. Because before that i was completely healthy

[mkh9]

Well it could be a coincidence or there could be a connection. I have seen many people on here that say the same thing. I don't know for sure.

Hi, I have been looking over the Internet for pictures. Since i cant and here one of my own. And found this one that looks really similar. Mine is not that big tho, and its located on the right side of my penis. I think its something called psoriasis Ill leave you the link:
http://www.google.com/search?q=penile+psoriasis&hl=es-ES&tbm=isch&prmd=ivns&ei=hYkCVJOnM8nxgwS5roCwAw&start=40&sa=N#i=1

But this woudnt explain the constant urination for over 2 months and the pain in the bladder tho. Well tomorrow i think Ill get the rest of the results and i have an appointment with the urologist on monday. Ill let you know How everything goes. Thank you again! You have been of great help

[mkh9]

Does it have that raised look that the psoriasis has? If so then it may be psoriasis. You need to see a dermatologist or rhematologist.
Yes It wouldn't explain the urination.
take care,

Hi. So results Re back, hiv negative. Tho in the Semen culture, and uretral swipe and culture it appeared: streptoccocus alpha hemolitic aislated. In both, and It says it is susceptible to levofloxacine, cefalotine, peninciline, ampiciline, and amoxiciline clauvanic acid. What. Could this be? Could this be a sign of chlamydia or mycoplasma. And Does this explain the constant urination and the weird blisters that now look like dry skin? Thanks you again

[mkh9]

Good to hear that the HIV was negative. How many months is that? The semen analysis is strange. Normally semen is not sterile and so the alpha streptococcus is usually normal depending on what type of bacteria they isolated. Did they identify which type of alpha strep it was? If it is pneumococci or strep pneumo this would be treated with antibiotics but if it is viridans strep then it would not.  Maybe you can ask them what type it is? Did the doctor want to treat you with an antibiotic since they did a antibiotic sensitivity test? You need to find that out. No this has nothing to do with Chlamydia or Mycoplasma. They are totally different bacteria. No I think you were possibly right about the skin looking like psoriasis. You should see a dermatologist or rheumatologist. The urination could potentially be affected if you had an infection but it would probably be often and a little bit at a time not a lot. Does this help?
