Look, take it easy. There is nothing seriously wrong with you except a mild paranoia. You dont have an STD of any kind, but might have a fungal infection, along with some staph, Thats damn close to normal, almost everybody has some kind of an itch or a rash down there. Dont panic!
You should post in the dental health forum for that.

I have been on Cipro and Fluconazole for almost 10 days now - things do seem to have gotten better - especially with the tingling on different parts of the body. I am also using Staphaseptic on the scrotal area for the discomfort and tingling there. This really seems to help. I am starting to believe that this is either a bacterial type of staph infection or possibly some kind of Candida/Yeast issue. I am leaning towards the bacterial staph since the skin culture found the antibiotic resistant Staphylococcus bacteria and Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteria growth on the scrotum - which I think is not normal. This does sound like it could possibly be MRSA based on my research. MRSA is a growing epidemic. Many people pick it up in hospitals and then transfer it to other people via skin to skin contact. I will ask the doctor when I see him this week.
The good news is whether Candida/Yeast or MRSA - both are treatable especially when dealt with early.
The one problem I still have besides for the tingling scrotum area is that when I eat sugars, breads, etc.... my saliva seems to feel more mucous-like and I have to spit more often ----this happens less frequently as it used too ----but I want it gone completely. If anyone has info on what may help, please post.
Also, I found a tongue-scraper and biotene mouth wash helped me.
I tried the chicken fat thing.. didn't work... even made things a little worse... but what I have been doing for the last 5 days has been giving me improvements in the oral thrush area. I have been eating a clove of garlic every, then holding a tablespoon of yogurt in my mouth for 5 minutes, after which I spit it out.. I do this every 3 hours because that was what was recommended.. It's the only thing I'm sure is helping, although I found another something that really seems to be helping.. but I'll mention it in a few days, just so I can be sure.. I read somewhere that it is good to use grapefruit seed extract in water on all vegetables you ingest(including the garlic).. This is supposed to rid the veggies of mold, thus not feeding any candida albicans or yeast, (and actually fighting them off in the case of the garlic.) This makes sense to me because a number of sources suggest grapefruit seed extract as a tool in fighting candida albicans. The best thing though that I can suggest, and which seems to be helping me the most is the supplements I bought.. Go to a health food store.. or whole foods.. and look for supplements that are candida albican, or yeast fighters.. this has been helping me the most.. I no longer have blood in my urine, and my ear infection is almost gone... The symptoms of my yeast infection are nearly non-existant now, and the oral thrush is subsiding... one of my lymph nodes is still swollen, but that is showing that my immune system is responding to the yeast infection. My throat isn't sore today.. Thank God. I will leave a list on this site later today, of all the foods I know for sure are okay to eat if you're trying not to feed the yeast. Any not on the list are ones that I found conflicting info on, or that I noticed made things worse....like that chicken fat thing and beans..... It is really important to treat your vegetables with the grapefruit seed extract.. because even ones that don't normally feed the yeast.. may have small amounts of mold just from sitting in your fridge... and that mold if not removed feeds the yeast. This is all just suggestions from what I am trying now, and what seems to be helping.. and what I have read.... Please think about these things on your own, and read about the condition on your own as well, and if you feel something is not working.. then quit using it.. Some supplements.. such as the wormwood one I am taking.. mention that for day or two after it can make you feel tired... and cause various other symptoms... that might make you feel worse.. just because it is killing the candida so rabidly.. and many of the supplements I am taking on the label, suggest easing into it.. starting at a smaller dose, and then increasing the dose for the same reason.. always read the label, and follow the directions... Love, Annie
If you are reacting to foods that are high in sugars, etc., maybe you need to be tested for diabetes, or even celiac disease.
Its not an std.

Hey. I know how you feel hunny. It sounds to me like yeast infection... you probably already knew. There are many things that you can try.. but don't do the flucanazole that **** makes; it worse everytime for me.. and I looked up statistics on it.. It really only cures 28 percent of people who take it according to a study from a clinic that specializes in vaginal ph. You may want to finish taking it though first, just to see.. but don't get your hopes up pal. I know your a man.. but men get yeast infections too... You should read this site.. and stay away from sugar or foods that your body treats like sugar... basically.. if it tastes good to you, or you crave it.. don't eat it.. because thats the yeast telling you to eat it. I've been to the doctor 14 different times in the past year... Every perscription didn't work, and made things worse. I am praying that I will not die of a yeast infection, because I now have oral thrush, because the doctors don't care about anything except their stupid ******* kick-downs from the pharmie companies. I went to a natural food store a few days ago, and I bought some supplemts that were specifically for candida albicans overgrowth. The one that seems to be helping most is called 'the original wormwood combination. It has in it, black walnut leaf, wormwood herb, Quassia amara, cloves, and Male Fern Root. I have been reading info on yeast for days,
I am going to try something new for the oral thrush that I just read about, and old natural remedy that is said to work. Stew an organic hen. pour the broth into a pot once cooled. Put in a refridgerator and fat will rise to the top. Scrape the fat from the broth. Rub the fat inside the mouth and repeat for several days.
There are variations in the right foods to eat for candida on every site.. but I know for sure... no sugar.. no fruit.. no beans., no bread, no oats, or rice... What I'm going by is if one site says no to it.. then it's out... Broccoli, and garlic together is supposed to be really good for cutting down the candida... I'm going to right a list today of foods that all the sites say are good to eat... The foods that they all have in common on the good to eat list...
I'll get back to everyone on whether or not the Hen fat works for the oral thrush.. and with the list.
Hi,
For 8 months I have been having this phlegm after a sore throat after having sex witha guy, protected, now have sinus problems and pressure.
I had all you mention from tingling to headaches and ringing. I have vision problem also
if you tested at that time for STD's then you are fine I guess, i did too.....it might be stress. Talk to someone you trust.....I am afraid to tell you that the post nasal drip has no cure so is the sinus problem, we all have them, and they are complicated things for Drs.
Regards,
FWK
