Hi everyone,
I have been struggling for years with what I am pretty sure is a STD, but I can’t get a diagnosis or much help from the doctors I have seen so far. It all started a couple of years ago when I had protected sex with a stranger. After a couple of hours I immediately noticed redness on my scrotum, moist skin and a weird feeling that is something between itching and burning. About a week later I began to have tingling in my legs and bumps on my anus that were diagnosed as haemorrhoids (although I am not sure that was a correct diagnosis). A week later I did a blood test for STDs (and repeated in a month and three months). The only positive results at the time were Chlamydia Igg and HSV-2 IgG, while both IgM were negative. My doctor assured me I am fine, my symptoms slowly started to fade, but were still present (reoccurring in intervals of a couple of weeks). A few months after I felt better, convinced myself I was fine and I started a new relationship. Right after I started having sex again the scrotum redness and itching feeling came back. The only other new symptom I had is a frequent need to urinate, but no pain and no discharge. My new girlfriend started having similar symptoms, but for her it got much worse with time. It started the same with a weird feeling of itching or burning, but progressed to move severe symptoms including white/yellow discharge, pain during sex, small bleeding after sex, cessation of menstruation and gastrointestinal issues. We both got tested multiple times for STDs including HPV, Chlamydia, Gonorrhoea, Trichomonas, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma from both urine and swab samples, but all results came back negative (PCR method). Her gynaecologist diagnosed a PID and a closed fallopian tube, so we both got treated with Azithromycin. That seemed to help and her condition improved. It was good for around month and then again all the symptoms came back for both of us. I am really frustrated and out of ideas what this is and what I can do about it. I have seen a lot of doctors and most of them did not take me seriously as all my test results came back negative.
Thanks in advance.
