STI symptoms over a year later

Hi,

I'm wondering if recent symptoms I have could be related to an STI.

Twice in the last month I've had pain/burning 5-10 mins after ejaculation followed by burning when peeing. The burning generally goes away in a day or so. Tested for UTI both times with none found although there is blood in the urine. Also have lower back and abdominal pain as well as groin pain.

I've been with one partner for the past year. I'm sure she does not have an STI. The only other thought that comes to mind is a handful of oral sex interactions I had prior to this partner which were 1.5 - 2.5 years ago. Used protection in all cases. Condom may have broken in one instance about 2 years ago but not sure.

Could my recent symptoms be something like chlamydia or trichomoniasis that I didn't realize I had??

You could get gonorrhea from oral sex, but not having symptoms for a year would be unusual.

You can get something called NGU, which is any infection in the urethra not caused by gonorrhea, from oral sex. It can be caused by normal mouth bacteria, adenovirus (causes upper respiratory infections), strep, etc. If your current partner has been sick, and gave you oral sex, you can get that germ in your urethra.

Blood in the urine with no bacteria could indicate a few different things - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/blood-in-urine/symptoms-causes/syc-20353432

If they haven't checked your urine for white blood cells, ask for that. If you haven't had STD testing done, you should get that done, too. Since blood in your urine with no bacteria can indicate other, some serious, things, you should ask for a referral to a urologist.

In the meantime, increase your water intake and decrease your caffeine and alcohol intake. Both of those can be very irritating to your bladder.
