Urethritis or anxiety
Hi all, I had vaginal sex with a women and the condom broke :( I also performed maybe 1-2 seconds of oral sex.
Days after I became sick with a sore throat, I was diagnosed with strep group C after 3 weeks. I was put on a variety of antibiotics (azithromycin / cephalexin / clindamycin ) for the strep. Sore throat has lasted 8 weeks, but it's improved a lot.
After 4-5 weeks, I started getting very concerned that I picked up an STD as the throat was not improving.
At 6 weeks post exposure, I started noticing some pain in urethra. It was constant pain, didn't change when I urinated or ejaculated and no discharge. I've been worried about more throat, and depending on what I worry that day the pain is either in my throat or penis. Yesterday, my throat was feeling bad and I didn't notice urethra pain; today it's swapped as my throat has started improving rapidly so I've been mentally focusing on my penis.
I started dry masturbating frequently around week 6-7 (2x a day for 8 days) which could've also made the pain worse.
I've done all the regular STD tests (HSV2/Gon/chlamydia/etc) both oral and urine swaps where appropriate -- all negative. Girl also tests clean for all common STDs -- however, she can be a little sketchy which is why I'm VERY worried.
A few questions:
1.) How likely is it for urethritis to show up after 6 weeks? Potentially the antibiotics slowed it down?
2.) How common is urethritis to only have a constant pain and not change when urinating, etc?
3.) How likely is it to be a real issue if some days I notice it and other days I don't?
