Male Yeast Infection
Hello,
About a year ago I unfortunately had unprotected sex with a female. This only occurred one time. After about a week or two went by, I noticed a small flesh colored spot on the shaft under the head of my penis. I continued to watch this spot for about a week because i thought I may have caused it from masturbation or some clothes friction.
The spot turned into dead flakey skin and went away. I was somewhat terrified because I have never seen anything like this before even though it was hardly noticeable.
A few days later I began to get a clogged feeling in my urethra. It even felt like it was "blocking" me from peeing. This got pretty annoying so I called a doctor. I went in to see what he would say about the fleshy spot and the itchy urethra and he said I probably had a uti. Well he prescribed me some antibiotics and it only made me feel worse. I stopped taking them immediately.
After a week or so the feeling in my urethra stopped. But I still receive random spurts of pain or itchiness come about the head of my penis near the tip every once in a while.
The skin on my penis is sometimes a reddish color and looks a little more irritated than it had been. But this is not my concern. My concern is my overall health.
After a few more weeks after I noticed the UTI, I started to get stomach gas. This gas was getting worse and worse over the weeks. It felt like I had a leaking stomach with all the bubbles floating through it all day. I still have this occasion every day.
I began researching yeast because I saw that the red spots could have been yeast entering the body from contact with a female. This is where I began to start noticing similarities between all of my symptoms and a Candida Problem. Im not sure how this could have happened and I am still not positive this is my problem but that is my main question.
Does this sound yeast related? Can I get red dots on the head of my penis that are faint and have no figure or height to them? As in under the skin. Also my stomach problems seem to be Candida yeast related. I dont see how any of this could have come from anything else. Suggestions are appreciated and if you need more information I will gladly provide it.
Thanks Alot, in advance.

I know you are tired of doctors, but if all your tests came back negative, this isn't an std, and you owe it to yourself to look outside std as a cause, and find another reason.
You might post in the gastroenterology forum for better advice.

Side Note....
I strangely feel better every time I drink or eat. If I havent drank or ate anything in awhile and I get hungry or dehydrated, my symptoms seem to get worse. Its like my stomach is demanding food that I will not feed it.
Mass sugar craving (Im on a very strict sugar free diet for about 3 weeks) and just plain hunger are common. I have not lost any weight or have i gained any weight. This is how I have been my whole life. My weight stays static and never really changes unless I work out every day.
My body seems to be tired from all the digesting of my foods and all the gas that is built up from whatever is causing this. (In my opinnion the Candida albicans.)

Maybe I should clarify a little bit. I had tests run by the doctor. Im not evensure what he tested for honestly but, one of them was a blood test and the others were all pee cup tests for various things. My blood work came back perfect so I'm not sure what the deal is.
I don't feel sick and the doctor always feels my neck to make sure my nodes are fine ever time i go in there. I have no complaints except for the bad gas pains im feeling and a bit of a foggy mind.
My temperature is always perfect and I do not have any symptoms of HIV or any of the other stds that I am aware of. I just figured that the blood test the doc did was for all of that stuff.
I even went to a urologist and he checked me out saying that everything was ok and there was nothing to worry about. But my stomach problems just got worse from there.
I know that Yeast is a strange thing to discuss because most people don't know a whole lot about internal yeast problems but im just looking to see if anyone else has any similar problems or symptoms that can let me know where to go from here.
Im sick of spending money on docs that don't help me figure out what is causing my uncomfortable leaky gut and ibs issues.
