I have an undiagnosed urethral infection; STD's all negative
I am quite worried as I am experiecing symptoms that so far 5 doctors from various clinics have not yet been able to diagnose yet alone treat. I have tested negative for chlamydia, gonorrhoea, TB and mycloplasma. Symptoms first occured around 3 weeks after having unprotected sex with a female.
Symptoms:
Pain/stinging when urinating
Itchy / Inflamed tip of penis
Creamy white discharge from penis (NOT from under the foreskin but from the 'hole' especially in the mornings)
(No swollen lymph nodes, testicles are not swollen or painful)
Treatment failures so far (in order)
1. Doxycycline - 7 day course
2. Azithromycin - x2 500mg at once
3. Azithromycin - extended course x1 500mg, followed by x1 250mg once a day for 4 days + Metronidazole 400mg x1 a day for 7 days
4. Moxifloxacin - 10 day course
The only treatmnts had hadany noticeable affect were Azithromicin extended course and Moxifloxacin. They removed symptoms for approximately 2/3 weeks
- After believing the 3rd course had treated my symptoms, I then had unprotected sex with a regular female partner. She then began to experience symptoms after 1 month. Symptoms were an itching vagina, pain when urinating, and discharge.
Each of the prescriptions were prescribed without a confirmed diagnosis. The most recent course of Moxifloxacin I have finished was for suspected mycoplasma genitalium, although the tests came back negative when I was half way through antibiotics for it. However, after a few days of taking the anti biotics the tip of my penis was itching and red. When I went back to the clinic, the doctor said this whole time it has been Thrush and prescribed me a tablet + cream. I then later read that anti biotocs can cause thrush, and therefore my original problem has not been taken care of.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Even just knowing what I have would really improve my outlook on this situation.
Thanks

Hi,
Maybe, you and your partner might both have Urethritis now? If it happens to be Urethritis, both of you can become re-infected by a sexual partner who hasn't been treated. Both of you need to make another visit to the doctor's office for an exam, to get some answers and treatment soon. You might want to do a bit of online research to compare your symptoms with the description of Urethritis to see if they match.
Good Luck
