Recurrent Epididymitis after NGU?
Hi, thanks in advance for answering my questions:
In October i was diagnosed at Sexual Health Clinic with NGU and Epididymitis about 3 weeks after unprotected oral from a one night encounter. All other tests clear. My symptoms were frequent urination and dull ache in right testicle (no discharge).
Sexual health clinic prescribed 100mg doxycycline twice a day for 2 x weeks, completed as prescribed, frequent urination continued for a few weeks after treatment and the Epididymitis ache disappeared and then came back.
Had further swap test clear, urine dip test clear at STI clinic.
Doc tested for prostate problems in bloods and urine all clear and a few weeks ago still getting slight ache in right testicle i went back to doctor and the prescribed another round of 14 days 100mg doxycycline and seems to deal with it and it appears to have come back soon after this. Just a slight ache when i sit down or are resting usually in the evening.
Notes: Had a vascetomy in Jan 24 and also have phimosis, which required a circumscision a few days ago so I wont be having sex anytime soon. My urologist has prescribe me with 7 days of Co-Amoxiclav post circumscision.
My questions are as follows
was this more likely from the unprotected oral or the phimosis?
Do you think this could still be a bacterial problem if urine tests are negative or something else?
Am I at any risk of passing this on to my current partner?
Should I get retested at STI clinic or ask for any further tests from doctor?
Could this be caused by anxiety?
Any recommendations would be most welcome.
Thanks in advance
