Question: Relevant information:
Three years ago I had unprotected oral and regular sex with a girl. About a week later I noticed all the symptoms of chlamydia, I know this because I had it once before in the past. I started taking doxycycline, which was working, but I run out. A week later it’s back in full force. I go to the doctor he prescribes me azithromycin which has no effect, my girlfriend got tested and it’s not any standard std. I take doxy again, it works and the worst of it is gone. But since then during sex, especially after that feeling of like holding it back, there is a ton of clear discharge. Way too much to go unnoticed, and then for 2 hours after as well, enough to make a mess. Also, when urinating I dribble at the end for about 5 minutes, no matter how long I try. I went to a urologist who essentially told me I’d have to live with it and there’s no test he can do, which is devastating since it effectively ends my sex life all together. He said he could test for a stricture but didn’t.

The question:
Is there really no test other than a urine test(which came up negative)? Could it be a prostate infection from oral sex? Could it be a stricture? I haven’t noticed any problem maintaining a stream of urine, only at the end does it seem to be a problem. How does a stricture produce discharge? Thank you for your time.

Does a stricture cause discharge like this? They did the urine culture and the ultrasound(I think, at least of my abdomen) and they came back negative. The urologist I saw said there is no way to test for a specific bacteria, and didn’t mention anything about a uretheral discharge culture test. Would you suggest seeing another urologist? He’s the only one medicaid covered, so I’m wondering if maybe that test wasn’t covered by insurance so he didn’t bother mentioning it.

Could it still be contagious? How long does bactrim usually take before you see a change? And If bactrim doesn’t work, then what? I’ve already tried cipro, and doxy. Also I sometimes notice a slight pain in my right testicle, could that be related? I’m sorry for all the questions, it’s just really important, and I’m having a really hard time getting help.

The only doctor I can come close to affording says “only option is cut it off”(meaning my penis, direct quote), no tests offered other than a urine culture that he didn’t bother sending in. Nothing, and it means I can never be with a girl again, use a public bathroom, sleep without extra thick boxers on, or even know what’s wrong with me and if I can give it to someone else. No one can tell me anything but ‘get tests done somewhere else’, at best, and there is nowhere else, the only available doctor for me doesn’t even seem to be aware of them, let alone willing/available to discuss any of it aside from the the 3 minutes I got to see him after a 4 month in advance appointment, and I have no idea how to bring up that I think more can be done/tested for without appearing disrespectful, if I ever did get past the waiting period. I’m on my own, and I’m screwed, got it. I appreciate your time and I apologize for the rant. I think you understand the frustration, which has nothing to do with you.
