Suggest Treatment For Tingling Sensation In The Penis And Rectal Area
Question: hello doctor,
i want your opinion on this please.
It has been 90 days since my unprotected sex exposure.
On the second day i started getting that burning/sensitive/tingling sensation in penis and rectum. No burning during urination only AFTER, no discharge, no lesions or sores or red spots anywhere till today. lttle redness penis head. Urge to pee is there when sensitivity happens.
Did test PCR RealTime HIV, HBV & HCV post exposure 25 days and negative for all.
Tested 70 days post exposure for all other bacterial STI and STD like herpes etc using PCR through blood and swab (from inside penis) and all came negative except HSV1 antibody was positive in blood but negative in urethra swab.
Semen and Urine culture showed no growth or anything.
The pain/uncomfortable tingling feeling inside urethra and rectum is still there.
I think it got agitated more after the swab test was taken.
It seems to increase when i wear tight pants or when i get angry at something, so i am sure it is inflamed and gets worse when i am agitated.
I tried so many different antibiotics, anti inflammatory pills and anti fungal creams but no affect. Only time seems to make it better but i really want full relief.
I even checked with the girl lately whom i had intercourse with and she said that she tested lately and no infections whatsoever.
Could it be the condom mixed with my sperm?
What would you recommend me doing at this stage?

Brief Answer:
Inflammation
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
You should be thankful that you didn't catch anything major during the act. You seem to be having urethritis. Urethritis can be just inflammation and no infection.
What you need is antiinflammatory agents. One of the antiinflammatory agents I usually offer to my patients is curcumin. It is food supplement and without any major side effects. You can start yourself on approximately 2 gm of curcumin in divided doses every day. Make sure that you take it with hot milk for 10 days and then get back to me.
Take care
Sincerely
