What Causes Constant Wetness In Groin Area After Unprotected Anal Sex?
Question: last year i received unprotected anal sex. since then i have been having some issues. mu underwear is always wet and im not sure if its from sweat or urine. this only started after the intercourse. i have had many std tests and they r always negative. is it possible i may have some internal muscles damage or is this some other type of infection
Brief Answer:
Hemorrhoids seem most probable. Please consult proctologist.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
If I have to take a guess, the underwear wetness is caused by a mucus. It comes from your anus. Mucus is constantly produced by intestinal cells. It helps with stool movement. In case of constipation, inflammation or hemorrhoids, there may be a clear, wet discharge from the rectum.
It is not an STD or muscle damage. Most likely you have internal hemorrhoids. You can not see them or feel them. However you may have some itching around the anus and trace of blood can appear on the surface of the stool from time to time.
I suggest you to consult proctologist with this issue. You should have rectal examination and rectoscopy should be considered.
To improve hemorrhoids condition, you may try OTC hemorrhoids suppositories, sitz baths with Oak Bark. You should also add some fiber to your diet.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

i wear black underwear and see no stains of mucus. the wetness is in my genital area
Brief Answer:
Mucus does not have to leave stains.
Detailed Answer:
Mucus does not have to leave stains. It can be clear like a water. Just more gel like. Wetness comes from the front or back?
If its from the front urethra is the most probable source of it. Have you had any swab test taken directly from urethra?
Do you have any itching around the genital area? Any redness? If so, fungal infection can be the case.
If the wetness appears on the front of the underwear, I suggest you to have swab test from urethra done and consider dermatologist consult to rule out fungal infection.

Brief Answer:
Redness around urethra opening suggests Chlamydia infection.
Detailed Answer:
There is a clearly visible redness around the urethra opening. Along with possible discharge, Chlamydia infection seems the most probable reason.
Chlamydia diagnostics is sometimes hard. Swab test can be negative (due to poor sample quality).
The best for Chlamydia diagnostics is urine sample collected from the first, morning urine. Sample should be checked with method called enzyme immunoassay - EIA or nucleic acid amplification techniques - NAAT.
If this was not done, results can be false negative.

but would i get chlamydia in my penis if i only received anal intercourse. my penis was not touched
Brief Answer:
You could get infected during another intercourse.
Detailed Answer:
Was mentioned intercourse your first and last intercourse? If you have had any other intercourse, the infection could appear before or some time after mentioned intercourse. It could be present for a long time without giving any symptoms.

how long would it take for chlamydia or any other std to make u infertile
Brief Answer:
Chlamydia can never cause infertility.
Detailed Answer:
Chlamydia only in rare cases can cause infertility. It can happen in case of testis infection. The same thing is with other STDs. So its hard to tell if and how long it takes for chlamydia or any other STD to cause infertility. It can be very quick (a month) or it can never happen.
