Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You had not mentioned about your age and type of sexual activities.
Anyhow following Minocyclin capsules the urine becomes bacteria free and the tingling sensation remains means that it may be due to an associated Trichomonas (a protozoal infection) urethritis. It can be demonstrated by simple test from urine or from wet smear from urethra.
A course of Metronidazole or Tinidazole may help you to get relieved from your problem. You consult your physician and under his guidance you have this treatment.
Drinking adequate fluids also sometimes relieve your problem.
