Other possibilities include trichomonas (a parasite which can grow in
women's vaginas, and can then become chronic inside a man's prostate).
Men usually have minimal symptoms, but can keep re-infecting their
sexual partners. The drugs for treating trichomonas are different
than the traditional antibiotics, Flagyl being the msot commonly used.
(BTW, if you are put on Flagyl, you cannot drink alcohol while taking
it; you will have an unpleasant reaction if you drink while on
Flagyl).

Other causes could include something in the contraceptive gel (if such
is being used), or some other chemical irritant.
