my story

It all started in May (2005). I had a red rash on the head of my penis
which didn't hurt or itch. Didn't think much of it, and it went away on
its own in a few days. But at that point I developed urethritis so I
went to see the doc and I tested positive for Chlamidya (urine PCR
test). Got 1g of Zythromax and a 7-day course of Cipro (this was before
the test results were back to cover for both Chlamidya and Gonorrhea).
At the end of the week the symptoms were almost all gone and I went on
a trip. During the trip symptoms came back. At the beginning of June
the doctor tested me again and gave me another 1g of Zythromax and a
7-day course of Doxycycline, again before the test results were back.
Because my specimen was misplaced twice, I didn't get the result until
after I finished the Doxy: the result was actually negative.
During the Doxy course however the symptoms worsened a LOT. I got pain
on the tip of my penis and generalized burning on scrotum, perineum and
anus. I even thought that it could be a yeast infection from the Doxy.
The doctor gave me an antifungal cream that seemed to help. However
pain on tip of penis and generalized burning and disconfort continued.
Also I have a clear sticky liquid inside urethra which does not leak on
its own but comes out if I milk it. The liquid is very sticky. No other
symptom beyond the pain and the fluid: urination is fine, ejaculation
is not painful. For a while amount of ejaculate was very small and very
yellow.
Went to see a urologist who performed 2 urineanalysis both negative. He
said that the it could not be an infection so he told me to take hot
baths and ibuprofen (I took 600 or 800mg twice a day). No improvement.
Went to the STD clinic where I was given 1g Zythromax and an IM
injection of 125mg of Rocephin. Felt good for 2 days then bad again.
Tests for all STDs negative.
Went to see another urologist that massaged my prostate and looked at
the EPS: no white cells. We also cultured and tested it via PCR for
Chlamydia: negative. He thinks it's just an inflammatory response that
will go away in time.
At this point (beginning of July) symptoms were VERY slowly improving.
Pain was bearable, ejaculate was back to normal in quantity and aspect.
Still some feeling of heat in perineum and urethra and the sticky fluid
still there. I had been taking a combination of quercetin and sting
nettle and also cernilton flower pollen.
Last weekend symptoms suddenly worsened: two things could have
triggered this. I drank 1-2 glasses of wine every night of the weekend
(have been abstaining from alcohol). Also I had receptive anal sex (I
am gay) for the first time since this whole thing started.
So I'd like to know if you have an advice: more tests? other
treatments?
thanks
