Irritated meatus (pee hole) - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

I had unprotected sex in mid september. I developed a fungus from this encounter. The fungus was just a small spot at the base of the glans. After several weeks trying topical antifungals I went to the doctor and was given ketaconizole. This killed the fungus in two weeks.
Right about 3 months after the sexual encounter I started having this pain and minor redness around the meatus. I immediatley went to the doctor who didnt think anything was wrong but treated me for gonorea and chlamydia. They also took a culture. The lab results are not back yet since we are in a remote location.
Well about two weeks after being treated for those two stds my symptoms persisted. I went back to the doctor and after much discussion I got him to treat me for trich and yeast.
Now its been a week and a half and no relief.
The pee hole(meatus) is slightly swollen around the top and also slightly red. It feels worse than it looks. Underware really irritate it.
I have no discharge that I can see.
Another thing that I have noticed since the sexual encounter is that during an erection the top portion of the meatus is not closed. It is always open during an erection. This is the area that is irritated all the time.
I was given rocephin, azithromiacyn, flagyl and duflican.
When the lab results come back I will know if I was ever even infected but since the treatment didnt work is it safe to say that I have nothing infectious?

Well, no, you could still have an STD that is caused by a virus (like herpes). Antibiotics don't do anything to treat viral infections.

Good point.
Would HSV present like this.
3months after encounter.
No bumps or blisters or scabs.
Last for a month.

I did get my labs back. They only tested for Gonnorea and Chlamydia. Both negative.
Cortizone 10 seems to reduce the redness and puffiness.
Bacitracin seems to ease the slight pinching feeling.
I only started these two in the last 2 or 3 days.

I don't know, you could ask on the herpes board. You could also have a herpes test. I'd stop putting different medicines on it, if you don't know what you have. Maybe you don't have anything, but you keep irritating it by touching and poking and prodding. Some people also get some OCD issues after unprotected sex, don't know if that describes you, but it is something to think about.

i had the same problem and it turned out to be a narrow urethra.took 6 months of hell to figure out. Had surgery and for most part its cleared up. still a little red but dosnt hurt anymore. i suggest bring up this possiabilty with your doc, seeing as i went through every test and treament imagineable before gettin it right
