Brief Answer:
You need to be tested for chlamydia.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
In my opinion you may suffer from Chlamydia.
Painful urination is a typical symptom of chlamydia. Also (but not always) you may notice small amounts of clear or cloudy discharge from the tip of the penis or testicles pain.
Almost half of all men with chlamydia don't notice any symptoms.
I would order for base line:
-chlamydia test on a urine sample or
-swab test where doctor will take sample from the urethra.
Your local doctors will know about this test.
Chlamydia is usually treated with antibiotics. The two most commonly prescribed antibiotics to treat chlamydia are:
-azithromycin which you take once or
-doxycycline (you had in India) which you have to take for 7 days.
Please note that your sexual partner should be treated as well.
After taking antibiotics you should be re-tested to be sure that the infection is cured.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
urine culture does not show pathogens which cause sexually transmitted disease.
Detailed Answer:
A standard urine culture does not show chlamydia or others std's.
Doxycycline which you get in XXXXXXX is not the first line antibiotic for the prostatitis treatment and urinary tract infection.
Even that your only sexual partner is your wife there is still a chance of chlamydia.
Thank You.
