What Causes Tingling Of Urethra?
Question: I have a tingling at the tip of my urethra.
Monday morning some precum was cloudy, but has been clear since. Later that afternoon I had brief unprotected sex as a bottom.
I was tested for Gonnorhea/Chlamydia/HIV 22 Jul 15 and was completely negative.
Could I have developed gonnorhea or something in the week or so since that test?

Brief Answer:
Trichomonas infection can produce tingling of urethra
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome toHCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had been tested for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea on 22nd July. But it had not been mentioned when exactly you had your sex. Is it with your regular partner or with an unknown girl? What about your marital state?
Tingling sensation of urethra is not common with Gonorrhea where the burning sensation while urination is obvious.
Tingling sensation of urine is common with Trichomonas infection and also in Herpes Prodromal syndrome.
Examination of urine in laboratory will give a clue to proceed further.
You can consult your physician, he/she will guide you better to rule out STD/HIV.

I am XXXXXXX male, married, open relationship.
In the past week I had sex 4x with three unknown male partners- all mutual oral, and one brief unprotected anal penetration as a recipient.
The upshot appears that gonorrhea does not come on gradually, but is more obvious when it does appear.
Trichomonas appears to require a vagina to pass.
Herpes is possible- STI clinics here don't test for that. I should look into that.
Doe that seem reasonable? Is there anything else I should consider? Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Tingling might be due to over anxiety also.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Yes you are correct. Gonorrhea would be more obvious and Trichomonas is common with vaginal penetration.
Herpes tests would be available in a nearby referral labs where your lab has link.
Tingling would not be a serious problem. Sometimes it might be due to your over anxiety or phobia about STDs.
Consult your physician and get rid of your fear after appropriate tests for STDs.
