Good day (Dr)
Thank you very much for the answer.
Here are my answers to your questions
1. Yes I am married
2. Yes the woman is known to me and she is not the wife. She also went to the Dr for antibiotics and some injections as a precaution, though she never had any symptoms whatsoever.
3. I do not have any burning when I pass urine, but sometimes immediately afterwards it burns for 3 seconds or so and subsides.
4. No difficulty in passing urine.
5. I am circumcised, but the gland gets dry and the opening tends to loose moisture such that it closes. But when i pass urine it becomes fine.
6. I have not done any tests thus far.
