Question: Between 10/2010 and 1/2011 I visited 5 different female escorts having unprotected oral sex (giving and receiving). A few months latter I noticed a mild burning sensation in my urethra that lasted about a week. This happened three or four times until I finally was able to determined that it happened after washing my penis with a perfumed soap. I once tested it by using the perfumed soap and sure enough I felt the burning sensation for about a week afterwards. I stopped using the soap and everything was fine. Between 9/2012 and 2/2013 I visited four more escorts having unprotected oral sex (giving and receiving). About 30 days after visiting the final escort I started feeling a constant mild burning sensation in my urethra which felt very similar to the soap allergy. This burning sensation lasted about four months until I finally went to my GP and he diagnosed it as Balanitis. At this point I had redness around my foreskin and a small area of crouch itch on my thigh. He prescribed 5 daily tablets of Fluconazole 100 mg. A few days after taking the final tablet the burning seemed to disappear. This was around August of 2013. Since that time I have had several sensations of mild discomfort or mild burning in my urethra. In December I had a painful crack develop around my foreskin which I treated with Monistat 7 and it cleared right up. I have never observed any drainage from my penis. Should I be concerned that this is a symptom of a STD or do you think that it is something else unrelated to a STD perhaps related to yeast? My GP considers it a yeast related issue and does not consider it a STD.

That is a very interesting comment concerning yeast infections. That is something that I had not been aware of. Can you tell me if it is more likely for a man to get a yeast infection by giving oral sex to a female or by receiving oral sex from a female. I am assuming that a yeast infection can also be contacted in the mouth. I am also assuming that you are saying that I should not be concerned about having contacted any other STD based on these symptoms.
