What Do Urination Urgency And Pain In Urethra Indicate?
Question: had unprotected sex about 3 weeks ago and went to doctor.. tested for gonareha chlamydia and hiv all came back negative ... that was blood test and also urine came back clean..as in nothing.. i have NO discharge but the doctor thought my prostate was "boggy" i have urgency to urinate but not severe and also urethra feels a little raw.. could this be trich? or maybe its all in my head and its prostatitis? any thoughts
Brief Answer:
Prostatitis due to this present exposure is unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Tests done after 3 weeks can rule out Gonorrhea and possibly Chlamydia. HIV test by 3 weeks can not be 100% reliable. Better to repeat the test after 12 weeks. (Antigen detection test could be repeated after 4 weeks to get a more confirmed result).
Prostatitis is common with Gonorrhea and Chlamydia rather than trichomonas. When you ruled out the possibility of Gonorrhea and Chlamydia, you can rule out the possibility of prostatitis due to STD cause. If there is prostatitis it would reflect slightly in the urine test.
If there is prostatitis, I would like to attribute that it was present prior to this exposure and not related to this present exposure.
Normally urethritis manifest as anterior urethritis and if left un-interfered, it would extend as posterior urethritis and then only leads to prostatitis. within 3 weeks manifestation of prostatitis is quite unlikely due to this present exposure.

I had prostitiits before.. so it could be that..what antibiotic would you recommend? What does ipro clear up infection wise
Brief Answer:
Culture test with prostatic fluid and semen help in the diagnosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Yes it could be the old prostatits. Culture and sensitivity test from prostatic fluid or semen will reveal the cause and the appropriate antibiotics sensitivity. Gonococcal culture and Chlamdial PCR are also helps to fix the diagnosis. As per the outcome of these test reports we can choose the most appropriate treatment. Sometimes a repeated prostatic massage will help in the management of chronic prostatitis. I don't have any idea about IPRO clearup.
