STD possibilities ?
Posted: 05-04-08 15:32pm

my husband of 14 yrs had an affair with a girl who really gets around. Shortly after I had suffered with a god awful vaginal infection. (I had a complete radical hysterectomy 7 years ago, but kept my cervix). I am 38 yrs old. I noticed the first time I made love with him a foul or strange odor to his ejaculation - it just smelled different and strange (after 14 yrs a girl knows - but he had been away at work for 3 months, so I let it go for then). I immediately worried about clymaddia so I asked my doctor for a zpac and I seemed to get better but he showed no signs of infection and because I am post menopausal I was using a KY product with menthol for warming which potentially could have set off an infection. So I stopped using that product, and my doc gave me difuclan to battle the yeast set off by the antibiotic. Still no signs of anything in the hubby.

So I stopped having sex with him for a while up until the last few weeks. Again the smell of his stuff is still funky, and after sex he says he itches, and I itch - and it stinks down there for me too because of his stuff, and it makes my rectum area itchy too. Also, the last two times I have experienced some vaginal bleeding (but the doctor said because I am post menopausal it could be vaginal atrophy and recommended a water soluble menthol free and scent free lubricant which helped) but the rectal itching and irration is still there.

I also noticed, for the first time ever, a small - about the size of a baby's pinky finger tip round bump on his penis shaft - solid, not a blister, just a bump (did not look like a blister but then again all this std stuff is all new to me, I have never cheated in all the 14 years we have been married and typing this up is very embarrassing to me). I showed him and he blew it off like it was no big deal but I could tell it scared him.

I am mad cause I already took all these meds and now I have to go be embarrassed at a doctors all over again and drag his dumb rear end with me. What I need to know is what potential std's are we looking for? We have a lot of itchiness going on in this house - itchy feet, itchy hands, strange rashes on inner thighs and stuff - and we are towel sharers, (and we have children (can you pass you stuff by sharing towels?). I am very concerned and would like some advice.

I just want what whatever this is to be treated, to go away and to never return, and for a doctor to reiniterate the importance of using condoms to my husband should he ever be foolish enough to cross this line again and risk losing all of us.

Thanks for any help you can give.
