Your Opinion Please. the Clap Or Herpes? Posted: 09-10-07 13:10pm
I had sore testicles for about a week,
the this itchy burning sensastion in my
penis for about another week.
Herpes chlamydia and gonorrhea have the
itchyness.
I have no lesions (very small reddish spot
thats been there since May, doesnt hurt or
anything, barely noticeable), a tiny tiny
bump (about the size of a pin head that
doesnt hurt), sore skin, and couple super
tiny red dots (smaller than a pin head).
Gonorrhea can cause the sore testicles
(which is common i guess).
I dont know what I have. Im waiting for
test results for gonorrhea/chlamydia and
im scared to ask my parents to take me to
the urgent care for the 4th time this
month.
ANy thoughts? please
Im just scared to death and I apologize
for so many posts. Im in tears right now
typing this fearing my life is never going
to be the same.

Go to the doctor while you still have the
symptoms so that you can get a correct
diagnosis.

I went in for the sore testes and they
said I have epidydimis (often caused by
gonorrhea). They gave my doxycyclin. It
didnt work.
A week later I go back and get a different
kind of meds (Ciprofloaxcin...another
gonorrhea med), and a antibacterial shot.
At that time the burning had kind of
began.
Im 5 days into the new meds and I havent
had any improvemnet and the burning seems
like its worse now.
What do I do?

Honestly, the only way you can get a
diagnosis is with a test.
If your doc has ran std tests, you can
only wait for the results.
Good luck.

ok so I got the results. They said
negative for any STD's.
Not sure if that covers herpes or not.
The pains are going away though, but still
there.
What next? get a blood test for herpes?

Did they test for herpes with the other
std tests?
Herpes can involve discharge from the
penis, and always involves sores. You may
also have pain in your genital area and
possibly burning when you pee.
You doc should be helping you out with
this!! If you don't feel like you're
getting what you need from your doc, you
need to be direct and say "I'd really like
to know what I have so I can prevent
spreading it" and see what she says. If
the doc says that you have something else,
trust her and try the treatment. If it
doesn't get better, go back and ask again!

Epididymis is a part of your anatomy, not
a disease. (Or however you spell that)
As much as you hate it, you need to see a
doc (a gp not an er doc)

I meant like a general practitioner or a
urologist, just not someone in an
emergency room. They are usually just
trying to get rid of you because they have
critical cases to deal with.
Syphilis also is indicated by lesions or
sores.
Make an appointment with a real doctor who
figure it out and walk you through
treatment.

Wouldn't they have tested for that when
you got tested for stds?
I think you need to make an appointment
with your doctor. No one on this board can
diagnose you.
