tender testicles and wrinkled penis head after chlymidia Posted: 02-08-08 14:55pm
6 months ago I contracted an STI which was
originally diagnosed as NSU and a few days
later found to be Chlamydia. I was given
antibiotics to treat the infection but
returned to the clinic two weeks after
finishing as i was still showing symptoms.
I was told that infections differ in
strength and given another course of a
different antibiotic.
This seemed to clear up any signs of
chlamydia but some symptoms persisted and
i still didn't feel healthy. I constantly
felt a very slight discomfort in the head
of my penis, my testicles constantly
tender and i imagine they felt like they
were tingling. Most worringly, i had sort
of a cracked/ wrinkled penis head and
occasional red marks again on the penis
head. I saw my GP and went back to the
GUM clinic, both said everything seemed
fine and it was probably just a fungal
infection.
6 months on, i still feel exactly the
same. The discomfort, tingling and red
marks are still continuing. I don't want
to go back to the doctor and be made to
feel like i'm overreacting but at the same
time i could do with some guidance. I'm
concerned that i have genital herpes
however when i've mentioned this on the
four or five occasions i've sought medical
attention, they've always been very quick
to dismiss the possibility. has anybody
experienced anything similar?
