July 28th - Unprotected sex.

July 28th - started feeling tingling in penis (thought it was urethritis from washing with soap.)

July 29th - August 5th - frequent urination, STD anxiety. Tingling in penis.

August 5th - Covid positive, took week off work -  still experiencing symptoms - started taking Macrobid (thinking it was UTI.)

August 15th - noticed cloudy urine, clear yellow, but swirly, completed cycle of Macrobid, went to clinic (ashamed - mentioned I thought it was UTI.) UTI tested, prescribed keflex.

(Asked girl if she was tested recently, yes. Negative on everything. Her husband is experiencing zero symptoms of anything.)

At this time I’m mentally freaking out, hiding this from my wife. (I know I messed up.)

August 17th - negative UTI.

August 20th - still frequently urinating, tingling in tip. Back to clinic, spill the beans - tell them everything- in this order. NP Orders urine test for STD, assured me that he believes it’s mental, and I know I messed up and I’m letting anxiety take control of my body. Tells me to leave Reddit alone and stop self diagnosing.

August 24th - negative STD Screen.

August 24 - September 30th - still oily urine, slight tingling sensation, sometimes gets worse - unprotected sex with wife (she shows no symptoms.)

October 3rd - still tingly, still oily urine - go to different clinic, physical exam on penis/pelvis. Another STD urine screen. Referred to urologist.


Everytime I think if it it, symptoms seem to get worse.

Could a guilty conscience cause these symptoms? My wife is literally showing zero systems, the other person and her husband are clean (supposedly)

How can I get out of my mind enough to ease these symptoms?
