Do I have an STD or is it all in my head? (Medical Experts Preferred)?!


Question: Do I have an STD or is it all in my head? (Medical Experts Preferred)?
Last night I had my first sexual experience in my life. After battling deeply with the choice to have oral sex to discover my sexual self I decided to go through with it and had unprotected oral sex with another older man who said he was clean and had his last check in late January. We both ejaculated outside of the mouth and only sucked each other very shortly. After wards I became very scared and questioned his "clean status" to which he continued to support his previously stated answer.

I showered in really hot water and cleaned the head of penis and got a little burned. The more I though that what I did was wrong the more my penis began to feel weird. At first I just had a weird feeling that lasted a little while but now the tinkling pain has escalated and when I urinated in the morning it burned a little. The tinkling feeling has not gone away and is making me want to pee but I cannot.

I went to the bathroom again and have not experienced the burning feeling anymore. I researched symptoms of STD's and also tinkling feeling s in the head of penis and it seems as if i might have an STD.

I have not gone to an STD clinic yet because I want it to wait a little to see if this is just psychological or actually an infection.

I have not experienced any skin discolouration, discharge or strange urine smells. And I do have a history of being a of hypochondriac and having sensitive skin.

My older brother has a had lots of unprotected oral sex and has no moral obligations towards it and has never experienced anything abnormal except for the occasional strange stream-line urination.

Should I get myself checked-out? Is this all in my head? Help?

P.S. I posted this question on a medical website and I got one answer that basically said that it was all in my head an that symptoms do not appear a day after. Now I'm starting to feel better because I've been kind of reassured that nothing is wrong with me. Is this true or not?

Answers:

The symptoms would not appear so soon. It would take at least a week for most STD symptoms to appear, and many would take at least a month, or have no symptoms at all.

If you cleaned yourself up really thoroughly, you probably caused some sort of irritation. I mean, if you scrubbed your cock vigorously, or used soap on it, or even really hot water, that is enough to cause some irritation.
Also, if the guy did have any kind of disease or anything,just washing WON'T prevent you getting it.

I suspect that it IS all in your mind. If this sort of thing makes you freak out so much, maybe you shouldn't be doing it? I mean, just use a condom next time, ok. Also, as soon as you're able, get tested.



i think you are alright, you are too paranoid



Burning or tingling sensations, especially when urinating, can be a sign of several STDs, including chlamydia and gonorrhea. The symptoms of gonorrhea typically start 2-10 days after sex and the symptoms of chlamydia typically start 7-21 days after sex. In your case, it seems less likely that it would be either of these, given how quickly you developed this sensation.

It may just be sensitive from your washing, or nervousness from your concern about sexual health.

If you remain concerned, a STD checkup may help relieve your worry. Most towns and cities have public health clinics or STD clinics that offer free or low-cost STD checks. A good place to start looking may be your county health department or local Planned Parenthood.

Good luck!
