Hello! I had unprotected intercourse with a woman over 4 years ago who was not my normal partner. At the same time, I had unprotected anal sex with my partner. When I had the intercourse, I had the most intense erection I have ever had and felt some discomfort between my testicles and anus. Within 2 weeks of these acts I started with my symptoms, painful urination, discomfort in my penis, especially the tip. I was tested for STD's and found to be negative. I was put on several antibiotics for STD's and then on another one that was an inflamitory used for urinary infections. I was on the last one for about 1 year. I never did experience much releif. I now go through periods where I have no discomfort at all and some where I have a lot of discomfort especially near the tip of my penis and the area between my testicles and my anus. Since I never had any problems before, I feel that one of the sex acts must have caused my problems. Does anyone have any thoughts? Also, any ideas on how to make the discomfort go away?

It's usually a mistake, but understandable, to attempt to link pelvic pain to a particular partner or sexual activity. Chronic pelvic pain is a more complex problem. Even if the initiating event was related to something you did 4 years ago, other factors are now maintaining the pain cycle. Therefore look to the future, and investigate ways of overcoming the pain.

Most of us here would recommend the Stanford/Wise-Anderson Protocol and quercetin. There are some other ideas around here too. See also ucpps.men
