Hi, i recently had a urethral swab done for STD tests after a thrush infection. It came back that i had an NSU, which surprised me, and prescribed 1g Azithromycin. About 8 hours-1 day after having this i noticed a persistent tingling feeling inside my urethra. No burning, discharge, itching etc. This has continued for 4 days. I saw my local doctor and she prescribed medication for uti but explained it might be a herpes infection. It has been 7 days since my last sexual experience and have had no other symptoms, lesions or blisters or tingling of legs/back. How likely is it that i have contracted herpes if it is just tingling alone? My brother, in med school at moment, thought it might just be mechanical damage from the swab affecting my urethra. How many of you with HSV suffer from tingling inside the urethra/penis?
Many thanks
Paul
