I recently had some burning upon urination
and some white discharge from my penis. I
am in a monogamous relationship, but I
figured I better get it checked out. The
doctor ran tests for chlamydia and
gonnorhea, but they came back negative,
and he said I have a urethral infection --
possibly sexually transmitted -- called
"nongonococcal urethritis" he has given me
some antibiotics. I'm not sure how to
approach the subject with my partner,
since she should probably be treated too.
The only thing I can think of, besides the
unthinkable :( , is that a week or so ago
we went to a "natural" hot spring cut into
the side of a mountain in the wilderness.
There was a lot of scum on the rocks, and
the temperature was pretty warm -- is
there a chance that I could have gotten a
bacterial infection in that pool? It is
odd that the symptoms occured about 3 or 4
days after we returned from our little
trip.
I'm confused, and I don't want to make any
unfounded accusations. Can someone give
me some feedback?
