Very Worried!
Posted: 12-05-06 21:09pm

Ok, right now, I have no one to turn to, for the moment. I grew up as a loner, kind of homeschooled and such, never had much contact with girls so we left socially awkward, yes, big deal, this isn't the problem i'm facing. I was still a virgin at twenty.

I was always looking at porn and reading erotica, the usual from what I understand. Masturbating once a day really with some days of none or periods of none due to family being around for the holidays as well as some days where I woke up with wood and would crank one out and then would be up late enough that night to want to do such a second time. Big deal, right?

So, I guess, what I am getting at is , I was kind of desperate. I had never gotten head. Always hear about people with their girl friends and how much of a loser someone is if they don't have a girl friend, all that. I suppose you may have an idea where this is going, and yes, its not good.

I was in the city about a month ago, on my own. I have a car, I am an adult. I met a girl who seemed rather slutty, she wanted to give me head and was sort of leading the way, I normally medical question things up with girls so I was kind of like thank god finaly!

I wasn't thinking. She assured me she was 'clean', but, I have no way of knowing. She was getting annoyed that I was worried about condoms and such, but, said she would just give me head, and, oral has like "no chance of passing on anything anyways". I was hormonally thinking. Let my dick and fantasies take me about.

Five minutes in, she changes her mind. She is annoyed with me that I am not "quick", I tell her it takes me a while when I masterbate and such, and, she is suddenly disinterested in the activity (what ever, no blow to my self esteem). I don't really care about it because I didn't really want to be in this situation with her, the sheer thought of stds was making me want to stop asap anyways.

I never saw her again. This was, well before thanks giving. Maybe the final day in october? 30 days ago? Ish?

Everything was fine. I went home, washed my dick off asap. Slammed my head against a wall wishing i'd never done that. And got a bit worried but forgot about it in a day or two.

Time went by. Things were normal. No worries. I jerked off. I watched tv. Everything was fine.

About, 2 weeks ago, I felt, a sudden wave of panic. Impossible to describe really, it is like a "feeling' of fear, not in my head, not a fear so to say, but, I felt it in my lower body and in my genitals and in my whole body. It flashed through me a few times and I began thinking maybe I was having a panic attack? Who knows!

It stopped, it happened again a few days later, and then a few days after that. Now, it is happening all the time, but, the feeling is limited to my groin area! It was at this point that I began to seriously consider maybe I have contracted an std from this female. Two days ago, I woke up, and from the time I woke up till the time I went to bed my balls and the inner shaft of my penis have had this tingly fear-like feeling in them. It scares the medical question out of me. I have no idea what it is.

The feeling sometimes shifts, to where ever I think. It may be stress related, i've tried not thinking about it, and I cannot tell if taht works or if I am just zoning out of my senses completely. The second I think "aha! It has gone away!" I feel it again much worse than before.

There is no pain. No pain at all. No discharges. No itching. No burning. No warts. None of that. It is just this feeling in my testicles that runs up and down then stays in one spot and then moves around again.

My god. It scares the medical question out of me. I didn't even want to be there! I don't even know who she was!

Today, it has happened all day long. No breaks. Not one. I feel very very very stressed. My hands are even shaking I am so worried about it. I don't want to tell my mother who I live with that I think I have contracted an std or something!..... what!!!

Today I began researching, the second I typed in genital tingling about five million pages on herpes popped up. My god! I don't want to read any more! It makes me more nervous, more stressed! Makes me think of it even more!

Herpes seems to be all about warts and discharges and pain, this isn't pain. So, I sort of keep myself assured that "it can't be herpes.... It can't be...."

i look for other things, I find some bacteria that is curable named "ngu" -- it sounds like what i'm having, I mean, I have this terrible fear tingle running up and down my dick and body... Though, it could have been stress to? Can anyone here verify information on ngu to see if it applies? I tell myself -- like herpes, ngu relies on discharges and pain and irritation and burning when pissing, I only have one symptom really!

I also found chlamydia which is the same as ngu but only a virus I support, also curable. This one scares the caca out of me but I tell myself again and again -- its only tingling! Nothing else! These symptoms don't apply to me!!!!!!!

Still worried, not satisfied with my self assurances, i've contacted an std hotline for my local area and scheduled a free-test for thursday morning. God. It seems like it will be years before thursday.... On top of that, they've informed me that it will take one week to get the results back... One week!!!!!!! My god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really, what the medical question! I am going to get my doing it dick removed when this is over, std or no std! I am so doing it worried about this. The stress. I cannot think! I cannot think I cannot think I cannot think! I even threw up today after making the phonecalls and scheduling the appointments.

I tried sleeping after being awake for 18 hours, no cigar. I end up repositioning myself trying to "not think about it" the second I succeed I say 'ahaah! Its gone! I can relax!" and then a wave of the tingles hits me.... My god. I am so scared. I do not want to be some gross disgusting filthy doing it piece of caca with some doing it gross virus that never goes away.

Of all of the ones i've read about, two are curable, one is not. That gives me... Some hope... It also has a slim chance of being stress. Which, I doubt... I am doing it scared.

It feels like guilt. It feels like fear. But it also tingles.

Lastly.... If it makes any difference... I woke up this morning without the tingles. A few horus went by, I was so relieved, I started surfing the web and jacked off, then, imidiately after, it made me think of yesterday and all the other days, I began worrying about it, then, they started up and went on and on and on. I'm trying to sleep right now, can't, so I came on here and found this forum.

This won't effect my decision to go get tested. I am getting tested, trust me, I don't care what the medical question you say, I just want to hear what you think.

Doesn't your city have a free clinic of some kind? It could be a mental thing, maybe. I don't know. But if there is a free clinic or maybe even the state health department, they will help you with counseling.

I don't mean just the kind of free clinics for birth control/ std meds .. There are many that help with every type of medical necessity.

You do need to see a doctor though, preferably your family physician, but if that can't happen then you need to see someone.

Or lie and tell your parents that you think you have a bladder infection or something and go see a doctor... I doubt that your parents will come in the exam room with you, so they'll only see the bill and that doesn't include details.

First let's get somethings straight...

You did not have sexual contact with her genitals?

The only sexual contact was your penis and her mouth?

Ok so now we have ruled out the probability of most sexual transmtted diseases.
There is a greater likely hood of you giving her a disease in this instance as she is the one in contact with your sexual fluids.
But let's assume your cleanness.

There is a remote (and I mean remote) chance of passing on hiv, but you would have needed to take on a substantial amount of her saliva or blood.
The greatest possibility of this would be if she had cuts in her mouth that were bleeding and she bit your penis allowing her blood to pass into yours.
(see - very remote - you'd have noticed if she bit you and you'd have mentioned it).
Also hiv isn't commonly indicated by "tingling genitals".

Ok so lets look at the next possibility.
Herpes.
For her to give you herpes she would have had to have oral herpes (remember the only contact was your penis to her mouth). Did she have any visible cold sores on her lips?

Add to that, that herpes typically breaks out within 21 days of infection.
Symptoms of herpes are blisters on the head of the penis/foreskin and possibily the shaft (they can spread though the genital area) and trust me you would notice these little sore blisters.

So, I conclude that in all likelyhood you are suffering from guilt, panic, anxiety, type effects.

To be sure you can go to your nearest gu clinic (look in the phonebook) or similar (ring your local hospital and ask where the nearest one is).
You should be able to go anonymously. You don't have to tell your parents (thought you said you were an adult??? Were a virgin at 20 implies you are over 20???)

and get tested for sexual diseases to put your mind at ease.
Request that you be tested for hiv, hsv (herpes simplex virus) and hpv (human papiloma virus - genital warts) as well as chlamidya, gonnorhea, etc.

Thank you so much for the replies even if they don't clear things up. The only contact I had with her, or anyone, in my entire life was her mouth on my dick. I am twenty years old, still a virgin, have only gotten head, from her, one time, about a month ago. The reason I would likely talk to my parents is because I am not financially independant -- I am starting to goto college just now, and, I live with them. My mother is a nurse for labor and delivery.

I cannot be sure, but, she went on for about five to ten minutes with no sign of me cumming soon, so she ended it. After very introspective analysis, i've found the feeling of discomfort / panic / tingle is almost exclusively in the following areas: right testicle, right vast deferens, right kidney, right-side of penile shaft, and the bladder. I feel a, "wavey" feeling of discomfert that focuses on one area and then shifts around to another always staying within the areas I listed above. I can palpate my lower abdomen and feel the different parts of either side, one side feels perfectlly normal, responds to my touch perfectly normal, the other has this "discomfort"... All of this is internal, none of it is on the skin.

When this is over, if this ever ends, if I am cured, if it goes away, if it is some virus that I will have forever, I am going to be abstinant for the rest of my life. I do not need a partner. I do not need "someone". I've been alone all my life and am seeking a career that promotes a loner lifestyle. This has so far been the scarriest event in my life. Even if this is some how not an std and just a urinary tract infection -- simply reading these forums and all the internet material on stds has scared the caca out of me!

Mentally, I feel so disgusting. I feel nervous. I feel scared. I am worried. I feel guilty. It is like a very very strong and bad guilt. It makes me hate myself. Why would I be so stupid? Why would I act on hormonal thinking and not use my doing it brain? I doing it do not even care for sex, I consider myself asexual but capable of pleasure, I just wanted to see what it was like to be blown and she was practically forcing the offer on me!

I am such a healthy person in real life. Maybe not socially. I am pursueing a career as a male nurse, I eat only foods recommended by the american heart association becuase there is a history of bad hearts in my family, I exercise in a systematic way rather than a contact sport or anything prone to injury. I read alot of books. I love to read. I normally feel as if people in a social situation are only comfortable with me if I "act" dumb rather than try to engage in intellectual conversations. This makes me feel as if i'm an intelligent and healthy well thought out being.

This feeling, this event, this is the most disturbing, most disgusting thing i've ever experienced. These past three days have me almost pulling my hair out. I just want it to be over! I want it to be done with!

I can't help but think everyone reading this thinks I am a disgusting horrible person. I hate myself right now. I think she may have even done this deliberately, she practically did not allow me to say no, and, I am a male, so, if I am hormonally thinking then my will power is almost non existent. I hate my dick, but, I hate this feeling more!

i tried to take a picture and edit it. The areas spraypainted in lime green are the areas that I feel this in. I tried to draw in a set of ribs and hips and an outline of the penis so you know exactly what is what and where it is. I then outlined the "generally effected regions" in a dark green.

Ok viruses do not affect only one side of the body.

It's possible that you (coincidentally) have a kidney infection on the right hand side or something, but without being the doctor that examines you there is no way for anyone to say 100%.

I think your risk of any sexual disease is negligable to be honest. And that this is more psychological based on your sexual fears and anxiety.

Go to your doctor for a general health check, just in case it is a kidney infection or something like that, a then you can tell the doctor at the time you have fears of an std (i really don't think this is your case though), your doctor can not tell your parents anything without your consent - if that's what your fear is.

I'm not on anyone's health insurance at the moment. This is why i'd have to tell my parents. The idea is, since I am not yet a full time student (have only just taken placement testing and such and am awaiting orientation) that I am not legally on their health insurance.

About 4 months ago I dislocated my ankle and ripped three tendons -- also on my right side coincidentally (damn that sides luck!). Instead of going for a checkup or going to a doctor, I had my ankle inspected by my brother who is a do and my sister who is a phd and then my mother who is an rn -- they set me up with pain killers and a wrap as well as all the proper instructions and information for how long not to walk on it and such. The reason we didn't just goto a doctor was because I didn't have health coverage and the family more or less knows the drill for tehse procedures anyways. At present, i've been trying to push for a doctors apointment regardless of costs and saying I will pay them while I go to school because the tendons are taking a long time to heal and such is painful even when doing something as simple as just pushing the gas pedal.


I was so fed up with this moments ago that I decided to just explain the story to her. She has gotten me a prescription of nitrofurantoin-macro antibiotics, she thinks it is a bacterial "urinary tract infection" -- although, there is no problem when urinating, there is no burning sensation when I pee and this feeling isn't really one where I feel I must urinate at all times, so, I am not comforted nor convinced by this pill alone.

I scheduled a test for stds for tomorrow morning at 830 am. I intend to go anyways. Best case scenario they simply tell me I have nothing wrong and that it is probably a uti as well -- and then I have peace at mind.

If it turns out to be nothing, i, am still never ever touching another human being again. I will never forgive myself for not running for the hills. Reading all the material online when you try to self-diagnose has made me absolutely despise the idea of sex in its entirety. Sorry folks! My hand is good enough! Reading the stories people have posted also disturbs me. I don't want kids! I don't want diseases! I don't want sex!

Please god. Forgive me. Please please please please please. Let this just be a curable bacteria. Please let this pill cure it. Please make me shrug and laugh at this a month from now. Please please please. I love my life. I love the future I am working towards. Please god. Please not me. Please no one.

Kia b, when this is over, when I find out what it is or if its cured or if its gone, regardless of what the outcome, you've at least given me feedback. Made my day a little bit easier.


If I was a millionaire i'd buy you a house right now. Granted, you cannot say nice things to everyones situation, some people have bad situations, some worse than others, but, what ever!


I am not a bad person. I am going to be a travel nurse and be helping people twenty four hours a day. I am not just some random guy that screwed a million girls and has a list of phonecalls to make.

You've made a difference, even if it hasn't changed my problem. Thanks.

You are imagining this. The syptoms are pseudo symptoms. You do not have an std. You are freaking yourself out.

Been there done that. I know your feeling. Your panic is causing the symptoms.

Believe me or the doctor. Both are going to tell you the same thing.

no. I had been experiencing some of these symptoms for just quick flashes and then they became more and more constant until it became four days on going of non stop wavy tingly feeling between right kidney, bladder, and right testicle.

The feeling itself was real, but, it was causing other pseudo side effects such as forcing me to go into panic and be searching for answers. I've seen other people with these same exact symptoms posting on forums just like this one.

After 24 hours on the antibiotics, my right kidney and bladder are sore, my testicle and shaft are still "slightly' feeling the feeling. It is clear to me. I can feel it. I know it is there. However, the feeling has retreated from my kidney / bladder, which, is a sign that the antibiotics are doing at least, something.

The picture I posted shows almost exactly how and where I was feeling it. The idea of it being a green tingle seems to be on par with it exactly.

Not to sound mean at all. But in all honesty, you sound like you're freaking out about nothing. You did something you probably shouldn't have and now you're [imagining] that you're going to have to face the consequences about it. You're tricking yourself into believing that you've got something when in actuality everything is probably normal. The symptoms you're describing just don't sound like valid std symptoms. You should try to relax yourself & stop the constant worry about what's "going on." the stress you are putting on yourself is only going to make you feel even more paranoid right now. Chill out.

Wow, you really are out of line, the two of you. Granted, i'd love nothing more than to believe it is stress and fear related -- but it isn't. It is a bacterial infection that has spread to the bladder, kidney, tasticle, and urinary tract. There wasn't bleeding, but, there doesn't have to be.


The reason I was concerned that is was an std was because the above events did occur -- and, this may have very well been the cause of it even still.


You aren't experts, and, even if you are, don't you dare tell me I am imagining things. I have gone through a little bit of hell with this because the first symptom I googled was "genital tingling" -- go try that, see what the results consist of. I've never had problems of any sort in my nether regions, having something wrong with a testicle or shaft that results in ed and an unexplainable recurrent "tingle" was frightening the hell out of me.


Even worse, trying to self diagnose via the internet was coming up with all sorts of disturbing possibilities. Hundreds of forums where people explain my exact feeling being told they'll likely see bumps in a few days and that they're screwed for life. Not a good experience!

But, the fact is, though it may be on its way out, or may not be, (it seems to have dampened), I still feel it in the shaft though not so much the testicle. Any more which was the epicenter earlier on.

The past two days were characterized by me puking anything I attempted to eat, this is the first day that i've swallowed something other than water and had it not come back up.

Say what you like, I don't think I was imagining things.

Epoh,
you came here asking for answers from regular, everyday people. We gave you our educated guesses, but we two know that we don't have a phd.



If you want an answer for certain, you should go and see a licensed physician.



Don't act as if you are too good for a mental issue. And most importantly, don't be so closed minded as to not listen to the advice you asked for yourself.



Even if it is a psychological issue, you aren't "imagining" things. The pain is very real, but it is caused by another source.

On to the throwing up, that is more evidence to support our hypothesis. A urinary tract infection would not cause tingling of genitalia all the time, only while urinating. Also, throwing up all the time shows how stressful you are. You are just finally calming down.

You sound like a very high strung person, so just do what you like to do for the next days and take it easy. You'll get through this fine if you just put it in the back of your mind.

About your idea: if what you say is true, you have decided that you have a urinary tract infection (this includes anything from the kidneys to the bladder). Vomiting is a symptom of this, but heres the issue with it: you aren't having any dysuria, it is only an ambient pain. Nor do you have hematuria, bloody urine. Sure some of these are asymptomatic, but you are experiencing some pain that is unclassified. Check to see if any area below your naval is tender/painful to the touch.

There was bits of blood in my vomit, but, such is over now.

I was able to cook up some eggs and such yesterday and have them go down. Then ate some cereal. Then made some soup. First three meals in three days.

Yesterday morning and onward, I had virtually no problems with my kidney, only a slightly sore bladder, sore testicle, and still a "dampened" tingling right-shaft. Continueing to take the medications and such, even the shaft began to dampen, though, not completely.

By the end of the night, I had, out of no where, a hard as a rock erection, which, was the first sign of life below the belt in over a week! I was so relieved. This whole event has caused it to more or less retreat-into-the-body, sort of like a turtle head. Now, it was out! Finaly! A sign that such was working.

This morning I woke up, my dick is working, thank god, but, as with the bladder and dick yesterday, the shaft now remains sore and dare I say it the feeling hasn't fully fled from the shaft, yet.

As such, I am able to eat. I have an appetite again and haven't been puking what I eat. Granted, yes, I want peoples opinions, but, if they are simply going to doubt my sanity they can keep them to themself becuase telling me i'm crazy doesn't get me anywhere.
