Hello,
I got drunk one night 2 and a half years ago and stupidly had unprotected sex.
I noticed a bit of a burning sensation in my penis shortly after and clear discharge at the tip of my penis the next day.
I did an at home std test which came back negative, but the symptoms continued. I've also visited a sexual health clinic a few months back to validate the at home test, but they also came back saying I was all clear.
About a year ago then developed hip pain, burning eyes and ankle pain. I saw a rheumatologist and he diagnosed me with reactive arthritis.
Here is a list of all my symptoms and all the tests and specialist I have seen... I'm getting desperate now as I feel like I'm getting nowhere with the constant visits to the Drs :
For the past 2.5 years:
Discomfort when passing urine (after sex, can last for a few days)
Unusual smelling urine
Fishy smell around penis even after washing
Burning pain after ejaculation
Instances of blood in semen
Have noticed clear discharge at tip of penis
Frequent upset stomach
Tiredness
Frequent sore throats
For around a year:
Hip pain
Eyes can become red and painful
Ankle pain
Cracking joints
Symptoms over the past few months:
Tingling in arms and legs (frequent pins and needles)
Hip pain on the left side has significantly reduced.
Intense hip pain on right side has developed.
Tests I’ve had:
Seen rheumatologist - diagnosed with reactive arthritis (the cause for this has never been diagnosed)
Seen Ophthalmologists - told I had dry eyes and to use drops.
Seen a neurologist and had an MRI + CT scan: came back clear with no further action
Had nerve conduction study: all normal
Had an STD check : told all clear
Numerous blood / urine and stool tests : low infection markers. Told low vitamin d levels, been taking supplements.
Had prostate examination. Told all fine.
Had an ultrasound of kidneys and bladder: all clear

blood in the urine is not norm there should b no blood there at all i think see wat they say when u go to this appointment blood in the urine is either from a urinary tract infection ..kidney infection or stones etc it could be a problem with the prostrate or it could be coming from the urethra itself

sorry thought it said blood in urine it states seamen so ijnore that last comment there are a few things that cause it to occur one being stds Prostate(the gland that produces the fluid part of semen)
Urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen from the penis)
Epididymis and vas deferens (tiny tube-like structures where sperm mature before ejaculation)
and Seminal vesicles there the possible places were blood mabe coming

small stones can occur is the seminal vesicles ....inflammation of the prostrate gland but u state u had that checked ....inflammation of the epididymis the tubes that store sperm inflammation of the urethra etc can all cause blood to appear in seamen most causes are stds but theres a few other things that can cause it given u have reactive arthritis to and discharge smelly urine it sound like an std but i dont understand how it could not be detected after 5 tests a pcr urine test is the most reliable test for chlamydia if u had a swab it may not be very reliable as bacteria can die it dosnt live long outside the body

reactive arthritis occurs when an infection somewhere in the body goes untreated its your bodys response to it stds are a cause and so are some food related bacteria

how about swabs from Urethra ?
did take take them at the time your symptoms started?
johnfigs19xx roman35852

my symptoms started 9 years ago and i just recently got tested mainly because i was afraid , but no swab of urethra ever

Your disease could have become chronic and bacteria dormant & undetected by tests after such a long time.
The sooner you get tested, the better and more reliable results you get.
I think you can still try swab of urethra for chlamydia at least.
