Please help to find the cause. Maybe it's some virus related or some rare bacteria which is not being cultured? Like h pylori, etc.? It lasts more that two moths already.

- no STDs found from swab test

- urethral fluid shows inflammation

- cultured few times which showed some random bacteria (first time enterococcus faecalis, second time staphylococcus mrsa) with minor growth. I assume it needs confirmation before taking any treatment.

- never had a discharge

- no urge to pee

- pain in groin area, lymph nodes not swollen, used to feel burning sensation

- sensitive skin, seems like nerve irritation, mostly in groin area, but sometimes all body gets irritated

- random pelvic pains, left and right side

- random tingling penis tip and tingling/itching anus

- something uncomfortable inside urethra, dark red (bluish) spots visible inside urethra

- hsv1 positive, cmv positive. Never had a lesion.

- had some fever symptoms, fatigue, sore throat and chills. They seem to fade away, only fatigue left and all the symptoms mentioned above.

meds tried, which didn't provide any relief:

- 3 pills of Azithromycin

- 10 day course of Doxycycline

- 7 days Waltrex 1g/day

I add some photos so maybe someone has a clue what on earth can cause this
