Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm in great need of advice and don't have
many resources. I am 23 years old and early last month received my first
chlamydia swab test. The test was brief, extremely painful but I was happy
to just have it over with (after unsuccessfully advocating at length to my
health insurance for a urinalysis). However, I returned home that day to
discover I can no longer urinate without an excruciating stinging/burning
pain both during and after I pee. The nurse had not warned me that I may
experience this and I would never have agreed if she did. No visible
bleeding too place but it seemed my urethral tissue may have been ruptured.

By the next morning the painful urination had passed but fearing recurring
pains and a permanent loss of sexual sensitivity (and the lifelong regret of
allowing that to happen to me) I launched myself into a 40 day period of
abstinence from sex/masturbation and a 10 day period of the most healthy,
nutritious, unseasoned diet possible hoping to allow proper healing. In the
following weeks I would experience awkward, internal, mildly painful
sensations everyday, seemingly at random.

I recently ended the period of abstention and had sex for the first time
since the incident with the nurse. I cannot comment on a perceived loss of
sensation (as this may have been due to the accumulated anxiety) but the
only pain I felt during the act was brief, mild and very much like what I
had experienced over the last 40 days. However, it wasn't until after sex
that I began to feel increased pains; now I am experiencing persistent,
aching/burning, external sensations. I've examined myself closely and can
see the physical damage from the swab test; the lower, right side of my
meatus is folded inward, with a small crease in the tissue extending
diagonally (to the right) from the lower tip of the opening. This crease
seems painful to the touch, but the whole area hurts.

What would promote the best possible healing of the tissue? Would
anti-inflammatory (either oral or topical) help or is the inflammation a
necessary part of the tissue repair/reconstruction process? Would Neosporin
help? Would any of these solutions impair my long-term sexual sensitivity?
I'm scared the degree of pain I'm feeling now is going to stimulate the
formation of scar-tissue that would do just that. I am also fearful the pain
after sex is a yeast infection picked up by the healing, vulnerable tissue
(we had protected vaginal but unprotected oral sex). But before I consider
that possibility, I'd first like to examine the best approaches for healing
the tissue and preserving sensitivity of the nerve endings. Thanks
everybody, any help is most deeply appreciated.
