Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostatitis / November 2005Simple Chlamydia Testing Question
Ok, if I have a Chlamydia or Gonorrhea infection in my prostate, epididymis or testicles, will a DNA prob test on a urethral swap detect these infections? How about on a semen sample? I've been fighting (and losing) a battle with testicle pain for 18 months. I've been tested 3 times, 2 with urethral swap and the other on a semen sample and all have come back negative. Semen and several urine cultures have also been negative. In all likelyhood you don't have a STD if you test negative, especially if you've been on antibiotics such as Doxycycline, Cipro and Zithromax (which I assume you have). Perhaps your prostate is inflammed from a prior infection. Try a different urologist (not that they usually help). I'm currently on my 4th uro and probably will start looking for a new one. My last visit he handed me a script for 5 months of Avelox and said "see you in the spring". > I'm currently on my 4th uro and probably will start looking for a new > one.

Anyone recommend a cystoscopy, or and kind of further testing, or what...Pete > Ok, if I have a Chlamydia or Gonorrhea infection in my prostate, > epididymis or testicles, will a DNA prob test on a urethral swap detect [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > and all have come back negative.
