Frequent Urination, Dry, Flaky Penis Shaft And Scrotum, Diarrhea. Had Intercourse, Used Condom. Cause?

About two and a half months ago I had sexual intercourse with a woman who said she has been tested properly for STDs and has never had any. We used a condom, of course, but for some reason within the next three days I started to develop some strange symptoms. First off, I began to urinate frequently. The skin on my penis shaft and scrotum was also dry and flakey. I had fatigue, diarrhea, and chills for the next week. No fever or anything. I went to the doctor and was tested for herpes--which I tested negative for. Within a week, the chills and fatigue left but the skin on my penis stayed dry for two more months. Any idea what my problem was? I feel absolutely fine but still worry it might be something else.

Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that you had a urinary tract infection which healed over time or an anxiety related fear psychosis when you had sexual intercourse with this woman who had been tested properly and was negative. I hope you do not repeat this in the future and my answer helps relieve your anxiety.

Take care and have a lovely day!
