What Could Cause Recurred Blisters On Penis After Having Sex After Being Treated For Pus Cells In Urine?
Hi, my husband complained of having blisters on his penis after we have sex. So we went to a lab and they took urine samples and said they found pus cells and we were placed on antibiotics for a week. 3 days ago we had sex and this morning he has a blister again on his penis....what should we do?

Hi,
For a married man having genital ulcers, the most likely cause is that his wife is carrier of the organism and having asymptomatic infection, if his only sexual partner is his wife. You and your husband both should be tested for the typical bacteria causing genital ulcers chlamydia, and as well as PCR for herpes simplex virus and genital sectreations for fugal infections. Syphilis doesn't cause recurrent genital ulcers, so in my opinion it is not prudent going for syphilis testing.
