I understand this is a prostatitis sub, but given how the two are linked I figured I'd post here.

Any advice healing post urethritis inflammation?

I never tested positive to any bacteria, this all stemmed from an unprotected sexual encounter on may 16th, noticed first symptoms (discharge, pain, acute inflammation) on may 21st, the day my life changed for what feels like will be forever at this point.

Whilst the discharging and urinary frequency has stopped, my glans has distinct white patches/splotches and feint brown dots that seems like swolen glans that do not itch, the meatus is inflamed (dark glans colour/redness that fluctuates, fish/botox lip opening) but not bright red or as bad as it was first pre treatment (1g azith, 14 days 100mg doxy)

Even light/quick masturbation on the very few times I have tried, results in the redness temporarily flaring for an hour or two, and i feel tightness/pinching in the urethral tube right on climax with lingering pain for an hour or so after followed by worsened pelvic feelings and general discomfort/awareness, i could not imagine what actual sex would do to it and how i would even explain this to a partner without scaring them off, not that I'm in a rush to engage in sexual activity after this nightmare anyway but the point is, im still not okay and my function is far from normal..

If anyone in a similar position who eventually recovered can share their story, wisdom or any advice whatsoever and maybe give me some hope, it would be greatly appreciated.

Next Monday, I have an appointment with a sexual health clinic that saw me 3 weeks ago that told me "give it two weeks you'll be back to nornal, if not, call us" and am hoping i can form a good plan moving forward, it will also be 3 weeks since my last antibiotic test so im in a good testing window now and plan to test for everything they possibly can just to rule out residual infection, the person I had that fateful encounter with is also testing and is now supporting me through this which i greatly appreciate, she gets results tomorrow from her urine and swab tests, we're both pretty nervous however she is completely asymptomatic.

My doctor asked me to give a urine sample for bacterial infection after a prostate massage. Should I collect the initial urine (first part of the stream) or a midstream urine sample after the massage?

If you've had this test done or know the standard procedure, I'd appreciate your advice.
