HSV 1 causes urethritis?

[RedGun93]

Hi everyone - I have been diagnosed with HSV 1 for almost a year already. My most recent outbreak's symptoms mirror those of urethritis: a little bit of pain during urination, penile discharge (no smell, no color, almost like pre cum), lower abdominal pain, tingling feeling after urination. I have seen a doctor and he said it's just UTI and he didn't think I should do any test. Can HSV 1 cause those? Should I get tested for chlamydia and/or gonorrhea?

Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea wouldn't harm. However, I believe that what you're describing is typical of herpes simplex except may be the discharge which can happen but is less common. Are you currently sexually active? If yes then definitely check. Are you having any other symptoms?
