I'm really worried because I've been having issues with frequent urination and my testes are really painful. I recently had some urine culture tests done, and they came back negative. Could it still be possible that I have chlamydia, even though the test didn't show anything? I'm trying to understand what else could be causing these symptoms.

Yes, it is possible to have chlamydia even if your urine culture test is negative. Chlamydia is often diagnosed through a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or a DNA probe test rather than a urine culture. Since you are experiencing symptoms such as frequent urination and testicular pain, it is advisable to get tested specifically for chlamydia using a NAAT or DNA probe test. If diagnosed with chlamydia, the treatment involves a course of antibiotics such as Azithromycin or Doxycycline, as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
