Common Questions and Answers about Acyclovir for uti

Thank you very much grace!
I have been sick for 1+ week with a terrible UTI and vaginal yeast infection. I was seen last week and given oral antibiotics and oral yeast infection meds (one dose). On Thursday, I ended up at the ER because of the pain associated with urination. It felt like someone had a razor blade on my vuvla when I went to the bathroom. The ER doc changes my antibiotic and gave me vaginal cream to use for 7 days. As of yesterday, I still have extreme pain when I would pee.
When I returned home, the paranoid bug took hold and I went to the doc and asked for acyclovir, which she gave me. At the time, I had no symptoms.
Two days later, I started getting UTI-type symptoms (irritated urethra, increased urge to pee, etc.). After two days of that, I went to the doctor again, who said it was possible that since she is likely a carrier, I may have contracted it and the pills meant I only got the urethritis, but no lesions.
I took IgG and IgM test about 10 days later and both were negative. I was also prescribed acyclovir 400mg in case of out break which I took for few days, but no difference in tingling, so I stopped taking it. I also have a slight lower back pain. Is it possible to have 3 weeks of tingling and no visible sores? Can Acyclovir stop the first outbreak? AS I mentioned it comes and goes and It is not always at the same spot. I kindly appreciate your response.
I have been on the meds since then and pretty much the symptoms are coming and going like they have been for a while before I saw my GYN but it seems like the UTI symptoms are lessening a bit more now. If the meds are helping with the pain does that confirm Herpes? Because I'm reeeeeeally praying thats not what it is...but I think I'm just in denial because the meds seem to be helping a bit. But could it just be me?
I am 52 , always had an active sex life both masturbating and normal married sex life.
A few years ago I began having problems with ED, pehaps due to high cholesterol but I am able to improve that with ED pill and I don't always need them especailly for masturbation. Lately I have been having a lot of problems climaxing.. I stay hard enough but I just can't get the equipment to pop. I have also had some uti type feelings and some discomfort at the base of my testes (prostate?
m very unsure if I should continue to do blood work to figure out type or be content with my 14 week results. Please help me and the meds the doctor gave me (acyclovir) for my initial outbreak did not help what else can I take. I am having a re occurrence but my bumps do not turn in to lesions they itch and then go away in about 3 to 5 days and return. What should I be doing differently to stop the cycle.
I had oral sex, after few weeks I woke with numb hands and feet next day I got genital sores and uti..After few days I was diagnosed with herpes simplex virus type 1..I was medicated with acyclovir tablets even after the course body ache joint pain sore throat left side groin pain night chills persists..I doubted it could be hiv symptoms and got tested at 4 weeks and 6-5 week result was negative...
But i did find out that i have Herpes zoster antibodies ( i had Acyclovir for a week and it came down to 6 - normal levels ).. Normal TsH levels, normal ESR levels ( 12)..
Low ferretin levels, low Vitamin D levels - we had iron & cholocalciferol medications, but did not seems to help.
I never had any other symptoms like swollen lymph glands, or fever or nausea or dizziness or hospitalised etc..
Main problem: Vaginal itching of 4 weeks duration following Acyclovir treatment of a positive Herpes (HSV) culture test. Tests for UTI, Yeast, and other STD's are negative or within normal limits.
History:
Approximately 3 weeks following unprotected intercourse with a new partner, I developed an ulcerated lesion on my labia minora and another in the vestibule with no other symptoms.
You are not in mourning for anything except your unprotected sex life ...... for people who get HSV2 it is like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted and have to now do what we should have done in the first place and that is ....played safe and protected ourselves .....
We are all in charge of what we are prepared to risk and for all of us with HSV2 we took the risk of unprotected sex and are now paying the price for that so we have no one to blame but ourselves ...
The 1st doctor did a visual test and prescribed acyclovir 800mg 3x a day for 7 days. I had an igg test done in Jan 2018 and the doctor called and said that the test showed that I had been exposed to hsv1&2.
Pretty mild outbreak with one lesion. A week dose of acyclovir and it was gone! No further troubles over the next 12 months.. July 2016 slept with a new partner - constant burning, coldness, numbness, leaking after urination and ejaculation.. Kinda like prodrone symptoms but without the actual outbreak.. This has been going on for four months now.
one day i went to go check the pills she gave me because i was on birth control and wanted to know if it would affect it so i looked up the name acyclovir to find out it was for the herpes simplex virus....i freaked out and called and asked them why they gave me a pill for herpes if i didn't have that and the nurse on the phone told me that its for more than one thing and that its best not to google things cause it give me false indications.....
You get much better relief from ob's by taking acyclovir 2x/day every single day. You can do this for under $20/month in the US even if you don't have insurance.
Lysine doesn't help to heal ob's faster. It also doesn't suppress the virus.
For acyclovir when you first start feeling an ob about to start, take either 400mg 3x/day for 5 days or 800mg 2x/day for 2 days. Both speed healing at the same rate.
Grace I would like to know if caffeine is a trigger to a herpes outbreak. The reason why is because I have been drinking coffee for a while I usually don't I had three outbreaks last month. However I have been off acyclovir for a 13 months. I had HSV2 for 4 years and 5 months now my OBGYN said that I shouldn't be experiencing that many outbreaks being that I have had the virus for some time she's saying that is too many outbreaks.
Hi all. I have had herpes 2 in my genitals for two years now and my girlfriend recently went to the gynecologist and asked about risks associated with having sex with me, etc. She mentioned that I experience between 8 and 10 outbreaks per year and her gynecologist suggested that I may have another underlying condition, infection perhaps that results in so many outbreaks. Last month a started taking 800mg of acyclovir daily to see if that would reduce my outbreaks and shedding.
finally after 3 or 4 visits (and testing for Gonereah and claymidia that was negative) they found tric in late December I finally had about 10 days of relief Since then I will get pain quite often like a burning or like my pants are irratating me and redness, it got real bad again and I went to the doc and asked them to see if the tric was back and he did a wet prep but saw nothing, he said he could see how red I was and usually when someone comes in like that they think of contact and wanted t
i started taking acyclovir a few days ago for the first time for a mild cold sore breakout. 2 days after i started, the cold sores got more intense, and 2 new huge cold sores came up out of nowhere. i have 3 more days left of the medication, and i'm going to keep taking it, but what should i do? these cold sores are not going away, and it seems like its getting worse! so done with these friggin things...
I've been having unprotected sex with a guy friend of mine, that I've known for little over a year now. We've only been doing things for about a month or so. He said he positive he's clean, he wasn't tested not long ago. So I'm wondering if I could of been misdiagnosed. Here's how the symptoms went.
Day 1: Slight irritation & itching in vagina & anus openings.
Day 2: Itching was replaced with pain in both areas.
I was diagnosed with herpes (no type) on November 4th I had a tiny lesion on my lower labia majora I went in the next day I had a UTI at the time that I was taking medication for and I also have a history of bacterial vaginitis and yeast infections. My doctor swabbed it prescribed me 10 day acyclovir 3x a day. She also did blood testing which was negative for any antibodys I know this is common when an infection is new the next day my sore was completely gone.
