avelox
Then a couple weeks later, another round of Doxy, then Metrondinazole and azythromicin. I was then in port, got a digital rectal exam, (very painful) and was prescribed Avelox. I took it for 35 days, and things were well, more or less. Back in port, went to resupply on avelox, they didnt have it, doc put me on cipro/trinidazole combo. Now a week later and the pain is back in my urethra.
Could this be episodes of Herpetic urethritis?
MG is treated by a different set of drugs than the ones u used,its been pointed out above,azithromycin and avelox are 1st line drugs,youve been tested time and again for MG and neg,how long was it from initial infection to treatment using a drug that works?it takes time for an infection to enter the prostate.several months usually.oral meds are difficult to pierce the sheath that surrounds the prostate but there r ones that work.levofloxacine is one.
From that point she got better with exception of 2 yeast infections which she insists are normal and she does have frequently... and I did not...which leads me to the prostatitis again. But the timing of the prostatitis really has be snagged. On a side note...I have never had burning during urination except for after the urethral swab...ouch.
I was diagnosed with Chlamydia in April, was given Azythromycin and after a few days things felt clear. A month later i had similar symptoms, went back, tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. I was given a 10 day course of Doxycycline. still had symptoms after this so more doxy, metrodinazole was given. no true relief. I then went on avelox which seemed to help but my persciption ran out as I am at sea.
There seems to be only 1 antibiotic that works once it becomes prostatitis and that is Avelox also known as Moxifloxacin. Now if you happen to have them, even more, rarer form than you require Pristinamycin and it is not available in the united states but it is able to be received via the right channels from India if you know where to look.
Some cases may be inflammation without infection. Also, there is overlap between NGU and prostatitis -- and this may still be primarily a prostate problem, entirely unrelated to STD.
Your doctors are following the standard approach, i.e. re-treat with doxycycline, especially some time has passed since your previous episode (e.g. several weeks or more).
I have had a good amount of tendon pain mostly in left achilles and in tendons on top and bottom of arch of foot as well as some heel and knee pain. Again, like I said primarily left side. The achilles pain has subsided some, most of the pain and discomfort now is in the foot.
I have taken quinolones a few times in the past (Cipro) with either no pain or some pain that subsided quickly at or shortly after end of course (same with left leg/foot, I think).
At this time I would urge you not to worry further about STI and to work with your doctors to address what may be prostatitis. I hope this comment helps.
For many years I have pains that pop up for no reason in joints and muscles and last for usually three to six months and then vanish. I get rashes and tiny red spots on my shins and then clear up. The rashes last about the same three to six months. I had these pains in both my shoulders at once, which almost never happens, so I thought it was my rotator cuffs going due to the work that I do.
I took them but the itching and hair pulling sensations persisted. On March 17, he prescribed Avelox 400 mg to taken 1x/day for five days. It was ineffective as to these symptoms.
It would seem that the antibiotics have killed off any bacterial diseases, and based on the lack of visual manifestations of the itching on my skin, I wonder if I don't have a fungal infection.
t abated, provider considered trich, and mycoplasm as possible culprits). I was also put on avelox 400 mg for 10 days as well. Currently I have 6 days remaining on the doxycycline and 9 days remaining on the avelox. I have not engaged in any sexual activity whatsoever since my diagnosis however I still have a very mild clear mucus discharge primarily in the morning; the penile itching and dysuria has abated.
You will see many parallels with your own symptoms. You also will see that CPPS and chronic, non-infectious prostatitis are closely related and often may be one in the same.
Probably no ongoing infection explains your current symptoms. Persistent or recurrent NGU, nonbacterial prostatitis, and CPPS may be due to continuing non-infectious inflammation, without active infection. Although sometimes prolonged courses (e.g. 6 weeks) of antibiotics are tried, they usually make no difference.
After trying Doxy, Azithromycin, and Flagyl, the only antibiotic that finally worked was Avelox. The question now is what I should treat my partner with. I know from my experience that my NGU was passed sexually, and she needs to get treated before we can have sex again. The problem, is that she said she is allergic to Avelox. Another problem, is that since it is NGU, we cannot test to confirm if the bacteria is cured, and she is also asymptomatic.
If the tendonitis is due to Avelox then yes, it can be treated as usual. The pain and inflammation will subside once the medication leaves the body completely. This may take a week. This is treated with NSAIDs, rest and orthotics or specially designed foot wear to ease the pressure off the tendon. Take care!
Took Cipro and the sinus pain was not improved so that was follwed by a course of Avelox where I ended up in the ER by day 7 on it [couldn't walk on my own needed IV fluids]. Off it for a week now and still really tired, various nerve pain, joint pain, muscle fatigue...seems to cycle, weak and dizzy, some blurred vision but it's all better than it had been just seems it should be gone since the meds are out of my system.
Burning in urethra, clear discharge from penis, lower back and abdomen pain intermittently, my scrotum feels really warm and sweaty, my rectum every now and again will feel wet and a sweaty even when I'm standing around not doing anything, sometimes my scrotum feels like its being lightly pinched. These symptoms aren't always present at the same time. Nor do I always have these symptoms.
frequency of urination, frequency of urination at night (once per hour sometimes), ache in left testicular area, 2 nights of waking up sweaty, sore lower back/hips, and my semen volume was reduced, and often had what looked like strands of white material inside it. In the morning usually, I would have a few spots of a clear, mucus like discharge in my underwear.
also been on the avelox a week now and still have a week to go, but infection is just getting worse. have been making sure not to take any dairy or other minerals with it, 8 hrs before or 4 hrs after taking it. doc told me to take my omeprazole every day for my acid reflux (which i haven't had any problems with in quite a while) because she thought my acid reflux might be causing all of this to be worse and making my asthma flare up.
Many patients are wrongly identified as prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis. Although prostatic hyperplasia is very just like chronic prostatitis during the early stage, they may be two different diseases. What are the symptoms of prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis? How to distinguish between prostatic hyperplasia and chronic prostatitis?
I am worried about this prostatitis and if it is transmittable. I care about this girl deeply as a friend and potential long-term partner and do not want to pass it to her (not that I'd want to pass anything on to anyone). And even if it doesn't affect her I worry that she could potential pass it on to another partner.
My questions are:
Was this caused by chlamydia?
Can I transmit this? If so, is a condom effective protection.
Can I transmit it via her to someone else? (i.e.
Irrespective, you now have been treated repeatedly with antibiotics without any change in symptoms, making STDs and prostatitis still less likely (prostatitis might not be cured by the therapy you have had but it would have gotten better).
Concerns about Ureaplasma and Mycoplasma genitalium are probably misplaced as well.
