Avatar m tn Two days later, I noticed some testicular ache and itching.. No discharge.. I gave this about a week then visited a clinical for testing.
Avatar m tn Hello, I have had epididymitis for the past 7 months. I have tried 21 day course of cipro, 4 week course of doxycycline, a dose of azithromycin, 1 week course of bactrim. I am very young too (20 years old) and this condition is stopping me from doing daily tasks. I have trouble sitting. I have had ultrasound, blood test, urine test all negative but physical examination revealed epididymitis which was missed on the ultrasound. But the ultrasound did show increased vascularity in the epididymis.
Avatar n tn I was diagnosed with NGU about 5 weeks ago after unprotected sex with A. tested negative for gonn and chlamydia, given azithromycin 1g and a shot of ceftraxione. i had bad testicle pain at this point, in addition to some cloudy discharge, painful urination, etc... the symptoms subsided after a few days, and a week later i resumed unprotected sex with B, my wife, the recommendation of my doc. a few days later, my symptoms came back.
Avatar m tn A cephalosporin (such as ceftriaxone) combined with doxycycline is an alternative. Azithromycin can be used for susceptible strains. In children, quinolones and doxycycline are best avoided. Since bacteria that cause urinary tract infections are often the cause of epididymitis in children, co-trimoxazole or suited penicillins (for example, cephalexin) can be used. If there is a sexually transmitted disease, the partner should also be treated.' http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar f tn The next day i went to my gp and he took a urine sample and prescribed me with 1g azithromycin and 400mg suprax. I took the medication and refrained from sex for 10 days. Symptoms seemed to get better by day 5 and my tests came back negative. I had sex ten days after medication and about a week after i noticed the same symptoms. I was tested again and given 1g azithromycin and cipro 500mg 2 pills per day for ten days. Tests came back negative again.
Avatar f tn I experienced clear discharge two days after and took 1500 mg of azithromycin. Everything has cleared up except for my testicles feel heavy and sensitive. I suspect it is epididymitis. What could be the cause of this? I have no other symptoms.
Avatar m tn and around 5 days later I had received my results back saying that it is negative for chlamydia which I was excited for but I still had symptoms, the same symptoms I have had for the past month and a half.
Avatar m tn So I went to my doctor and she treated me with I beleieve 4 azithromycin pills and an injection plus I gave a urine sample for possible STD and she sent me on my way. A few days later I noticed nothing was improving so I went back and got prescribed Cefixime and doxycycline 100mg for 7 days in hopes of improvement as it worked for me the last time in hopes that the testicles/possible Epididymitis would improve.

Avatar m tn s so consulted with a physician friend of mine and he prescribed 1g of azithromycin for me just in case, but never performed any std testing. I took the azithromycin approximately 1.5 weeks after our encounter. The problem was that I was given 4 250mg tablets, but I dropped one of them thus only taking 750mg of the azithromycin. So my first question. Is 750mg of azithromycin enough to erradicate chlamydia and mycoplasma genitalium? Fast forward 6 weeks (8 weeks after encounter).
Avatar n tn okay take you so much AJ well now the mucus in my motuh has cleared up but i am still feeling testicular pain and as i stated i had gotten the medication for apo-ciproflox and azithromycin on wednesdat at 5pm, so i would like to know when the effect of testicular pain will stop so i can stop worrying and being concerned and move on PLZ AND THANK YU
Avatar m tn I was prescribed azithromycin. This did not help, so a week later I was tested for chlamydiae, gonorrhea, and a UTI, and prescribed doxycycline, twice daily. The doxycycline also did not help. All the test results came back negative. I was scheduled for an ultrasound tomorrow. By yesterday, the pain had become almost constant and focused in my groin area -- in my inner thigh, under my testicles, with shooting pain reaching my testicles themselves.

Avatar f tn So for a couple months now I've had aches and pains all over my body, mainly centralized in the lower back, legs, anus and lower abdominals. Along with these increasingly painful aches, I have had a feeling of pressure in my testicles as well as pain there, and in the tip of my penis a painful pinching feeling. I have a clear discharge from my urethra every so often, and it burns/is very painful to urinate. It also is starting to hurt when I get an erection or ejaculate.
Avatar m tn Epididymitis due to chlamydia or gonorrhea (the only STD causes of epididymitis) was pretty much impossible at this point, since you had already received doxycycline -- which would have cured chlamydia for sure and usually gonorrhea as well. 4th visit: Continuing symptoms despite azithromycin (Z-pak) was further evidence that an STD was not the problem. 5th visit: Continuing pain despite yet another course of azithromycin: Still stronger evidence against STD.
Avatar f tn How were you treated for it? Have you only taken the azithromycin and doxy? Was it one week of doxy? That was a few months prior to the epididmytis diagnosis, correct? Can you be clearer on that timeline? Are we talking 2 months? 8 months? Longer? Epididmytis has many causes - yours may not have been caused by the chlamydia. The recommended treatment depends on what caused it. You can see some here - https://www.cdc.gov/std/tg2015/epididymitis.htm and here - https://www.aafp.
Avatar f tn I'm a sexually active 22 year old male, and a couple weeks ago I noticed my urethra was starting to itch, something I've never experienced before. I had unprotected sex with like 3 or 4 guys within a couple week span prior to the itching starting.. so obviously my mind went right to an Std, and I've never had one before so I started freaking out and got tested, negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Avatar f tn So, had brief encounter with sex worker. I am a male and she a female, just for clarity and accuracy of response though I'm confident that this is irrelevant. In any case, I received oral sex lasting only a couple minutes then shortly after completed with handjob. Anyway, that night I had extreme regrets as this not something I regularly do, only once before. So in my anxious state, I thought it best to be proactive and see if I could prevent any full infection from developing.
Avatar n tn Hi, I used to get hospitalized for epididymitis and got an IV antibiotics when Cipro would usually not get the infections under control. I think that one of them started with Retro. The rest I don't remember. Usually after about a week things started to get better. Later on I used to get orchitis and required hospital stays as well. I used to get it about every 3 or 4 months. After a vasectomy I no longer get it.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with epididymitis and would like some help and input as to the possibility of STD. Until last weekend, I was monogamous with the same woman for three years and neither of us have/had ever been symptomatic of any STD. Prior to last weekend, I had not had sex for about two months. A couple of months ago, I had some very minor itching at the base of my urethra. No pain or burning or discharge - just a bit of an itch.
Avatar m tn Having symptoms weeks after treatment for suspected chlamydia Been in a relationship for 6 years. Made a huge mistake 4 weeks ago (June 24th) and received very brief unprotected oral. My anxiety was at an all time high immediately after and has stayed that way. Within the next week I started experiencing frequent urination and possibly a small amount of clear discharge. Maybe just a drip noticed before urination. But i constantly felt like i had to pee. No pain when urinating.
Avatar n tn Two days later I started getting mild pain in my testicle, and this is continuing for several months affecting my day to day life. Other than diagnosed for epididymitis (though there is no visible swelling seen from outside), I was cleared on all the STD tests and no bacterias found. When I posted a similar question asking whether genital skin-to-skin contact can cause epididymitis in STD forums, I got a response saying it is not possible.

Avatar f tn So for a couple months now I've had aches and pains all over my body, mainly centralized in the lower back, thighs, hamstrings, knees, anus and lower abdominals.
