Avatar m tn I agree bacterial infection seems unlikely after the week of Antibiotics I took and I shall take your advice a yeast infection is also unlikely. I assume you hint that Clotrimazole is not a sure cure for a yeast infection if I even had any? I think based on your advice I will hold out taking the DOXY until I have been to the clinic again.
Avatar m tn He prescribed 2g azithromycin to be taken all at once. He suggested I go to a GUM clinic (Im in UK), and I did before I took the azithromycin. There they performed urine and throat NAAT tests (for GC+CT),&urethral swab. Urethral swab returned -ve for gonorrhea,but showed white blood cells. Was given 2 weeks, 100mg twice daily,Doxycycline presumptively for Chlamydia,but to clear the apparent NSU. 1)From the 2 incidents described above, what STDs am I likely to be at risk of?HIV/Syhilis?
Avatar n tn m taking metronidazole 500mg for the BV for 7 days. I took the azithromycin on the evening of the 16th. I have to mention that today the discharge is almost nonexistant, whereas before it was obscene. My partner lives in another state, as soon as I received my results I told him to seek treatment. I have another question. I missed my period which is very, very unusual. Could a missed period be due to the gonorrhea infection? My period is always early or right on time.
Avatar n tn Diagnosed as NSU and over next three months it kept recurring despite abstaining from sex and being treated with Azithromycin 1 dose, Doxycycline 1 week, Erythromycin + Metronidazole 1 week, and lastly Azithromycin again for 5 days. My wife was treated with Azitheromycin large single dose and then 4 days. All tests to isolate organism were negative. I was told to stop looking so closely and it, at last, cleared in January.
Avatar f tn I went away and a few days later I had a chest infection which I saw my gp for and got erythromycin 250 4 times a day. I completed the course. Over the past few days I have been feeling the symptoms of slight 'precum' at times in my uretha. The gum clinic called and said that all my tests have come back negative anyway. My questions are. Is there any way the medication I could have taken would not have cured any NSU I may have had. What could it be if not an STD/Nsu?
Avatar m tn I got an NSU/NGU infection in my urethra last Jan. Took Azithromycin for it at the GUM clinic and it flared massively, had horrible urethral pain after taking the antibiotics. Flash forward and it has morphed into prostatitis, urethritis, epidydimytis, strange vascular symptoms on my penis and testicles (apparently thrombophlebitis - had that since the first month of infection). My glands are up in my groin but the doctors are having a hard time finding an infection.
Avatar m tn i've had recurring urethritis for about 2 years now and don't seem to be getting anywhere. This latest bout started about 6 weeks ago and i left it for a while as the symptoms were mild - no burning just an occasional mild irritation in the middle of the urethra. It would feel like pressure or a tickle midway down.. I noticed I'm peeing a lot more and the urgency is definitely increased. I went to the local GUM and was diagnosed with NSU.
Avatar n tn i should note that i have been living with my partner for almost two years now. so i visited GUM dec 2nd 2008. i was given azithromycin (4 tables). i was so worried i sent my girlfriend for a test also. All her tests came back negative.She was called by GUM also and given Azithromycin too( heard its standard practice).
Avatar m tn t wait and went to a GP and he did feel the node.Prescribed me Azithromycin and asked me to take them for now and see what happens after couple of days.
Avatar n tn This study concluded that azithromycin 1g single dose was quite effective in curing gonorrhea. "This paper describes the efficacy of azithromycin 1g single dose in the management of uncomplicated gonorrhoea either with or without chlamydial co-infection. Three hundred and one patients were treated for gonorrhoea between January 2000 and June 2001; 226/301 (75.1%) were treated with azithromycin 1g stat dose while the rest were treated with different regimens. Ninety-seven of 301 (32.
Avatar m tn I took 1 dose 4 days ago. I understand that IF there was an infection, symptoms can last for a period of time after treatment. But I have also read that Azith ( sic ) doesn't cover all bases - for instance Gonorrhea. I should point out I was not tested this week although I have 4 urine tests in 2 years - all Ok. I was treated at a specialist clinic and did not wish to pay the large fee for a test ! I will be seeing my local GP in 3-4 days and will have a urine test there.
Avatar m tn They had no option but to give me another round of Azithromycin and a set of antibiotics (3 day course) for a urine infection. Anxiously awaiting results. What a horrible 5 weeks I've had. Results should be available in 5 days. Feel horrible.
Avatar f tn So 6 weeks ago I tested positive for chlamidya infection, I took the azithromycin 4 tablets, abstained from sex and my boyfriend did the same... Yet here i am 6 weeks later and i've just retested positive again??! I'm really upset and worried about why the treatment didn't work for me the first time. Any words of advice or an explaination would be much appreciated!
Avatar m tn Should I pay a private clinic to get tested for the ones named above since GUM clinic do not test for them. Its strange how two girls have same including me have urine infection. Please dont judge me for this as these girls have not crossed over but I should have been checked before starting new relationship. What should I do?
Avatar m tn I went to a GUM clinic where an infection was found to be present, and so I was tested for gonorrhoea, chlamydia, HIV and syphilis; I do not think I was tested for trichomoniasis. Anyway, the tests came back negative. Pending the results, the doctor had given me 7 days 2x100mg doxycycline which resolved symptoms quickly and I thought the infection was cleared. However, 5 days after the course was over, the white discharge returned.
Avatar f tn I had described that I had been prescribed cipro for a possible bacterial infection (NGU) without anything other than my doctor doing a physical exam and knowing of my negative gono and chlamydia results. Was this post directed towards me? I have since had a urinalysis (results pending) and a scheduled scrotal ultra sound. Is this the correct treatment, and if not, what is?
Avatar m tn Thank you for that advice. I plan to go to the gum clinic on my 1st day back. With research, I believe the symptoms I'm displaying point towards me having an ngu. Is this like other stds that can be passed on through sexual intercourse? what treatments are available and how long does it take to clear up?
Avatar m tn This stat treatment had no effect on my NSU symptoms and I returned to the GUM clinic a week ago. The doctor gave me a further prescription of azithromycin (2 tablet stat dose followed by 1 tab per day for 4 days) together with a five day course of metronidazole. Despite all of this, I am still experiencing a small amount of White discharge from my penis upon wakening. Any thoughts as to what could be causing this/ what I should do?
Avatar f tn If you have an infection vaginally, it can throw the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria, which can cause BV or yeast. Azithromycin doesn't cure BV, so you'll need to talk to your doctor about it, and get a different medication. Get checked though - don't try to treat yourself. You could have a yeast infection from the azithromycin - it's common to get a yeast infection from antibiotics - and that treatment is different than BV treatment.
Avatar n tn I had a gum infection about a month ago and the dentist put me on antibiotics and i took the full course. I thought that had got rid of the infection because i didn't have the vile taste in my mouth that i had. I worrying today because i can taste the taste i had when i had the infection. The other day i kissed and was intimate with a man and i thought it had cleared so i didn't worry about the infection that day.
Avatar m tn Hi, around 4 days ago I got sore throat following by a few mouth ucler (2 on the tongue). Then after 2 days (yesterday morning) my upper lip went a bit numb and really dry. Today the numbness is gone but still extremely dry no matter what I do. So in the afternoon I went to the doctor, and he told me I have an infection, didn't say anything else and prescribe me with "Azithromycin Monohydrate Tables". The problem is now my left eyes is completely red and a bit itchy.
Avatar m tn The doses of azithromycin studies for treatment of chlamydia, NGU, and gonorrhea have been studied when the medication is taken as single doses. Thus, questions about doses taken at lower doses and on different schedules is difficult to answer and require estimation of their effectiveness as opposed to answers based firmly on scientific studies.
