Azithromycin for trichomoniasis

Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin for trichomoniasis

zithromax

Avatar n tn I was researching Trichomoniasis online and one website mentioned that Azithromycin is one treatment for it. Since I was given Azithromycin for the Chlamydia, would this have also cured the Trichomoniasis as well? If not, is there any way a doctor would prescribe me the Trichomoniasis medication without testing? I have read that a swab test is needed to diagnose Trichomoniasis, and I've heard swab testing is incredibly painful so I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Avatar m tn Or it could be resistant chlamydia. It happens. I'm not an expert on trichomoniasis either, so I can't say. Is Azithromycin over the counter in Australia?
Avatar f tn Symptoms continued after 3 days and I went for an in person visit and got treated for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea. I took a shot of ceftriaxzone and a does of azithromycin and metronidizole. My test for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea came back negative and 3 days later my symptoms persisted. I went back and was tested for the same again, as well as a urine culture- tested negative and no growth. I was given Doxycycline and taking for 3 days. Still having symptoms.
Avatar n tn However, even after being tested and treated for EVERYTHING, all of my results were negative and antibiotics and anti-fungal (oral and topical) did nothing. The infection only went away after 3 weeks on it's own after the doctor's tried everything. Since then I've been left with swelling/inflammation on the tip of my penis and redness around the area. This gets worse after sexual activity or masturbation. Luckily, no pain, itching or irritation. It just looks infected.
Avatar m tn t give me the metronidazole because I tested negative for trichomoniasis. I took the azithromycin 4 tablets in one dose on only one day. If U. urealyticum has colonized wouldn't it take longer than one day of treatment for me to be cleared of it? But with him taking both, I don't know which med is clearing his symptoms. It could be the metronidazole which would also cure Gardnerella vaginalis. I guess the biggest question I have is that if it were U. urealyticum, G.
Avatar f tn If it was clamydia or gonorrhoea, your doctor gave you the medicine to treat it. So you would be clear after 7 days, as soon as you didn't have any sexual contact during this 7 days after treatment. If you have sexual contact you could get reinfected. There's nothing to be done now for while you wait. I know it's hard, but keep calm and all will be fine.
Avatar f tn I thought that I wanted to get retested to make sure so I went back and had a second round of testing done for chlamydia, gonorrhea and then trichomoniasis. Again all of which came back negative. Then the person that I had had unprotected oral sex with contacted me saying that their test results came back positive for chlamydia and syphilis. Now I had taken a single dose of 1 g Azithromycin a few days prior.
Avatar f tn Hello, One possibility is of of trichomoniasis. The characteristic symptom of trichomoniasis infection is a heavy, frothy, fishy-smelling discharge from the vagina. The infection can also cause discomfort during sex, vaginal itching, pain when passing urine and occasionally stomach pains. Diagnosis can be confirmed only after pelvic examination and swab samples of the discharge and cervix swabs.
Avatar m tn So 10 days ago I cam back from Mexico on vacation two days later I started to have dysuria (painful urination). I went in to my PCP and he checked for all STD's and gave me Cipro. After 5 days it wasn't helping and the tests gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, HIV and others were all negative. I came back in and was tested Trichomoniasis gonorrhea, and chlamydia while being prescribed metronidazole and azithromycin as prophylactic.
Avatar m tn About a month ago I was diagnosed with gonorrhea (which sexual contact was a month before diagnosis as well) and was treated with an injection of ceftriaxone and 1g of azithromycin (4 tablets) as chlamydia is commonly known to come with gonorrhea. After a full week and a few days the symptoms were gone. After a month from treatment, I noticed mild itching deep in my urethra, which went away but then the burning started happening.
Avatar f tn The gram staining showed Negative for Trichomoniasis and Monilia. But says many coccobacilli, few gram positive bacilli with many pus cells and clue cells noted. Pap smear says I have Benign reactive changes (typical repair) and pathologist wrote "Severe acute inflammation". The itchiness and swelling subsided a bit with the antibiotic but the purulent discharge is still there but I no longer have to wear pantyliners cause it no longer leaks out.
Avatar m tn The only way to tell for sure is testing for her. Testing for you might yield something, but may not. Same for your partner but testing is typically more reliable in women. It may be worth treating both of you at the same time just to verify if there are any changes in your condition. If your recent tests are negative and you discuss treatment with your doctor and it doesn't help, you will need further follow up, potentially from a urologist. Keep us updated.
Avatar n tn I was then put on 7 days of doxycycline, which I took without missing a single day. I waited for around 3 weeks before going back for a re-diagnosis and the results came back negative. Around 4 months after my taking doxycycline, I started to see symptoms again, such as spotting, green discharge, clumpy discharge, and sour smell. This was 9 months into abstinence as I have not had sexual relationships with anyone since the first test.
Avatar m tn One morning, about five days after the encounter, I had a tiny bit of penile discharge when I woke up, so I went to the doctor figuring it was chlamydia or gonorrhea. They ordered a urine test from a lab and gave me a round of azithromycin and ciprofloxacin in the meantime. The discomfort subsided for the most part after a few days, and the tests came back a week later negative for both chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Avatar m tn Hi, I tested negative for chlamydia and gonnorhea via urine test and urethral swab at 2 weeks post encounter with a CSW. I also had a negative standard urine test. At 3 days post exposure I took 1g azithromycin and at 2 weeks post exposure I started doxycycline 100mg two times a day however I am still getting symptoms 3 weeks post exposure (today).
Avatar m tn i went to my doctor he gave me azithromycin,cefixime,doxycycline now my gonorrhea has almost gone...bt i have a swollen lymph node(bellow right ear,nt so much swelling is there bt it is larger than other lymph node and i have neck pain also).....can anyone plz anwer my following questions..plz 1)- can gonorrhea be spread by unprotected oral sex..?? 2)-can it show its symptom after one month..?? 3)-are the swollen lyph node and blocked ear and tiredness is common in gonorrhea...???
Avatar n tn There are no cases of oral trichomoniasis thus there are no data to suggest that there is any reason for you to be concerned about oral trich. 1. Correct 2. Correct 3. Correct 4. Unknown, no reported cases 5. Trichomonas can be diagnosed weeks or even months after infection. The most common symptom in women is vaginal discharge. The odor may or may not be fishy. The thread is now over.
Avatar m tn Sounds a bit like what I have and I have had a irratation in my urethra after unprotected sex for 5 years now. Mine also gets worse after I drink a bunch of cokes or other realy sugary things. I have a host of other symptoms aswell now from this since it's gone on for so long. Good luck with your search for answers, I haven't had any luck and doctors these days don't like to do much thinking it seems.
Avatar f tn She then gave me treatments for all three. For the Gonorrhea she gave me 400mg (1 tablet) of Suprax (Cefixime), for the Yeast Infection she gave me two 150mg tablets of Fluconazole (Diflucan) and for the Chlamydia she gave me 1g (powder) of Azithromycin (Zithromax). I took the Suprax right when I got home, then 1 tablet of the Fluconazole a few hours later, and that night, before bed, I took the Azithromycin exactly as it told me to do. The next day I took the last Fluconazole tablet.
Avatar f tn Thanks for the response, GuitarRox. No, I don’t believe my urologist and I have considered Mycoplasma genitalium. I will bring that up with him. Same for adenovirus; I would rather be safe than sorry. I’m sure that I was tested for a UTI over the multiple times I’ve met with my urologist, but I’ll ask just to make sure.
Avatar m tn I also got a second swab when I went in again for the cramps, and they did not find trich. The cramping went away for a little while, and last month they came back. I did not know what it could have been until I started to have a lower back pain. I am prone to UTIs and figured I had the classic sign. I went to the ER and was given Macrobid, but that still did not work. I then was given Cipro last week, and I am still finishing up the medicine.
Avatar f tn In a post dated July 2, 2005, Dr. Handsfield stated that trichomoniasis "probably can be carried [dormant] in the vagina for years, and perhaps in men as well." My question is how many years can trich be dormant? Is 12 years in the realm of possibility? Thank you.
Avatar n tn I know that Metronidazole is the only thing for Trichomoniasis. We are not having sex until we both are properly diagnosed and treated. I guess my question is what treatment and meds are correct, and could the symptons actually be related to herpes?
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.
