Will the azithromycin clear up NGU other than Chlamydia?
Thats why initially I thought it was possibly a UTI, but with the discharge I was leaning more towards an STD. Maybe I didn't take the Cipro long enough. I took the dosage (2 a day) for 10 days (2 packs).
I am currently in Ghana and the have yet to find a clinic that does same day STD test. I waited 5 hours to even meet the doctor for my consultation.
I just don't want to risk whatever I have getting worse.
I recently had an ill advised encounter with a girl in Rio de Janeiro during Carnaval. Unfortunately, my condom broke and ever since I've had a near constant tingling at the end of my penis, although I've had no discharge. I assume that I have one of either chlamydia or gonorrhea, but because I can't speak Portuguese nor can I find a Brazilian doctor in my area who speaks English I haven't been able to confirm.
either you have cipro-resistant gonorrhea (cipro should never be used against gonorrhea, it is highly unreliable); or some sort of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU).
You need to return again to your doctor. Or see an STD specialist, if your doctor isn't one. This will be sorted out eventually, but you're going to need additional testing and probably different antibiotics. Please return with a follow-up ocmment about how it all turns out.
I had gonorrhea late last year, i been treated by doxycyclin and other oral meds, but i still have this white discharge..im so worried now because yesterday my doctor gave me and injectable medicine and said that it is the most of the meds and ill be feeling good in the morning, but when i woke up, i still have this yellowish discharge, im so scared now doc..im planning to go back to him today..
My doc prescribed me 1 g of zithromycin and 500mg of cipro for gonorrhea and chlamydia. I have some
strange antibiotic allergies. He explained that cipro is not as effective and we would retest. But how un effective is it and is it safe to be taken together? I just got them today and am nervous because the pharmacist said I should be careful if I have any heart problems...which I don't.
So I got diagnosed with gonorrhea and have been taking Cipro for 3 days now. However, the side effects of gonorrhea (pain while urinating, and yellow puss disharge) have only gotten worse. There is more discharge, and the pain has become excrusciating to the point that tears are shed. I want to get rid of this soon, or atleast the pain and drainage.
I am afraid that I may have a Cipro-resistant strain seeing that nothing has improved and has only worsen ten-fold.
Hook said that my completing a course of cipro 40-48 hours before my exposure could cause gonorrhea and NGU symptoms to not appear. 3 days after my exposures, I noticed that inside the opening to my urethra (pee hole) was definitely more red than normal. Since then I have experienced mild burning when I first start to urinate (not excruciating burning, and sometimes there is no burning) and the redness areas/spots inside the opening to my urethra are still there.
I had a discharge on my penis and was prescribed cipro for five days. After taking this for 2 days the discharge stopped and after finishing the course even the pain disappeared. My fear is that the infection might reoccure since im told cipro is not the best treatment for sti.
The wording implies you did use condoms for vaginal (or anal) exposure, and only the oral exposure was unprotected. Chlamydia is rarely if ever acquired by oral sex; and although gonorrhea can be so acquired, cipro is usually highly active against most strains of gonorrhea. And if you had caught a cipro-resistant strain by oral sex, you would have had more typical gonorrhea symptoms despite the antibiotic, i.e.
I understand that ceftriaxone is protocol for oral gonorrhea but is it possible that 2g azithromycin or 400mg suprax could also work? Also, would that with cipro or doxy work for treating urethral gonorrhea? Why is there a difference?
Also, I have heard that left untreated, oral gonorrhea may go away on its own. Is that true. Thank you for your responses.
3) Cipro would generally cure gonorrhea; and although not recommended treatment against chlamydia, it would probably turn the tests negative, at least for a while.

5) Your partner should be tested and treated.
6,7) Yes, you should go ahead with testing. See an STD knowledgeable health care provider and follow his or her advice about the details. If you were my patient, I would suggest waiting until at least a week after your last dose of cipro.
I went to get checked and the doctor prescribed 1g of azithromycin. That dosage should be enough for chlamydia, but after research, it seems like i might have gonorrhea since it was only oral. Chlamydia seems rare to be transmitted through oral.
I also saw on this site that another user was prescribed cipro 500mg and 1g azithromycin. Dr. Hhhhhh said that should be sufficient. I had extra cipro I my house, so i took 500mg along with the azithromycin.
Just for your information, there are increasing numbers of gonorrhea strains resistent to cipro. And Azithromycin is more effective for treating Chlamydia. You need testing and treatment with the best antibiotic. I think you are having treatment failure with cipro. Please discuss this again with your doctor.
Doxy is not used as monotherapy for gonorrhea. It is always accompanied with another antibiotic. Gonorrhea is basically fully resistant to tetracycline classes.
But due to the phrasing of the question, i assumed u meant using doxy only.
Anyways, it is not your job or any of us to figure out what antibiotic to use.
s are resistant to Cipro. I have also read that you should treat for both gonorrhea and chlamydia at the same time thus the overkill with the doses. I guess my question is since I did see one small discharge 2 days ago but have seen nothing since, does this mean it is likely cured if I even had it? I will get tested ASAP but was hoping that the discharge gone and no other symptoms present meant I had cleared it up quickly if I had it. Thanks again for your response..
The surgeon-urologist (this was in Europe) just visually inspected my penis, performed a quick ultrasound scan of my lower abdomen and diagnosed me with Trichomonas Vaginalis. He also mentioned that my prostate was enlarged. Her prescribed Cipro, 500 mg 2 x day for 10 days, and a Detreomycin 2% ointment to apply to the head of my penis. The symptomes subsided after about 3 days, and they appeared to go away.
So you only had unprotected oral? That would make it not chlamydia, but could be gonorrhea. Cipro can cure that. If you test in 2 weeks, your test for gonorrhea might still be positive, but if you took the cipro, the test might just be picking up on dead gonorrhea DNA, so retest at a month to make sure its gone.
Does that make sense? I hope so.
You might also call your doctor and tell him the truth, and see if the lab still has the specimen to test for gonorrhea.
I went to the doctor the very next day and he thought it could be gonorrhea, although the discharge was there only one time and I had no test. He gave me a single 500 mg dose of ciprofloxacin and doxycicline 100 mg twice a day for seven days and told me to come again in two weeks to be tested.I did and, and then, he asked for an urine and a sperm culture, which results were negative. But after a couple of days the discomfort grew and I started to feel pain in my testicles.
