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 f tn I have had bleeding gums and gum disease for years. Im 28yrs old now. Each time i go to the dentist they tell me about best ways to clean and floss. I try my best but still never seems to go away. I have brought a very good new oral b electric toothbrush to ensure I clean to the best of my ability. I also floss. I have tried natural mouthwashes and toothpastes containing herbs like myrrh etc which are known to help keep gums healthy.
Avatar f tn Took my mother to the dentist finally since she had refused to go for several years and since shes been having problems with loose tooth and was a problem that needed to be addressed prior to spinal surgery. Dentist diagnosed her with severe gum disease that was causing bone loss and said most of the tooth has to be extracted eventually or they'll fall out. Cause may be cause of smoking (which she quit) or braces that she had at a late age.
Avatar n tn I also have suffered with chrones disease for the last 23years and was wondering if this could be a factor to gum disease. My teeth are in good condition and I only have 3 fillings. I am 39 years of age. Please could you advise.
Avatar f tn It depends on what your dentist told you or what he prescribed. You might want to try Orajel - which is commonly used for toothaches, but I use it for gum problems as well. If your gums hurt because of wisdom teeth or molars there is not much you can do, besides wait it out. Try to only eat liquid foods such as soup or broth.
Avatar f tn Well, goodness, doxy is taken for all kinds of reasons - acne, bronchitis and other upper respiratory infections, eye infections, gum disease, even malaria. It's a broad spectrum antibiotic, which means it's used for many, many things. She's a CSW. You aren't entitled to her medical history. This is not a relationship where you share personal details. Oral IS a risk for gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis.
Avatar m tn can you please help me if any other antibiotic or combination antibiotic can help me get through this condition. I am still on doxycycline for last 6 week, right now urethritis, sometimes testicular pain, left knee pain, conjunctivitis on left side , all are there.
7649778 tn?1401294601 Is it possible to have a higher chance of gum disease from pregnancy? My doctor never said anything, and I always brush and floss, but it's like overnight or super recently my gums got in really bad shape and I just noticed. Could pregnancy be the reason why?
Avatar f tn t believe me that she needed to be tested for Celiac disease, but yep, she has it and going gluten free cleared up the skin problems she'd had since she was about 11. I had all sorts of skin problems too that improved immensely. I do like tea tree oil for healing skin breakouts.
Avatar n tn But the insomnia was miserable so I called my doctor to ask if there was anything I could do for the side effects, so he switched me to 3 wks of doxycycline, which I started taking immediately. Now I sleep OK but after two days the symptoms are back in full force. I'm wondering if I made a mistake in switching. Have others had similar experiences? Is doxy just slower to take effect?
Avatar n tn I was wondering....when do people usually feel better after starting doxycycline? I have been on it for a week now and haven't noticed a big difference.
Avatar m tn I went to a urologist and they diagnosed me with prostatitis. Ive been on Doxycycline for 1 month and nothings truly got better. i have 2 more weeks on the medication. WHAT CAN I DO? also im skeptical on it being prostatitis. especially if antibiotics hasnt cleared this up. Should i try and do a semen anaylsis? and how do i go about getting my doctor to use a camera to look into my urethera. (if the discharge is being cause by herpes sores im assuming this could diagnose it.
Avatar m tn I have been using doxycycline, I have had trouble urinating still I had oral sex about 3 months ago. First my penis was going numb and then it went away.
Avatar f tn Hi . me and my boyfriend have been together for a year and went to the GUM clinic when we first got together and got checked out , where i was diagnosed with PID i was treated for this twice. i then came out in warts and am still getting treatment for them as they are been stubborn and because i am now pregnant they are more hard to get rid of .
Avatar f tn Oh I forgot to mention that my bf was put on docy too for the chlamydia that he thought I had even tho he didnt test me for it. Sooo now after this last time that it came back I am having real bad problems with cramping and I'm frustrated that this horrible disease keeps coming back. So my question is, has anyone had their PID recurr over and over again or can this be maybe trich and since my bf wasnt treated with the right meds for it he keeps giving it to me?
Avatar m tn I have been getting burning sensations in neck, elbows, ankles and behind my knees a stiff tight feeling. The glands do not appear to be swollen. I visited GUM clinic who tested for Chlamydia and Gonnorea at week three but came back negative, doctor gave me 1gram of azithromycin which again did not take way my problems. I re visited the GUM clinic who again took further swabs and tested for HIV and syphillis at four and a half weeks, both have come back negative.
Avatar m tn I went for my regular dental check up in Toronto (Family Tree Dental) and I was shocked to hear from my dentist that I have Gingivitis ( gum disease), but I never experienced any pain or bleeding How can this be detected at earlier stage?
Avatar m tn i did two bout of doxycycline one of cefixine and still i had this mild burning in my penis , everythere i read they proclaim doxycycline is standard treatment for chlamydia and ngu put for some metablic reason it does work FoR some? I.
Avatar n tn Two weeks later a large infected rash appeared. I got myself tested for Lyme and it came out negative. I was given a day of Doxycycline and then it was changed to Amoxicillan. I took it for two weeks. The doctor told me to stop the medication and get retested. Two weeks later, I got my positive results. I had, at this point, two weeks on, two weeks off the antibiotics. When I returned to the doctor with positive results, he put me back on Doxycycline for another two weeks.
Avatar m tn leeturner: I think the same thing happened to me. I took doxycycline for a week for a sinus infection. Noticed my arms began to feel dry and itchy. Then plenty of little red bumps broke out on my arms. My arms itched like mad. Tried OTC Cortisone10, but it did not help. Finally I went to HMO clinic. Doctor prescribed a very mild lotion to be applied every 12 hours. Two days later I still had no relief, the rash had spread all over body. It had been awakening me at night.
Avatar n tn In areas where doxycycline and mefloquine are equally effacious in preventing malaria, doxycycline is the drug of choice. Mefloquine should only be used for personnel with contraindications to doxycycline and do not have any contraindications to the use of mefloquine . . . . Mefloquine should not be given to soldiers with recent history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) or have symptomatic TBI. Malarone would be the treatment of choice for these soldiers who cannot take doxycycline or mefloquine.
Avatar f tn Background: Had unprotected oral sex with 3 males in one night (I'm also male), both gave and received, also one instance of them touching my anus (briefly). Few days after I get standard STD symptoms, discharge (cloudy white/watery), pain while peeing and general urethra pain & redness. Then couple days after this I get high grade fever, night sweats, cough (mild), general flu like symptoms.
Avatar f tn i was given doxycycline and more metronidazole and finished these about three weeks ago. the tests results for stds and candida all came back negative, but the sympoms are still present. i am going back to the gum the next time i can get away from work, but no one has been able to tell me what kind of infection this is or what kind of treatment will work. i would think it was only bv but the doctor said that it was an infection of some kind.
Avatar m tn I have gum disease. Recently got a gum access around loose tooth . The dentist gave me antibiotics and said the tooth may stabilise. I have completed the course of antibiotics but swelling is still in my gum although the tooth feels a little firmer . Would more antibiotics help? I can't see my dentist for a while. Help please?
Avatar n tn Physical Signs of Heart Disease Swelling of Your Feet and Lower Legs Retention of fluid in the feet and legs is known as peripheral edema. Edema may appear as "sock marks" at the end of the day. Mild peripheral edema is common. Your doctor may check for this sign by pressing a finger against your ankle or shin bone to see if a depression is left behind. This is called "pitting edema.
