Common Questions and Answers about Doxycycline gonorrhea treatment

This is a true statement but the net effect of this increasing problem is that ceftriaxone is increasingly the preferred drug for gonorrhea treatment. When given with doxycycline (given because of the possibility of co-infection with chlamydia), the combination of drugs you took is close to 100% effective.
Probably you were no longer infectious within a couple days of starting the doxycycline. Routine advice is exactly what you were told, no sex until completing treatment -- but doing so toward the end of treatment shouldn't be a problem and did not put your partner at risk. And missing a single pill makes no difference.
However, you don't mention whether your partner was treated.
Indeed, gonorrhea is occasionally transmitted by oral sex and when it occurs it is asymptomatic less than 10% of the time. Furthermore, over 60% of gonorrhea remains sensitive to doxycycline in the doses you were taking. Thus, when you put these facts together with the facts that gonorrhea is rare in Scandinavian nations, that it is unlikely that your partner had oral gonorrhea, and that if she did it is unlikely that you were infected, your risk of infection is very, very low.
I was treated with ceftriaxone and Doxycycline but my wife was only treated with 100mg of Doxycycline twice a day for 7 days. She was not diagnosed. Is it possible that Doxycycline will cure Gonorrhea on its own. She felt some burning in her urethra but only after treatment. Her Dr. thought it may be just a yeast infection from strong antibiotics. What are the chances her complete uranylisis will show that she is negative for Gonorrhea?
Both would have been treated with a high degree of reliability with the therapy you received as the cefixime (Suprax) is the recommended therapy for gonorrhea and doxycycline is recommended therapy for NGU. Both are so effective that it is not necessary to have a follow-up, "test-of-cure" test. The symptoms typically begin to improve very soon after starting therapy (24 hours) but may not completely resolve for 5-7 days in some cases.
My doctor did a culture of my throat and penis to determine if I have chlamydia or gonorrhea. But he decided to go ahead and treat me for the above STDs. I was given a shot of an antibiotic yesterday and put on a regiment of doxycycline. How long will it before I start to feel better. I have had relief with the feeling of swollen testicles but my throat doesnt seem to be any better at all. I'm concerned for some reason that this isnt going to respond to treatment.
Your treatment, while likely to have cured you, may have also transformed it from a symptomatic infection to an asymptomatic one. Recommended treatment for gonorrhea in the U.S. is now ceftriaxone, at least 125 mg given as a shot, followed by either a single 1.0 gram dose of azithromycin or, alternatively, doxycycline, 100 mg taken twice daily for 7 days. Finally, anyone you have had sex with in the past 30 days should be evaluated and treated. Hope this helps.
i recently did gramstain and the doctor said that i have a gonorrhea he inject me rociphine combined with azithromicine for 3days. after 2 weeks i repeated gramstain and the result was COCCOBACILLI NEGATIVE: PLENTY, and he gave me doxycycline for 14days. after 14 days i repeated gramstain and the result is coccobacilli(-): MODERATE. The question is what should i do now? i still have abdominal pain and greenish vaginal discharge sometimes.
It might but not recommended to do so.

Will the discharge be gone?
Is it a sign that i'm treated.
Thanks a lot.
Suspecting it as gonorrhea (thru reading the net), I self medicated with doxycycline 100mg taken twice for 7 days. The discharge was gone after 4 days (continued the medication till the 7th day). I never had sex with anybody during these period. Aug. 31, 2012 I had protected sex with my girlfriend and after 6 days, discharge from my organ showed up again. So I finally decided to go to a doctor to have it checked.
then next day I went to different doctor and told him white discharge, the doctor told it might be gonorrhea (as not tested the blood) and injected gonorrhea penicillin (I didnt ask the name of injection as he told usually this injection for gonorrhea treatment), and the doctor asked to continue the same medicine of doxycycline pills and pot citra 6 days (as I started the medicine yesterday), the doctor advised after 6 day the gonorreah will be cured and advised me to take blood test after 3 m
About six months ago, I was diagnosed with Gonorrhea after noticing discharge and painful urination. Turns out, my girlfriend had an oral infection, and she transmitted Gonorrhea to me through oral sex. We were both treated. She was given Rocephin and Azithromyocin, and I was given Rocephin and Doxycycline. I wasn't given Rocephin until after my bacterial culture revealed it Gonorrhea and not Chlamydia, but Doxycyline cleared my symptoms within 4 hours.
A couple of days back, after having unprotected sex, I started having burning sensations while urinating, and also thick yellowish discharge from my penis. I commenced a 7 day treatment with Cipro and Doxycycline. I completed the treatment about 3 days ago, but I still have discharge(though less thick and not as plentiful), and a slight discomfort when I urinate and when I get an erection. How long does it take for the symptoms to disappear, and did I take the wrong medication?
To cut a story short, happened 2 mths ago in South East Asia, unprotected oral & protected sex, diagnosed in by the country with gonorrhea 3 weeks after exposure, given a course of doxycycline 1.5gm, ciproflaxin 1gm, rifampicin1.2gm and levoflovaxin 0.75gm. Finished all courses in 7 days.
Subsequently, after 2 weeks went for a blood test for STDs, they were unable to do urine test thus relying on antibodies detection.
Can someone tell me what STDs can be treated with Doxycycline? Can you list all of them please? Thank you.
Due to HIPAA guidelines, you are allowed 100% access to everything in your medical chart. If they won't even answer a simple question such as - was I tested for gonorrhea with my testing - call the clinic manager and ask why you are not being given such simple information when you've asked about it.
He told me the Suprax/Cipro would treat potential gonorrhea and Doxycycline would cover NGU and other non sexual bacteria. I have a weeks supply of Cipro, however, he told me it wasn't necessary
I took the Suprax and Cipro last night. In the middle of the night I went to urinate and noticed a clear substance covering my opening. It was very slight, however, could be described as a clear perhaps sticky discharge. It has not returned today. I am still experiencing painful burning urination.
