Avatar m tn Someone I had sex with informed me that they had been treated for an sti after experiencing burning pee and discharge. I was fine up until then but also started experiencing burning pee the next day. No discharge. I went to a clinic and they gave me a shot of penicillin and a single dose of Azithromycin. That was the Monday but by the Saturday nothing had changed so I went to a doctor. He tested for any UTI infection but it was clear.
Avatar f tn Have been religiously taking the antibiotics. Have no symptoms. Caught it very early, it would seem. So, all I want to know is how long do I have to keep taking the antibiotics? And when can I kiss my partner again? No body, including doctors seem to be able to give me a straight answer. No sex and three months of antibiotics has been mentioned by one doctor, another said it will all be over in a couple of weeks. Any clue?
Avatar m tn Thanks Vance. The Dr. called me today and recommended me to a urologist and switched me to cipro saying it really sounds more like a bad UTI and Cipro is stronger than doxycycline. He feels that the chances of me still having an STD are practically zero. I don't think it's herpes because it really isn't uncomfortable to urinate. I do have red inside my meatus/urethra and it is irritated for sure.
Avatar f tn Are you asking how long a UTI can last for? It cannot get better without the help of an antibiotic from your doctor and drinking ALOT of cranberry juice. A UTI can quickly spread to a very painful kidney infection.
Avatar f tn Don't be surprised if the doc says no. Your doc may be following the IDSA (Infectious Disease Society of America) guidelines, which hold that a few weeks of doxycycline is all that's needed to cure Lyme, regardless of how long you have had it. Let us know what you hear back, ok?
Avatar m tn --- After Test 2, the local doctor acknowledge I have Syphilis NOT UTI and prescribed doxycycline for 2 weeks 2x a day (100mg each). I took doxycycline for 3 weeks instead of 2 weeks.
Avatar n tn I was told to continue Omnicef for 6 more days and doxycycline for another 3 weeks and then they will see. I will definitely print out your comments and see if I can have some of the test done.
Avatar f tn 2) Is doxycycline the usual treatment for STDs? and not treatment for UTI ? If my pain is reduced due to doxycycline does it mean I belong to STD problem? 3) can an STD show up positive on a UTI test (blood + urine)? I think the doctor only took the UTI test because I don't have a partner and don't have sex. it is possible that they focus on UTI. but the result is negative. no infection.
Avatar f tn If a man is going to contract genital herpes from a sexual contact with a woman who had a active outbreak when they had sex for the first time..when would the symptoms occur and how long would it be to assume he Didn Not get it?
Avatar n tn My dr wanted me to take doxycycline due to the prostate problem, but I am worry if doxycycline can impact sperm and fertility. Any experience and information is very appreciated.
Avatar m tn My insistance we were swapping something, her obgyn insisting to her during exam that it was not something we were swapping. How long does it take for a bacteria from a uti to cause pain? If it was coming from her, wouldn't it cause her symptoms as well?
Avatar f tn Over the next few days the pain persisted and I ended up going to the hospital in which they diagnosed me as having a UTI, gave me a dose of painkillers and a general UTI antibiotic and told me to stop taking the doxycycline. After that the symptoms seem to clear up. A week or so later the doctor I saw when I first had symptoms requested me to come and see her, she informed me I had Ureaplasma and prescribed me the doxycycline again.
Avatar m tn I got diagnosed with epididymitis a week ago and the pain has just now began to leave. Is this common and how long does it normally take for the pain to go completely away along with the swelling? My scrotum hasn't swollen and i've had a ultrasound, blood test, and urine sample and all came back negitive for cancer or a tumor. I'm really frightened about it and hope that this is just epididymitis.
Avatar f tn How long do u go to doc if ur water breaks at home how long until u have till
Avatar f tn Symptoms disappeared but then reappeared 3 months later and I returned and tested positive again and was pescribed doxycycline 100mg tabs once a day for 7 days. After treatment my symptoms continued to persist and I worried that I was still not cured. One month later I returned and was tested again and prescribed 2 azithromycin 500 mg tablets. I got my results and turned up negative for Chlamydia even though I was still experiencing symptoms.
Avatar m tn Well it's been 9 days for the first two meds and 6 for the flagyl, could it be that I have Trich and it's hasn't worked completely yet? Also, is it true that it can take up to two weeks for ALL discharge to go away no matter what I have (gon/chlam or trich) and I am just being inpatient?
Avatar f tn everything that could harm the baby (STDs, infection, UTI etc.) about how long does this take for results to come back? I got this done 2 weeks ago today (4/24) I tried calling but couldn't get through. Just curious to know if everything is okay? How long did your paps from your doc take to come back?
Avatar m tn FYI, it is only by chance that I am replying to your question. Dr. Hook and I take questions without regard to requests for one of us or the other. Our opinions and recommendations are always the same anyway. Your negative syphilis test 6 weeks after exposure, and 2 weeks after the anal area "bump" appeared, was 100% proof you don't have syphilis and your repeat negative test at 3 months further confirmed you didn't have it.
Avatar n tn Yes. I'm taking Doxycycline now when he found out that the bacteria was resistant to Cipro. My question isn't whether I have a UTI or not (I trust my doctor). I'm asking if the whole thing with my ejaculation issues sound relevant. He sort of brushed them off when I told him the issue, so I'm asking here.
Avatar m tn You should return to the provider to diagnosed and treated you for reassassment. If you are found to still have urethritis, re-treatment may be recommended; the standard approach is to treat such men with azithromycin (Zithromax) with or without metronidazole (Flagyl and other brands). Please try to avoid urinating for at least 4 hours before being examined; this aids in detecting subtle evidence of urethritis.
Avatar f tn Went back another 2 weeks later to planned parenthood, she did a wet mount and said she saw white blood cells, so prescribed me doxycycline without running my urine since it could have been a false positive. Anyways, the doxycycline seemed to help the uti symptoms until it was finished, now I feel the same as before. Really confused??? Going back into the clinic Monday to get tested and probably prescribed something else. What could be causing this?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take doxycycline hyclate for bronchitis since I have both intestinal cystitis and gastroparesis?
