Avatar m tn itching in groins and in anus, burning and irritation after peeing are 60% resolved. However, now I am having bladder discomfort and pain , urine urgency, irritation & pain after peeing (dysuria). In addition constant dull constant ache in right lateral side just above bladder (possibly) ureter. I am at a place where no NAAT test are available except simple urine RE and culture. The symptomatic treatment is only option for me.
Avatar m tn What would be a possible course of treatment for the Metronidazole-resistant Trich? I read, that perhaps Tinidazole would be the next choice of drug? If yes, what dosage should be effective? Question 5: I tried to comb through the net to find anything about after how much time the symptoms of Trich should start disappearing when treated with drugs? (Non of the countless sites mention that at all). Thank you very much in advance for your help.
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 f tn Welcome to our Forum. I'll try to help but I think that will require me to ask some questions. The treatment you have both received would reliably cure gonorrhea, chlamydia (and its counterpoint in men, NGU), and trichomonas. I'm troubled however that you say that this treatment was given "in case of...". The diagnosis of STIs should be guided by test results and clinical findings. Have either you or your partner been tested? and if so, what were the test results.
Avatar m tn 1. should i take metronidazole before going back to the doctor? 2. assuming that my doctor had a mistake, is there any bad effect in my health after taking the medications? 3. will it be appropriate if i will discuss to my doctor about what i just learned? please help me on this for i am in panic..thanks..
Avatar f tn The shots may have been cefoxitin, which covers both gonorrhea and many of the other possible bacteria; metronidazole also covers additional bacteria. (If the shots were ceftriaxone rather than cefoxitin, that's good for gonorrhea but not the not the other bacteria that could be involved.
Avatar f tn Hi did you get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia? And also syphillis? Just continue working with your doctor.
Avatar m tn By midday I could feel a twinge in my urethra (I have had NGU before and it felt like this), by the evening I knew there was something not right. The next day the pain in my urethra as worse. I assumed it was NGU again and have gotten anti-biotics from my doctor. But now I read that STD's dont show up that fast- my symptom started within 12 hours, even less maybe. There is no discharge at all, no real itchiness, just a mild constant pain in my penis.
Avatar f tn It is recommended that those who are given the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis and are then told they also have Chlamydia and Gonorrhea when they are low-risk (ie. have (-) partner and are in a monogamous relationship) should request a culture test. The tx for BV is metronidazole, an antibiotic that DOES NOT kill gc/chlamydia. If the culture is negative it's because you never had it, not bc the medication erradicated it. I know because it happened to me.
Avatar m tn Your doctor has correctly treated you for both of these -- cefixime against gonorrhea, docycycline against NGU (using American spellings). The metronidazole probably was not necessary; it is intended to treat trichomonas, but that infection is not likely from oral sex. However, it won't do any harm, and your doctor was probably just being careful. Your doctor correctly told you how to take the drugs. The large single doses of cefixime and metronidazole are normal.
Avatar m tn Does anyone know what the cure rate of ceftriaxone 250 mg injection is for treating gonorrhea? Or the 400 mg pill of cifixime? I have been having issues for 5 months now and I have taken every antibiotic known to man and I am still having issues. Male Symptoms: Urethral pain " that comes and goes" occasional skanty clear discharge. Test taken: Gonorrhea and Chlamydia Clean but had take ammoxicilin days prior to test "False negative???
Avatar n tn Hi Some months ago I started having yellow discharge, itching and redness in my vulva. It took some time to discover that it was BV. I was tested for gonorrhea and it was negative. However, i guessed i wasn't tested for chlamydia but my doctor prescribed me doxycicline for 8 days, twice a day, and my boyfriend took it too. So, I guess I can conclude I don't have any of those now. I got better but I never felt really good.
Avatar f tn I was seen by several different doctors and was tested for pretty much everything. (Chlamydia, gonorrhea, herpies, syphylis 4 times tested with a negative result). Then I started reading up on internet about trichomoniasis and my symptoms were almost identical as to those described. Went to a doctor one more time and told him I wanted to be tested for this as well. He did a culture test which came back negative.
Avatar f tn So I think maybe trichomoniasis I've read that metronidazole fail and cause thin white discharge
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with ngu took the medicine and mygirgirlfriend took the meds also. We waited over a week like the Dr said to have sex. Well again the pain and discharge are back so I went to see the Dr again. He gave me a shot and more meds for me and my girlfriend. We have been using protection condoms after that and waited 10 days before having sex. Now the pain and discharge is back again. She went to the clinic and came up negative for ngu but came up positive for bacterial vaginosis.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have Bactorial Vaginosis, and they gave my some antibiotics, Metronidazole, but the nurse told me you cannot drink alcohol at all while taking this medication, so I wanna wait until after the New Year like either Sunday or Monday, to start taking it. Is that a problem to wait to take it, the nurse said it was fine to wait, But I just wanted to know, it won't make the infection worse will it waiting 5 or 6 days to start taking the medication??
Avatar m tn On the other hand, the antibiotics you mention would be expected to cure chlamydia, NGU and nearly all gonorrhea. Did your symptoms improve on any of these medications or were they unchanged? Let me know your responses to these clarifying questions and I may be able to add another comment or two.
Avatar n tn By the time they got my results they closed and I went to another doctor the first clinic never sent my records so I was treated for Chimed and Gonorrhea and a bacterial infection b/c he didn't believe that I had Gonorrhea he told me I would be in alot of pain. I did later found out that the test showed me positive for Gonorrhea. The issue is that my boyfriend and I have unprotected oral and vaginal sex and he got tested twice and has nothing.
Avatar f tn I slept on and off on Tuesday and I didn’t get the Metronidazole filled until Wednesday. I took my first dose on Wednesday and by Thursday my vaginal discharge had changed from the light watery type to thick and white. I don’t have a great sense of smell, but I never once had a bad foul/fishy odor. I waited until Friday to see if the ER would call my back but they never did, so I called them around noon and asked them what the results were.
Avatar m tn The urinary symtoms have reduced after a 2 week course of doxy along with cefuroxime and then metronidazole, but I still have some discomfort/ache in the balls and bladder after urinating a week+ post treatment. The scary part is I've been tested for HIV at 12 weeks negative but I've had fatigue/tiredness, slightly swollen nodes in my neck and a cough since about 4-6 weeks post exposure. Also my daughter has had a persistent cough for about the same time (for 2 months).
Avatar m tn and they prescribe me with two medicine one is levoflaxcin (lexzin) 750mg need to take 1pill for 10days and the other one is metronidazole (flagex) 500mg need to take 4pills/day for 5days... getting paranoid here if my std is worst or which stage is it? should i get a test after taking the medicine? and which test should i take...
Avatar f tn Thank you. Yes I got tested for everything. This is a mistake I won't happen again. Also I had a 7day 500 mg of Metronidazole but it makes me sick this is my 4th day. Should I tell my doctor or am I cured?
