On the other hand, the moxifloxacin is good for both prostate infections, mycoplasma genitalium and other urianry tract infections. When we are at the satge of "trial and "error", this has been helpful in the past. My consern would be that you have prostatitis.
What did work was a combination of Moxifloxacin 400mg one per day for 10 days (in the morning), plus Rifampicin one pill per day for 10 days (at night). The combination of both of these together finally killed it!
I myself cleared it with Moxifloxacin and Rifampicin My test was repeated negative until I joined a research study for unable to be identified bacterial prostatitis. I tested positive for Mycoplasum Genitalium but a strain that does not show up on standard tests due to a gene change that was part of it becoming antibiotic resistant which is one of the markers they originally used for DNA testing of the bacteria in samples provided by suspected infected patients.
I cannot imagine it is worth the time and expense to travel internationally to get some new drug for it. And while moxifloxacin resistance may be common in some parts of Australia, it appears to be effective in most geographic areas.
As for any drug not being "allowed" for treatment of certain infections, that reflects a misunderstanding.
I had mycoplasma genitalium for 16 years. I knew something was wrong started as clear discharge became epydymitis and prostatitis I dealt with it in agony told nothing was wrong even was part of a chronic bacterial prostatitis study. Fast forward ten more years as I ignored it went on my life I gave it to someone who gave it to a guy in the British army. And he was given pristinamycin and diagnosed with mycoplasma genitalium a STD they do not test for in the U.S.
If you meant to say that you took Moxifloxacin, and you still have symptoms, it just means that you have multi drug resistance MG. Yes, there are STD’s in this country that are not known about AND MG is the culprit behind many undiagnosable urethritis/prostatitis issues.
This is way more common than the doctors even know about. I’m not saying this to scare you, I’m saying this. because it’s the truth.
And most if not all cases would have been eradicated by one or more of the antibiotics you had, especially moxifloxacin. It is possible that testing for MG will become routine in the future, but not yet. To your specific questions:
1-3) Recurrences are common with NGU, but not usually for 3 years. I would guess you have had a prostate problem, rather than recurrent NGU per se. It is unlikely that your problem is due to persistent or recurrent M genitalium.
pushed it all the way in to get max. out of it. Again, it came back Neg. for MG. Then Dr. suggested that it may be prostatitis. Week later I had prostate secretion analysis. At the same time MG was tested again. It was tested from second urine to be sure it is not in my prostate. MG was again negative, but I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Even though it was bad news, I was glad that eventually the cause of my problems was found. I got antibiotic treatment (12 days Unasyn, 15 days Nolicin).
CE2007 is right on. Get an accurate test for MG, and if all you’ve taken for antibiotics is doxy, you have a chance at curing it if it’s MG. Go right to long course Moxifloxacin if you have MG.
Had prostate checked for prostatitis, no uti either. My question is, what is it?? Can it possibly be some kind of yeast? Seems like i have been tested for all else with urinalysis and blood tests. Please anyone, i need help. It is driving me up the wall. Please any ideas?
if the problem persists or recurs, give the alternate drug plus metronidazole (Flagyl) or tinidazole (Tindamax) to cover trichomonas; and for still more recurrences, moxifloxacin, apparently the best drug for M. genitalium. If your treatments have been different than this, discuss it with your doctor.
Some cases at this stage may be due to prostatitis. Infection due to unusual bacteria may need to be checked out.
azrithromycin 1gm, doxycycline 14 days, flagyl, cipro. Nothing helped. He gave me an antifungal afterwards. Then he gave me moxifloxacin for 10 days. Again got tested after antibiotics were out of my system for 14 days, and everything negative.
In the meantime, penis is very sensitive still almost two months later. Rash is the same. Saw 3 dermatologists, one thinks penile psoriasis, one thinks nothing, one thinks dermatitis....lovely.
So my question is this, What could my diagnosis be and how effective is Moxifloxacin (I have taken ofloxacin) as a treatment for STDs or Urethritis, especially in South East Asia?
if you finally get a positive, the FDA just approve Lefamulin, which has high activity against MG in vitro. If you’ve failed Moxifloxacin, I’d push for a minocycline/Lefamulin combo. It seriously is the only bit of hope that has come along in many years.
doxycycline, azithromycin and moxifloxacin. The first two failed to clear my infection and now I have two days that I finished the moxifloxacin 400 mg( 10 days treatment) clearing my symptoms. My question is, Is it possible for the bacteria to reoccur after the moxifloxacin treatment? And if yes what other option are there?
t say that this is for everybody. I had a relatively mild prostatitis, so it worked for me 100 percent. Mine was caused by an STD, and I wanted to be cured of that.
I learned a lot from him. Mainly that the prostate, penis, testes, are a huge bundle of nerves. And that pain in the tip of the penis often comes from a link to the prostate.
In my case I got Trichomonas, and that comes with other things.
Nonbacterial prostatitis appears to be an inconvenience, not particularly harmful for either men or their sex partners. Indeed, some experts recommend that men with prostatitis have regular sexual activity, believing it beneifts the symptoms.
So my advice is to look at this as a nuisance condition, not a serious health threat for either you or your partner. I'll bet both your urologist and your GUM clinicians would agree with this perspective.
I hope this has helped.
Welcome to the forum.
Your symptoms are nonspecific -- i.e. they don't point strongly to any particular problem. The only STD related condition that could cause testicular pain and swelling is epididymitis (testicular infection), and the only STDs known to cause it are chlamydia and gonorrhea. With those tests being negative, sexually acquried epididymitis has been definitively ruled out. Further, real epididymitis is a much more dramatic, inflamed condition than you have described.
Cure rates with moxifloxacin are 100% According to some info
I’ve found, and is used after Doxy and az. So id press to get moxifloxacin. moxifloxacin 400 mg daily for 7 to 14 days is the preferred antibiotic regimen.
Different bacteria can respond to different medication
