Avatar n tn Different bacteria can respond to different medication
Avatar m tn And adenovirus typically causes conjunctivitis as well -- and there have been published cases of sexually acquired NGU along with conjunctivitis. Further, the NGU associated with viruses often has more prominent urinary pain than discharge -- the opposite of most NGU -- so even that detail fits your story well, as does your partner having had conjunctivitis recently. UTIs are rare in healthy younger males (aside from sexually acquired NGU). And many (most?
Avatar m tn There are a couple other antibiotics that can be prescribed if NGU is persistent, Erythromycine or Moxifloxacin. However, I would only use Moxifloxacin as a last resort, as it can have some very harsh and lasting side effects. In addition, if it's fungal related (Trich) they can also treat you with an alternative regimen of metronizadole. Return to your doctor and discuss persistent NGU with him and CDC guidelines for testing and treating: http://www.cdc.
Avatar m tn When signs got more intense I went to see my GP who has prescribed me now 10 days of moxifloxacin. Am now on my second day. Symptoms have somewhat improved. NB: only protected sex in between these symptoms. My question would be: how likely is it that there would be still any bacteria left to bother me after this treatment? After all the antibiotics I have taken (or am taking right now). I wonder if I just have a recurrent inflammation? What to do if symptoms persist?
Avatar m tn Welcome back. These are a new set of questions so I will address them here using the same numbers that you have used above. 1. The passage of 17 days since your last antibiotics and your most recent testing is more than enough to make your testing reliable. If you were infected, the tests should have detected an infection. Negative tests should also be believed. 2.
Avatar m tn As for your specific problems, let me start with another question. Are you sure you had chlamydia, as identified by a test each time or where you treated for NGU or another chlamydia-associated problem. The reason I ask has to do with what might be going on and whether this is all one problem or two different problems both of which affect your genital tract.
Avatar f tn And by the way, the 40% azithromycin failure rate is only for NGU caused by M gen, which in turn is the cause of only 10% of NGU. And your symptoms cleared nicely on azithro, which itself is strong evidence that you were cured. I would not recommend further treatment with moxifloxacin or anything else.
Avatar m tn s about as much sleep as I get) only. My results have always been negative and yet I still get NGU like symptoms. I know for certain that I don't have Chlamydia or Gonnorhea and have also been tested for UU & Herpes. Can I trust these results and move one? My last unprotected sexual encounter was so brief and fleeting (grinding through underwear) that my sensible mind can't believe that my symptoms would be for an STD....
Avatar m tn In the meantime, i took azrithromyocin 1gm, next day, flagyl, then a 2 week dose of doxycycline and one cipro pill. My doc wanted to cover all my bases in case it was an NGU. I still have the mild irritation and rarely have mild relief at times. No pain with urination or palpation. 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.
Avatar m tn Probably you have nongonococcal urethritis (NGU). Chlamydia causes about 30% of cases and Mycoplasma genitalium around 10%, trichomonas 5%. In half the cases, the cause is entirely unknown.
Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum. You describe a somewhat confusing situation, and I'm not sure I understand the sequence of different partners and their treatment. Your symptoms are highly suggestive of recurrent or persistent nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), which by definition isn't gonorrhea and is rarely caused by chlamydia -- so it isn't surprising your routine STD tests are negative. However, the only treatment you mention is doxycycline. Were no other treatments tried?
Avatar m tn genitalium as a potential cause of NGU and the fact that moxifloxacin is a reliable treatment and therefore has a role in some cases of NGU that persists after azithromycin or doxycycline. The new guidelines were formally released only 2 weeks ago, so it's not entirely surprising they are unfamiliar. In any case, M. genitalium is not the most likely problem here. Urine culture and senstivity implies testing for a non-STD UTI, which is unlikely.
Avatar m tn so ive done a bit of digging and found this information with regards to NGU/NSU from user "HowardH" CDC treatment guidelines suggest a specific sequence for NGU that doesn't respond to treatment: Initial NGU should be treated with either azithromycin (single dose) or doxycycline 7 days; if it persists (by professional exam, not just symptoms), give the alternat drug, i.e.
Avatar n tn Is the discharge associated with NGU something that occurs all day? Or just in the morning?
Avatar m tn Nongonococcal urethritis -- or as it is commonly called in the UK, nonspecific urethritis (NGU or NSU, same thing) -- has never been shown to cause serious health outcomes in either affected men or their sex partners, as long as it isn't caused by chlamydia.
Avatar n tn A small proportion of persons with NGU get recurrent NGU which continues to trouble them despite repeated negative tests and in the face of repeated treatment. When this occurs there is no clear explanation of what is going on but, as long as both partners have been treated and evaluated, experience indicates that this troublesome set of symptoms is not a health risk to either the person with the recurrent NGU or their sexual partners.
Avatar m tn hey there, badgerMR. to be honest, i took metronidazol just one day after i took my azythromicine (i know, shouldn't self-diagnose), but I took them anyway. and it did not help. I know there's an alternative which is tinidazol but I'm just saying I did take antibiotics against MG myself and it did not help the symptom...
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar n tn I was then treated with moxifloxacin (moxifloxacin 400 mg qd x 7) and cefixime (400 mg x 1). The previously mentioned symptoms persisted, as did intermittent aching in the groin and testicles. I also began experiencing some intermittent joint pain in hands and feet as well on the soles of my feet and my heel; occasionally, also redness and watering of the eyes.
Avatar m tn Your question is a bit hard to follow however it sounds to me like you may have gotten NGU from receipt of oral sex. If so, while not the recommended therapy for NGU, the moxifloxacin would have most probably cured it. The discomfort at the tip of your penis that you describe is not suggestive of any STD and may have some other cause of, as you mention, may be a symptom of anxiety.
Avatar m tn I have read most post and responses about normal oral flora causing NGU. I believe this is what was causing my initial symptoms. Am I on the proper treatment? 2. I've read a study that myco. gen. is not found in the throat of CSW in Japan. Can one aquire mycoplasma gen. from oral sex (fellatio)?? 3. I self med(cipro) can I still rely on my GC results at day 9, or is do I need a test for cure, meaning will GC reappear when I am off all meds? 4. I have seen that moxiflox is an alt.
Avatar n tn A recent study was done to show that Myco was only erradicated by 85% of those on the Azithro regiment described, however Avelox ( Moxifloxacin) killed Myco in all cases. Routine is to try described Azithro regimen first and if symtoms still exist Moxifloxacin. Why? I guess so that Myco doesn't become Moxifloxacin resistant. Save the bugs, kill the patient kind of thing. I say take the 400mg a day X 10 day regiment of Moxifloxacin and help yourself.
Avatar n tn In your first response to me, you mentioned something about a recurrence of NGU. The question then is, if NGU is a bacterial infection, which I think it is, and it is appropriately treated with azithromycin and ciprofloxacin, how does it recur without a subsequent re-exposure to the bacteria? Second, also based on what you have said in other threads, NGU does not pose significant health risks to female partners. Do I have that right?
Avatar m tn That said, it is conceivable you have persistent or recurrent nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) or a prostate gland problem. Further, the genital types of chlamydia do not cause cough. There is a kind of chlamydia that causes respiratory infections, but it doesn't infect the genitals. Whatever is causing your partner's cough, it has nothing to do with your genital symptoms. Therefore, before I can help further, I need more information.
