Moxifloxacin urethritis
Common Questions and Answers about Moxifloxacin urethritis
avelox
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.
4 days into moxifloxacin. My urethritis is slightly better but still very noticable. My flanks no longer hurt but i still have bladder stiffness. My Dr extended my mox prescription to 10 days total. Early next week i have an appointment to for ultrasound of kidneys, pelvis and prostate. My dr thinks it may be m genitalium considering all the drugs I've been described haven't worked.
But the doctor mentioned that my white blood cell count is slightly higher than normal ( WBC count taken from the swabs, not from my blood work) and mentioned that there might be an infection so she prescribed Avelox (Moxifloxacin), 4 x 400mg once daily.
The background is, I am Chinese male, been with my girlfriend for about a year and both of us have been loyal and we were both asymptomatic before this event.
So, I've had 58 days of urethritis and a small red rash from the tip of my urethra to the top portion of my glans. It isn't itchy or scaly or painful. Just very sensitive(almost as if i just had an orgasm)
I had a brief unprotected encounter and 3 days later the symptoms began. We both got tested and results were negative for us for any sti. My doc thought maybe it was a less common bacteria and began me on the following in order: azrithromycin 1gm, doxycycline 14 days, flagyl, cipro.
About 6 months ago, I noticed that I had discharge and dysuria and came to the conclusion that I had urethritis. Thinking that it was caused by an std,I want to the doctor who gave me a ceftriaxone injection and put me on ciprofloxacin pills for 3 days.
The symptoms went down drastically but they never completely went away.
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...
So I started having unprotected sex with girl #1.I thought I felt a little urethritis about a week after we first started having sex, and when I peed it kind of sprayed, so I went to get checked.I also had a slight drip that looked like pre ***.The results came out negative. I then have unprotected sex with girl #2.I then go back to having sex with girl #1. A couple weeks later, my urethritis and drip gets even worse and I start to have full on discharges.
I have taken doxycycline twice, azythromicin, metronidazole, and moxifloxacin. I had relief with initial doxycycline treatment, but it came back shortly after.
Tests for herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, ureaplasma, micoplasma, trichomonas, syphillis, HIV, hepatitis are all negative.
Cystoscopy 2 weeks ago confirmed urethritis. No other symptoms.
Why does my penis still burn?
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.
nongonoccal urethritis (NGU) and nonspecific urethritis (NSU) are the same thing. NGU is the usual term in North America (and the one I will use in my reply), NSU in the UK and many commonwealth nations.
Second, your symptoms are somewhat more suggestive of gonorrhea than NGU, especially during the second episode 3 weeks later ("strong yellow discharge"). What lab tests were done each time?
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:

Welcome back to the Forum. Are you still in the adult industry? If so, are you sure that part of what is going on here does not reflect re-exposure? It seems that if you are still in the adult industry the issue of re-exposure is a potential problem.
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.

Tested positive for Mycoplasma Genitalium (wasn’t originally tested for). Prescribed 10 day course of Moxifloxacin. Symptoms cleared. Was then prescribed 1g followed by 6x500mg azithromycin to ensure it was gone. Symptoms slowly reappearing despite having since had a negative Mycoplasma Genitalium test since the last antibiotics.
Could this be recurring urethritis despite no infection - can that happen? I've not had any type of sexual contact with anyone for months.
Please help me.
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?
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.
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.
I´m worried even though my urologist doesn´t believe it that it might become a Urethritis or develop to rieter sindrome. Please help me out.
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.
Indeed, maybe not at any stage. 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.
You continue to ask intelligent and common-sense questions. Unfortunately, the answers are not necessarily clear.
Urine testing for WBC isn't helpful in diagnosing urethritis. The way to accurately look for WBC in suspected urethritis is to microscopically examine material from a swab of the urethra itself. Your symptoms of discharge, especially with yellow staining of underwear, is sufficient evidence to be certain you had urethritis. The negative gonorrhea test confirms it was NGU.
If it turns out you do have M. genitalium and you are resistant you an take 10 days of moxifloxacin 400mg daily. Also, if you are negative you could have non specific urethritis which can be caused by M.Genitalium, but also Ureaplasma urealyticum, Mycoplasma hominis, HSV, Adenovirus or Trichomonas. So other drugs you can take for them are not Azitro alone but you should take Aithro with Tinidazole or Tinidazole with doxycycline.
