Avatar n tn It sounds like he is on a good treatment plan. Unfortunately, the antibiotics, which are necessary, are probably contributing to the fungal infections. Wiki has a good article about prostatitis - http://en.wikipedia.
Avatar m tn colds are not std related. we recommend waiting a full week after treating chlamydia and gonorrhea before resuming sexual contact. there is a risk of transmitting something before then. why don't we recommend prophylactic antibiotics? because the rates of resistance with some std's are very high and we don't want to add to that problem as well as the side effects of antibiotics often cause more troubles than they are worth to be taken needlessly.
Avatar n tn With the recent CDC announcement about gonorrhea and it's resistance to certain antibiotics, i was wondering if one of the dr's could comment on the 'current' efficacy of the 2 gram single dose of azithromycin? Is this still an effective regiment for gonorrhea and / or chlamydia, NGU, etc.? Are there particular cases or reasons for the patients where this treatment has started to fail? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Since 8 months I'm struggling with antibiotics resistance Chlamydia I'm on a cocktail antibiotics still the symptoms persists?
Avatar n tn No. The new STAT-C meds can be used in combination with SOC drugs (peginterferon & ribavirin) for those who previously failed SOC treatment and want to try again to achieve SVR. These patients will have a better chance of SVR with the new meds.
Avatar n tn Anyone have a good opinion on best antibiotics combo for across the board prevention of the bacterial STDs. What I mean is say u were exposed to something potentially risky and figure i may as well take post-exposure antibiotics. Which are gram positive STDS. Which are G negative. What combo is best to take care of everything non-viral?
Avatar f tn Hi 15 days is ok for retesting
Avatar m tn When I started prophylactic treatment with acyclovir, I saw a reduced occurrence for a few months, then they came back to about 4-5 outbreaks/year. I recently switched prophylactic medication from acyclovir to famciclovir, and had a 18-month period free from outbreak. Come yesterday, I had another terrible outbreak (worse than usual)... will these become more commonplace now? Is this a sign of HSV-resistance to the drug? Are there any other courses of action I can consider?
Avatar m tn Hi, I had a gum abcess that needed 3 courses of antibiotics. Finally the lower right molar was extracted as this was the origin of the infection. This was 4 days ago but the abcess is still there and I have some throbbing pain in the lower jaw and ear on that side. The extraction site has white spots beside it.
Avatar m tn 47 y/o male here... thinking of ordering antibiotics online for the purpose of preventing the spread of any bacterial infection I might acquire from receiving oral sex. Cipro (500mg, single dose immediately after the "event") and Zithromax are my first considerations, but I'm having trouble finding "Z" in a single 1g (single dose treatment)... only 500mg 1. Is antibiotic use, as a preventative measure, effective? 2.
Avatar m tn In that case your chances of catching anything are slim, furthermore taking antiobiotics for absolutely no reason can increase your resistance to antibiotics. So when/if you REALLY need to take them one day they might not work.
Avatar f tn I know that some STD are resistant to certain antibiotics. What antibiotics are the best for STD treatment?
Avatar n tn I had a UTI months back I was given erythromycin streate, i completed my 1 week dose, got better for a while as my chills were gone. A week later my treatment my urethra starting burning me like it was imflammed. I redid a culture. test result came back with traces of leukocyte, few epithelial cells, pus cells 0 - 2 she said i was okay but am not really, guys please any suggestions?
Avatar n tn s why I like to have a definite diagnosis before I just take antibiotics for something, since then the most appropriate antibiotics can be taken, and a second test can be taken later to ensure that the treatment was successful. Then again, I'm not sure why you're asking this question. From your other posts, it seems like you don't really have anything, and you're just curious.
Avatar n tn How long it takes to treat Chlamydia and Gonorrhea with antibiotics.
1661682 tn?1313135396 Some people have urinary tract infections that keep coming back or that do not go away with treatment called chronic UTIs, if you have a chronic UTI you may need antibiotics for many months, or stronger antibiotics may be prescribed... and some UTIs are resisitant to certain antibiotics which can be tested through a urine culture...but its hard to know for sure unless you talk to your Dr and unfortunately pregnancy and UTIs can go hand in hand for some women...
Avatar f tn Penicillin was a miracle, but eventually doctors had to use more and more to kill the bug. Still, a shot of penicillin remained the treatment of choice until 1985, when rising resistance to penicillin, and the fact that many people are allergic to it, forced health officials to give other antibiotics their turns. But as they did, strains of the bacteria morphed to make the antibiotics less effective.
Avatar m tn s not the reccomended treatment because of resistance... My question is will the treatment my doctor prescribed actually cure me or will I need to get the injection?? It's currently 3 days since I took the tablets and there is still some discharge but it is clear now instead of yellow - is that a sign that the antibiotics are working?
