Avatar f tn The Urologist was unsure of the cause and prescribed me doxycycline 100mg tablets twice a day for a month and had an ultrasound done. I have now finished my medication but am still experiencing UTI like symptoms. My appointment to return to the urologist is in a week and am still waiting on the results of the ultrasound. Just need some advice or information on what's going on with me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Update: So after convincing myself it was a UTI(which is very rare for a 25yo male), I finally saw my doctor yesterday. They ran tests on me including bloodwork and sure enough I tested positive for chlamydia AGAIN even though I havent engaged in any sexual activity since I was treated the first time. So they gave me a shot of Rocephin and I believe 2 grams of Flagyl on the spot. I also was prescribed a 7 day course of Doxy.
Avatar f tn I believe I caught it 2 weeks previous when I slept with a new guy. My symptoms were uti Symptoms and a bit of yellowish discharge. I took 1000 mg of azithromycin, but it seemed to do nothing. I called and got sent macrobid thinking it was a lingering uti caused by the chlamydia. This also did nothing. I went back to a clinic and got retested positive for chlamydia again 2 weeks later. Took azithromycin again with no relief.
Avatar m tn Ive been slightly paranoid about it being herpes, I have slight redness in sme areas, but nothing resembling a herpes blisters, and I dont know if a outbreak could last this long without hardcore blisters. Maybe a false negative came up for gonoreah or chlamydia,maybe all the antibiotics Im on had affected some of the test the doctors did.
Avatar m tn However he did have me provide another urine sample for a urine culture as this was never done. He gave me a RX for Bactrim TMP-DS tablets, twice daily for 7 days. In my thread with Dr. Hook he indicated that my symptoms were compatible with NGU. When I brought this up with my PCP he wasn't even familiar with the acronym which I find somewhat disturbing (!?).
Avatar m tn UTI is not a STD, try posting a UTI question in uriology. We don't deal with UTI's here.
Avatar f tn Is it possible that the azithromycin didn’t work or is this possibly a UTI? My doc has told me to come back after 3 months for a chlamydia retest but should I go now? I took azithromycin on March 16.
Avatar f tn I was initially diagnosed with uti and took bactrim for 4 days before I couldnt take the pain from going to bathroom. Any thoughts advice would be great.
Avatar n tn thanks for the help my girlfreind went to the dr and was told she did have a uti that there was blood in her urine. i have started having some itching around the head of my penis and i fell like i am urinating more than usalluy. do i have reason to worry or is it just my mind playing tricks. also we each took about 2 grams azithromycin we had not sex while on the medication but had it a couple days after medication was taken. would that have cured anything?
Avatar m tn It it that have taken azithromycin with is to cure chalmydia and gonnerea and not for UTI? How effective is it for UTI 2> I am still facing with semisolid stools. The frequency of going to stools is from 1 to 3 times max in a day? what the reason? 3> The burring in also after mastrubation and i do not have any burning while i am passing urine? 4> From past two days i am feeling cold in my penis / scrotum and both thigh near the groin area. 5> No pain while passing urine or stools?
Avatar m tn I want to mention here that I have taken 1mg azithromycin as a single dose and then again after like 9 days when I felt that infection is lingering I took 2mg azithromycin again as a single dose. I waited for a week and then I visited the doctor again and told him I feel that infection is not totally gone some of it is still lingering as I still feel mild pain and irritation in testicles on one side. I asked him if there are any tests I could do to find out the problem.
Avatar f tn You definitely need to follow up with a provider and have some vaginal cultures and urine cultures done. You could have a persistent UTI or it could be chlamydia or even a bacterial vaginosis that is not responsive to the antibiotics prescribed. It is important to know that STDs, yeast, or e coli are the most common causes of UTIs. The culture will let your physician know what antibiotics to prescribe based on the results. Sorry I am not of more help!
Avatar m tn I was given a pee test and then prescibed 10 days of Cipro 500 mg twice a day. I do not think they tested me for any stds but i was diagnosed with a UTI. My question is that since i have not had any discharge of any type and also no sores of any type...could i possibly be looking at trich?
Avatar f tn I've been having unprotected vaginal sex with a female. 15days ago I got minor amounts of whitish discharge coming from the tip of my penis, it was followed by stinging at tip of penis and mild burning/discomfort after peeing. I went and got an STI screening (urine test) (3rd day after initial symptoms), Came back negative for all sti's tested by urine, i also was told its Not a UTI. My partner has no symptoms.
Avatar f tn About a week ago, I started having burning and pain when I peed, so I went to the doctor suspecting a UTI. They told me that I did not have sufficent nitrates in my urine to say it was a UTI so they gave me a pap and told me they thought it was either Chlamydia or Gonorrhea. They perscribed a single dose of 500mg Cipro and 4 250mg (1000mg) of Azithromycin (I could be spelling that wrong).
Avatar m tn Hi, HIV is not an issue with what you did so take that out of the equation. You might have contracted a UTI from the oral which is a bacterial infection for mouth saliva. It takes a few days for the meds to work so just let them to there job. If you have a long term partner, you might want to get tested for herpes and syphilis for the protection of them.
Avatar m tn i went to a clinic and the doctor asked me if i have any discharge and i said no and i told him every detail of my story and he said it might be gonorrhea but he said unlikely since i have no discharge and prescribed me with ofloxacin for UTI, 7 days twice a day orally. after taking my medication for 3 days i felt a lot better and thought i was cured but after finishing my medication, maybe after 3 days the symptoms returned.
Avatar f tn The only symptoms I have ever experienced were burning in the vagina and urethra. I went back to the dr again. Negative for a UTI, positive chlamydia. This time we were given a 7 day course of doxycycline. I finished the course and still continued to experience the burning symptoms. No improvement whatsoever. We were given azithromycin again, this time in the form of two pills. I took the azithromycin on Tuesday. It's now Saturday. The burning has persisted.
Avatar n tn It's a positive test. And azithromycin is the antibiotic or chlamydia.
Avatar m tn 3) Is it worth while to insist that a doctor prescribe Azithromycin as a preventive measure, even though I am asymptomatic, the woman is asymptomatic and the initial test came back negative. 4) I have read that one should not undergo a Herpes test without symptoms because it can yield "false positives" especially if one has had a cold sore in the past. Is this accurate?
Avatar f tn I was tested for Chlamydia which came back positive, My doctor gave me the one dose of Azithromycin . Its been a two weeks since I took the pills, and I'm having loose stools which it hasn't stop since I took the pose. Also I have a burning sensation on my vagina when I pee. About a week ago I had some white little dots on my vagina which have dissapear. My doctor says I have a UTI. But im still worried that It may be something else. Should I be tested for something else?
Avatar f tn Charlieboy504, I have the same symptoms. I took Azithromycin 500 x a week to no avail. Did you get a diagnose? What was the treatment?
Avatar m tn have they checked your prostate yet to see if you have prostatitis? at this point all you can do is continue to be seen by the urologist when you have symptoms. at this point you've had a heck of a lot of antibiotics thrown at you needlessly :( your upset stomach and bowel issues are probably all related to antibiotics. If you like yogurt, eat a container of it 2-3x/day for the next week.
Avatar n tn I'm 21 years old and pretty healthy besides getting frequent UTI's and yeast infections after sexual intercourse. For the past 2 weeks, I've had symptoms of a UTI. I've had plenty UTI's in the past, so I know what they feel like. My symptoms over the past few days have progressed and gotten much worse, so I decided to go an Urgent Care today. The Urgent Care took a urine culture and it came back negative for a UTI.
Avatar f tn i told them my symptoms and they examined and tested me and gave me a 7 days dose of doxycycline for having a NGU. (Non gonococcal urithiritis) After seven days of dose with doxycycline, i was feeling better with no symptoms. And they gave me results next week that i was negative on gonorhea, chlamydia, syphilis and hiv. I went home back with a piece of mind and i promised myself that i will not do this again. As i am single, so its natural that i got sexual urge again.
