I went to the doctor and he said it might be an infection of my urnairy tract system he prescribed me azithromycin 6 day medication. I think my anxiety is making it worst or overthinking. Does anyone feel the same?
This study concluded that azithromycin 1g single dose was quite effective in curing gonorrhea.
"This paper describes the efficacy of azithromycin 1g single dose in the management of uncomplicated gonorrhoea either with or without chlamydial co-infection. Three hundred and one patients were treated for gonorrhoea between January 2000 and June 2001; 226/301 (75.1%) were treated with azithromycin 1g stat dose while the rest were treated with different regimens. Ninety-seven of 301 (32.
i've had recurring urethritis for about 2 years now and don't seem to be getting anywhere. This latest bout started about 6 weeks ago and i left it for a while as the symptoms were mild - no burning just an occasional mild irritation in the middle of the urethra. It would feel like pressure or a tickle midway down.. I noticed I'm peeing a lot more and the urgency is definitely increased.
I went to the local GUM and was diagnosed with NSU.
36 hours ago I was given a full range of STD tests and given azithromycin for presumptive chlamydia. I'm a man (sex was vaginal/oral) and I have most of the typical symptoms of chlamydia (pain in urethra, testicles), MINUS discharge and PLUS persistent pain in my lower pelvis, around my bladder (I think). I've read that true UTIs in young men are quite rare. So, two questions: 1) Is pelvic pain in men a normal symptom of chlamydia, or an indication that something else is going on?
the antibiotics i took were azithromycin, oflox, cipro, and last doxy. all of them for 1 weeks 2 a days except for the azithromycin which was taken only once of 1g i believe. now after taking all this antibiotics, i still had frequent urination which was really crazy to the point i was thinking of killing myself. my quality of life was certainly diminished and took everything away from me.
I went to the doctor and got tested and as a precaution he gave me a shot of rocephin and 2 pills 500 mg of azithromycin. In a week my symptoms were gone but my tests for infection came back negative so i slept with the girl again and the next day my symptoms all came back. I've taken doxicyclin (one week), ciproflaxin(one week) and azithromycin(one week) with very little success. My symptoms seem to have went down a little with the azithromycin but have not left me.
If your partner had HSV (you do not know that she did and most likely she did not), the risk for infection from a single encounter is somewhere between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000. The risk of a false positve test is far, far higher. If you do not develop symptoms within two weeks of exposure you should be confident that you did not get herpes.
I hope these comments are helpful.
Ok, Im a 19 year old male who on july 17th gave and recieved oral and made out with another guy, about 2 or three days later I noticed frequent urination, pain in bladder, slight pain in genitals, and occasional redness on the genitals. I have not had any discharge or full on blisters.
m taking metronidazole 500mg for the BV for 7 days. I took the azithromycin on the evening of the 16th. I have to mention that today the discharge is almost nonexistant, whereas before it was obscene. My partner lives in another state, as soon as I received my results I told him to seek treatment.
I have another question. I missed my period which is very, very unusual. Could a missed period be due to the gonorrhea infection? My period is always early or right on time.
I have chronic pain. I have had my gall bladder removed, part of my small bowel removed (due to endometriosis), mesh put in my abdomen from a hernia and a hysterectomy. My last surgery was approx 3 years ago. Since then, I have had loose yellow bowel movements, chronic pain in my abdomen, shoulders, knees, feet and hands. Cymbalta helped but caused constipation. With that being said and the research I have done, my question is:
Is it possible that I have fibromyalgia?
If you have an infection vaginally, it can throw the delicate balance of good and bad bacteria, which can cause BV or yeast.
Azithromycin doesn't cure BV, so you'll need to talk to your doctor about it, and get a different medication.
Get checked though - don't try to treat yourself. You could have a yeast infection from the azithromycin - it's common to get a yeast infection from antibiotics - and that treatment is different than BV treatment.
Almost three weeks ago I started getting a discharge and a frequent urge to urinate with only small amounts coming out. At first I thought it was urinary and my doctor tested for a UTI. Nothing there, but put me on 5 days of cipro just in case. I went to get a ultrasound, no inflammation of the prostrate or bladder, all signs normal. My **** started burning and there was general irritation in the uretha, but no apparent blood in the ****.
Tested positive for Chlamydia and Bacterial Vaginosis. Doctor immediately put me on Metronidazole and single dose of Azithromycin. Before I started the treatments, there was white discharge and fishy odor but no urge to constantly pee even after I had just emptied my bladder. After treatments, the discharge and odor has gone away but I now have a constant urge to pee and when I go to pee it’s very little and there is very slight burning.
Welcome back to the Forum. Before I comment on your symptoms, let me assure you that they are not caused by chlamydia. Your probability of infection during the encounter you describe is minimal. The azithromycin you had last taken 2 days earlier would still be in your body and would prevent infection from occurring. You negative tests for chlamydia prove that you do not have chlamydia so this is not something you need be concerned about.
Hi, around 4 days ago I got sore throat following by a few mouth ucler (2 on the tongue). Then after 2 days (yesterday morning) my upper lip went a bit numb and really dry. Today the numbness is gone but still extremely dry no matter what I do. So in the afternoon I went to the doctor, and he told me I have an infection, didn't say anything else and prescribe me with "Azithromycin Monohydrate Tables". The problem is now my left eyes is completely red and a bit itchy.
The doses of azithromycin studies for treatment of chlamydia, NGU, and gonorrhea have been studied when the medication is taken as single doses. Thus, questions about doses taken at lower doses and on different schedules is difficult to answer and require estimation of their effectiveness as opposed to answers based firmly on scientific studies.
It is possible for your infection to be resistant to azithromycin, the typical treatment for NGU. The Augmentin will have no effect on chlamdia, which is what I think your doctor suspects you have. Go back into the doctor. He/she will most likely do a culture and sensitivity to identify the infectious organism as well as determine what antibiotic or combination of antibiotics will work best.
I had my gall bladder checked out 10 years ago and nothing was found. I coincidently have drank regulary for the same amount of time since I was 19. My liver function tests all come back normal, as I have one done every year, however, the last test a year ago showed a little elevated, in the high 40's. During an ultrasound fatty liver was discovered. I am also overweight.
That said, if you were tested with a reliable test and had a positive result, you had chlamydia. Azithromycin is thought to be highly effective for treatment of chlamydial infection although one recent report has suggested that the treatment failure rate may be increasing slightly (despite this, the vast majority of chlamydial infections will still be successfully treated with azithromycin).
Would this still be effective in treating a gonorrhea infection if one was present? I have recently read about Azithromycin resistance in gonococal bacteria.
Thank you Doctor.
