Azithromycin for uti
Common Questions and Answers about Azithromycin for uti
zithromax
I'm 23 years old, 1/22/18 I tested positive for Chlamydia after experiencing UTI like symptoms and was prescribed 2 azithromycin 500 mg tablets from planned parenthood. Symptoms disappeared but then reappeared 3 months later and I returned and tested positive again and was pescribed doxycycline 100mg tabs once a day for 7 days. After treatment my symptoms continued to persist and I worried that I was still not cured.
I went back to a clinic and got retested positive for chlamydia again 2 weeks later. Took azithromycin again with no relief. Went back another 2 weeks later to planned parenthood, she did a wet mount and said she saw white blood cells, so prescribed me doxycycline without running my urine since it could have been a false positive. Anyways, the doxycycline seemed to help the uti symptoms until it was finished, now I feel the same as before. Really confused???
I told him about the recommended therapy for NGU and had him RX me 1mg of Azithromycin which he told me that I could use "if I wanted to". However he wanted me to start Bactrim right away.
I feel somewhat left in a limbo. My concern is that I didn't get the right antibiotic and that any bacteria infection could spread throughout the system; kidneys etc.
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?
It it that have taken azithromycin with is to cure chalmydia and gonnerea and not for UTI? How effective is it for UTI

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?
I visited the doctor and he gave me azithromycin 1g. The pain was gone for 3 days after taking azithromycin but from the 4th day I started to feel that the discomfort and irritation was coming back Its been 9 days now and the pain in testicles is back but its not as intense as it was before i took the azithromycin, but i think the pain is growing everyday. I also want to mention that the doctor did not get me tested for chlamydia/gonorrhea as tests are not easily available in the country I am.
s and started experiencing symptoms such a urethral burning and pain while urinating several months ago. I took Macrobid that I already had at home assuming it was a UTI. The symptoms seemed to come and go. They worsened around April, and I was diagnosed with chlamydia. I'm not sure when I contracted, but I believe it's possible I had it for a few months before being diagnosed.
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.
I found out I had chlamydia in April after going to the doctor for what I thought seemed like UTI symptoms. I was given azithromycin in the drink form. Me and my boyfriend both drank the meds, abstained from sex for 8 days, and symptoms seemed to be cured.
In the past month or so I started noticing that the symptoms seemed to be returning. 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.
I still have pain in my right kidney that I usually have with chronic UTI. I am taking Cipro now for E. facelis but infection will not go away. It is too the point I don't want to have intercourse with my husband. Also did two months of oral macrobid and clarithomycin both I and my husband. Don't know what to do please advise. Chronic UTI have been present since four days into our marriage, always after intercourse times eleven years. I am allergic to sulfa and pcn.
It's a positive test. And azithromycin is the antibiotic or chlamydia.
5 days is probably more accurate) I got tested for chlamydia/gonorrhea using a urine test. The test came back negative. At the time I also asked the doctor if I should take azithromycin just to be extra sure but the doctor was hesitant to prescribe anything without symptoms and without a positive test. I have no reason to think I am infected, just being very paranoid. So my questions are as follows: 1) Is 3.5 - 4 days enough time for a chlamydia/gonorrhea test?
You would like to know if having taken 2 250mg azithromycin pills would cause your urine chlamydial test to be negative if you had taken the azithromycin 12 hours before being tested for chlamydia. The answer is no. The tests for chlamydia test for chlamydial DNA so even if there were dead or dying chlamydia present, they would have been detected. You should believe the results of your test.
Azithromycin is commonly known for giving people diarrhoea- even up to two weeks later. If you have a burning sensation it could just be residual irritation from the chlamidya- but I would get a urine sample checked to be sure.
Little white dots would have to be examined by a nurse or doctor.
So basically I was wondering if I do test positive would I have to take another round of Azithromycin? Or should I ask them for Doxycycline? Also if the test comes back negative could I still be given another round of antibiotics for the symptoms?
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?
So, all the test on more time including UTI this time. He wrote a script for 1 gram of azithromycin, one dose. Just got the results back the second time and all negative again. Could the antibiotics have a caused a negative a second time? Don't I am glad to see negative results on STD's. My symptoms, felt like someone had thumped the head of my penis, tip was very sensitive. Maybe just a very little redness on the upper half, the doctor didn't notice it but I can see it.
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.
I took a shot of ceftriaxzone and a does of azithromycin and metronidizole. My test for chlamydia, trichomoniasis, and gonorrhea came back negative and 3 days later my symptoms persisted. I went back and was tested for the same again, as well as a urine culture- tested negative and no growth. I was given Doxycycline and taking for 3 days. Still having symptoms. No pain, no sores, mild irritation. What could this be??
So, I went to get a urine test for STD’s and a UTI. Both tests came out negative (tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea.) Like I said, I’ve only had one partner since my antibiotic in july, and she was screened for STD’s before we ever had sex and she had nothing. The doctor that tested me a second time told me that it was most likely Non-Gonnococal Urithritis (NGU). However, her diagnosis didn’t seem too confident.
It also is often misdiagnosed in men who actually have sexually acquired nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), which in turn can cause UTI-like symptoms in women. Further, cipro is not the best drug for NGU. If your treatment has not included a tetracycline antibiotic (such as doxycycline) or azithromycin (Zithromax), you might discuss this aspect with your doctor.
