On the other hand, if your doctor thinks that you have prostatitis, ciprofloxacin is good therapy for prostatitis (prostatitis is not caused by chlamydia).
If you had chlamydia, which is unlikely, cipro however could mask its presence.
Hope this clarifies things.
I was prescribed ciprofloxacin to treat what might be suspected as prostatitis following the STD. I took ciprofloxacin for approx two months. I had to stop taking ciprofloxacin due to side effects. The symptoms have since continued, and I have almost daily pain in my pelvic floor region.
The pain feels like my pelvic floor region is tightening up and pulling the scrotum and penis inwards. Around the anus it feels hot and tight. The whole area feels 'pinched' and sore.
Yeah along with a 7 to 10 day course of Doxy for Chlamydia.
I’ve had chlamydia since 24 days ago and i’ve been taking atibiotics all the time (ciprofloxacin 5 days,azithromycin 2 days and doxycyline 15 days).Chlamydia may be gone but sometimes i feel a slight pain on my testicles.I read on the internet and saw that it could be epididymitis.What do you think?Can it be?What treatment should i take?
Is the antibiotic ciprofloxacin effective to treat chlamydia? If so, what dosage?
I am on amoxicillin + Ciprofloxacin from last 8 days now (for bacterial diagnosed on my penis) .
Now, I want to re-test for all STD's . Can anyone please help me to let me know which tests will be effected as I am on antibiotics from 8 days and when should I get re-test if any STD effected by this medicine.
I want to test for CBC, HIV, HSV1,2, HEPATITIS A,B,C, SYPHILIS, CHLAMYDIA, GONNORHEA. Or any other std test if I should have ?
Symptoms disappeared almost immediately. Swab test came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Blood test also returned negative.
On day 8, I experienced a return of symptoms. Very warm sensation behind and (seemingly) in the testicles. Also a thin discharge and frequent urination. Testicles remained warm (and very low hanging) but not as warm as on day 8. Urologist prescribed Cipro (250mg 2x/day 10 days). Did not alleviate the symptoms.
I recently was at a strip club and while receiving a lap dance I tongue kissed the stripper, licked n sucked her nipples, and finger'd her. I was under the influence of alcohol, and forgot that I had a canker sore on the bottom of my lower lip while kissing her. In addition while she was giving me a handjob I had a rather painful ejaculation. A day or two later It burns when i urinate, and I'm havin pain on the tip of my penis.
When you failed treatment, did you have a positive test for chlamydia and how long following treatment was it? Studies have shown that the debris from dead chlamydia can remain present for up to 3 weeks, causing falsely positive tests. I ask to try to determine if you clearly failed treatment or whether something else might be going on.
2. Having taken both azithromycin and doxycycline, there are no STDs that ciprofloxacin would be reliably expected to take care of.
Discharge is cleared but lower abdominal pain en testicular pain still there! Today got ciprofloxacin perscribed for a week! Any info would be highly appreciated!!
No pain during urination and no discharge. I got tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea and HIV RNA at day 5 and day 13 after possible exposure and both came back negative. My symptoms started happening 5 days after my last sexual encounter. It has been 3 weeks with this pain now. I sometimes also feel my legs/feet hot and with some pain the back of my legs and buttocks. I am worried that I have something more serious but I cannot find information about STDs with my type of symptoms.
He diagnosed prostatitis and put me on ciprofloxacin for 10 days. He also did urinalysis and nothing came up reactive. WBC normal. Everything normal. So my question is, is my condition likely prostatitis or should I be concerned with an NGU that is not chlamydia? I have a girlfriend who I am concerned about spreading something to. Many thanks!
I have swollen/retracted testicles with pain in the back of them which sometimes I can feel in my legs/buttocks. I also have some pain in urethra but no pain during urination and also no discharge. I have been taking Ciprofloxacin but hasn't really helped. I'm getting frustrated. Took chlamydia/gonohrrea/trich vaginosis after 5 days of protected sex with a girl I don't know much and all came back negative.
Hello,
If you are a male, and after a sexual encounter, you have developed symptoms consistent with chlamydia and gonnorhea, and all commonly tested for STD’s are negative, demand that you be tested to mycoplasma genitalium. If you have been through the gambit of doctors, from urologists to infectious disease, and no matter the antibiotic thrown at you, you never get better, demand that you get tested for mycoplasma genitalium.
The problem with blood tests for chlamydia is that they don't tell you exactly which chlamydia bacteria you are positive for, and there is more than one. One causes pneumonia, for example.
I can't advise you to treat or not, but perhaps your wife should be tested.
This might be a good question for the doctor's forum, if you feel like paying $15 USD.
After I explained my symptoms he gave me one dose of 1000 mg Azithromycin and 500 mg Ciprofloxacin for 7 days, as he assumed that I have Chlamydia and Gonorrhea but we didn’t take any test. 48 hours later the discharge and muscle pain disappeared, but my throat was still sore and my tongue white-yellow and my lymph node under my jaw got swollen as well and I felt discomfort on the head of my penis and testicles.

But the doctors that it was because of exams DST never put your chances of having chlamydia and gonorrhea orally, after a few months I had an infection in the lungs. My doctor passed to me to take 7 days Ciprofloxacin 500 mg, 3 days Azithromycin 1g. I have not been diagnosed with any of these diseases, I think it was because he did not request a test for gonorrhea or chlamydia in the throat. After my medication my symptoms disappeared after 4 to 5 days later.
m sure you can safely stop the ciprofloxacin (ciprofloxacin was the wrong treatment for NGU anyway). As uncomfortable the symptoms have been for you, there will be no lasting harm.
Thanks again for your question. Let me know if anything isn't clear.
In any case, with the medication taken above with the ciprofloxacin for 10 days. Would I be covered for chlamydia, gonorrhea, trich? Should I ask for those tests when I go back for the for the followup or would the antibiotics really skew the results?
Am I just overreacting?
He did a urine test and swab and i as given azithromycin and apo-ciproflox to treat both gonorhhea and chlamydia befor the results came in and i tested neg for both, then i started having trouble urinating, so i wnet to the doctor and he said my prostate felt a bit full so i was given ciprofloxacin. the symptoms cleared up and todays is april 26. Well this morning i was urinating and at the end of the urination(after the urine stopped) i saw a white discharge? Could i know what exactly this is?
Then I panicked and ran to the nearest pharmacy and and took 1g of Zithromax, 400mg of Cefixime and 2x500g of Ciprofloxacin. I am planning to take additionally 500mg of Ciprofloxacin 2x daily.
My questions are now 1) Are these treatments effective so soon after potential exposure or do I have to wait and see if I get symptoms and then repeat the treatment? 2) Will these treatments generally cure Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Syphills or do I need others?
