Avatar f tn Ive been on doxycycline for 3 1/2 days, and the discharge has not gone away at all.. may have even worsened. My vagina hurts excruciatingly every time I pee. How long till the pain and discharge goes away?
Avatar n tn How affective is doxycycline 100mg when taken for a period of seven days to cure infections and std's present in the body alone with a shot a penicillin.
Avatar m tn Thanks Vance. The Dr. called me today and recommended me to a urologist and switched me to cipro saying it really sounds more like a bad UTI and Cipro is stronger than doxycycline. He feels that the chances of me still having an STD are practically zero. I don't think it's herpes because it really isn't uncomfortable to urinate. I do have red inside my meatus/urethra and it is irritated for sure.
Avatar m tn I've tried to do a lot of searching before asking, but can't pin this down. I had not had any type of sexual contact for 8 months. Then, the week before Christmas, I had anal sex with a guy I didn't know when the condom broke. I was the top and he said we should just continue -- he said "I'm clean..." I now say "I'm stupid..." I have not had sex with anyone since. I will not ever have unprotected sex again!
Avatar n tn Thanks but by herpes being a viral infection and doxycycline is for bacterial infection. Would it still clear an herpe outbreak n 3 days.
Avatar m tn He took a swab test, urine sample and gave me 7 days of doxycycline 100mg x 2. I also went to a private clinic for an HSV blood test -- they said it was highly accurate and "would separate out any false positives/negatives". Both doctors said it did not look at all like herpes, but that if so it was most likely not the primary outbreak. The irritated feeling began to subside, but then I drank a beer and urinated.
Avatar m tn Now regarding herpes, if someone suspects herpes exposure, if I were to start on Valtrex within 24 hours, would this stop the virus from spreading or in other words kill it as so it cant spread any further. Same goes for taking Doxycycline stop all bacterials in there tracks prior to manifestation.
Avatar n tn Are herpes vesicles {when filled with fluid}, painful or painless? After they burst are the open sore painful or painless? Do the open sore weep? Can clear fluid filled vesicles on penis be reaction to yeast or Doxycycline?
Avatar m tn The nurse thought that I had Chlamydia and had me take Doxycycline for 7 days. The burning went away within a few days and I continued the course of Doxycycline. When I called two weeks later for my results, I was negative for chlamydia, syphilis, and gonorrhea. The burning returned later that week which was 4 weeks after sex. I went to my doctor and she did a urine analysis. I called yesterday and they said that nothing had grown in the culture so I didn't have any UTIs.
Avatar n tn Inever broke out into sores anywhere atleast that I noticed just this constant burning in genitals. My question is Would doxycycline affect herpes in this way. Or if I do have herpes might it be approaching the end of the initial outbreak. I had sex that occurrd on Saturday and started noticing symptoms on Monday. 6 days have now passed since the first symptoms.
Avatar m tn About 4 months ago I had protected sex with a sex worker and the condom broke (big mistake). The next day i wake up and my foreskin is swollen like 5x its normal size all the way around(I start freaking out). This subsided next day but then 2-3 weeks later a burning sensation appears at the tip of my penis and has been constant now for 4 months. I have had 2 very mild dribbling discharges and a big one after completion of leprofloxcin.
Avatar m tn 1 accorfing to my symptem, is that probably I got ( HSV1 2 or HPV warts, gonorrhea, chlamydia )orally? 2 If i was infected with any genital std, does it hurt my throat and respiratory tract area like the symptom i said? 3 If i get any std like (gonorrhea, chlamydia, hsv2) orally, will I have it in genital area too? does the symptom also appear on genital area? 4 I am having doxycycline, will the affect the result if I go for std test now? If yes, when is the good time for me to get std test?
Avatar m tn m starting to freak out a little bit. I have been on Doxycycline for about a week and it seems very slightly better; however, the irritation fluctuates from day to day. Please let me know if anyone has any advice.
Avatar m tn a week after my hernia surgery there was no catheter used but i tested negative for all stds but did not test for herpes but have no bumps or anything. however i have this stinging pain when i urinate during and after, I also notice white spots when I open the tip of my penis and clear discharge. and my urine stream for the 1st second doesnt come out right. i took azithromycine, metronidazole, and phenazopyridine. my urologist didn't want me to finish doxycycline or cephalexin.
Avatar n tn except for the rash i would have continued to think its prostitis. but now im worried that i have herpes. no discharge.
Avatar m tn I went to see a doctor and he gave me a single dose of Z-pack and 2 weeks worth of doxycycline. I then took blood and urine tests 10 days after the day i had oral sex. I am still waiting for the results. After 4 days of doxycycline, i noticed having diarrhea often and my urine was getting a little bit cloudy.
Avatar m tn I was Negative for the Herpes BUT Around the time I was waiting, I developed the Shingles (Herpes Zortex), which i thought were just inflamed hair follicles. I was given antivirul medication (Acyclovir) for the Shingles and Doxycycline Hyclate for Chlamydia (which the doctor assumed i may have). Im about to finish my last Doxycycline medicne and my testicles and penis still feel the same. I have had difficulty eating just barely this week. I noticed to have been feeling naseous.
Avatar m tn He prescribed Doxycycline 2 times a day for two weeks. I am still in the process of finishing that medicine. So my questions are thus: 1. Can ureaplasma urealyticum cause rashes? What would cause such a rash? 2. I am also worried about herpes. In my panic (of course) of being diagnosed with an STD, I started paying attention, especially since the rash had moved up towards my anus and I had started feeling uncomfortable.
Avatar f tn They came back negative for stds and uti. She prescribed him doxycycline for epididmytisis(hope i spelled that right). The pain in his testicles and the tingling went away. The stomach pain continued. After completing the medication he noticed spots(not really bumps) on his penis. He went to see a different doctor. That morning his lips were dry and cracked. This one said that the stomach pain was acid reflux. And ordered a blood test for herpes. It came back positive for hsv2.
Avatar n tn I looked through the blood tests and noticed that it did not test for herpes. Discussed the issue with my doctor and he said unless if there was an outbreak, it's very difficult to detect, and he doesn't think that I have herpes and whatever I have will go away on its own. Just in case, he prescribed a week's worth of doxycycline. I finished the doxycycline and it didn't resolve the burning sensation problem.
Avatar n tn I have read all of your post concerning this topic and believe I know the answer but still need verification. I fingered(finger insertion into vagina) a stripper at a strip club and she sucked on my fingers. I know on most of the post you say that there is a low risk for std transmission of any sort. Then on one I read it stated 'there is theoretically a chance for herpes or syphillis". Then on another one it said there has been cases of gon.
Avatar n tn i had painless blisters around the trunk of my penis and also in my pubic hair area for 2mos. after taking medication of doxycycline antibiotic it went away. I don't know what kind of infection i got, is it syphilis, herpes or hpv? until now its been a year already and thanks God the blisters are not coming back but im still worried is there any medication i should take to really clear me out if incase there's still virus or bacteria in me? PLEASE HELP! Thanks so much.....
Avatar m tn I talked to a doctor again and just gave blood for genital herpes. I was Negative for the Herpes BUT Around the time I was waiting, I developed the Shingles (Herpes Zortex), which i thought were just inflamed hair follicles. I was given antivirul medication (Acyclovir) for the Shingles and Doxycycline Hyclate for Chlamydia (doctor said I MAY have it) . I noticed to have been feeling naseous but it started while under taking 2 different medications.
Avatar m tn Now regarding herpes, if someone suspects herpes exposure, if I were to start on Valtrex within 24 hours, would this stop the virus from spreading or in other words kill it as so it cant spread any further. Same goes for taking Doxycycline stop all bacterials in there tracks prior to manifestation.
Avatar n tn t take care of it we will take a sample cause it could be Venereal Warts but i also have 3 blister looking bumps there clear and no itching or fever no symptoms that result to herpes but they are there and bug me there is just little white dots around the base and some on shaft of penis and on the bottom there is the blisters they have subsided a little but i was wondering if this could also be herpes i have had no symptoms for any of these other than the blisters and little white dots that look
Avatar m tn First off, you shouldn't even medicate yourself for you may not know whether or not you actually contracted a std. You don't know if you are treating for the right std too. There has to be a certain measure of medication and type of medicine in order to help you get better if you happen to have a std. Second, unprotected oral is low risk but certainly not a no risk situation. You may get gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes. HIV has not been known to be contracted through oral sex.
Avatar f tn Both doctors have said that i dont need to get tested for herpes because i have absolutely no lesions or sores, but I am just insanely anxious and curious as to whether or not, 1: I should get tested for hsv2, and 2: If i had herpes if it would be possible for me to have all these genital symptoms and aches and pains without any lesions or sores? A good answer would be much appreciated, thank you.
