Avatar m tn Went to the doctor because of odd symptoms maybe like a month and a half after i contracted the disease and tested positive for chlamydia, negative for everything else. They gave me 4 pills to take all at once (azithromicin) i believe and 1 pill for gonorreha just in case. Symptoms did not go away. Got retested a month after, chlamydia tested positive again. They prescribed me Levofloxacin for 7 days, 1 pill a day, of which i took the last pill monday. Today we are wednesday.

Avatar m tn 2 weeks after the last injection the microbioligal sample was negative, but DNA showed gardnerella vaginalis and I took 7 days Levofloxacin. Symptoms persist. I was tested for: * Urine DNA Chlamydia test negative * Urethral swab DNA for Trichomonas, ureaplasma and micoplasa - negative I went to a surgeon for hemorroids who did prostate massage and told me I had problems with the prostate, but 2 months before that my prostate was normal in size on echograph.
Avatar m tn I was given azithromycin for 6 days, ciprofloxacin for 5 days and flagyl ovules. I felt fine after the treatment and my doctor told me i did not have chlamydia. My life went on, i only was experiencing a mild yellowish discharge but i didn't really bother about that (too bad, my mistake). My symptoms came back in june, this time with painful urination. I did not have intercourse between the two periods.

Avatar m tn 2) Hard lump in the left testicle from 4 days ago until about today. (I went to the doctor and started levofloxacin, 100mg x3 a day for over 7 days. I live in Japan, so yes, this dosage is 100% correct. I read somewhere that people thought this dosage is not possible). I've been checking all day and it really seemed to have disappeared, but the testicle is still weak and sensitive, so maybe it's possible that 1.
Avatar f tn Go potty after intercourse. Some people are more prone to UTI's I get them after intercourse if I don't go potty afterwards.for chlamydia. Oflaxacin/Levofloxacin for you and your partner. Abstain from intercourse for 7 day's during treatment of chlamydia.
Avatar m tn The Gram stain helps to make a rapid diagnosis but it is not specific for chlamydia. Some patients with chlamydia have negative gram stains and only about 40% of persons with gram stains suggestive of chalmydial infection turn out to have chlamydial infection (the others have a variety of other things). As I said, your partner was not treated in the manner recommended by the CDC, the World helth Organization and by nearly every professional organization.
Avatar f tn I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement. My significant other has been suffering from mid month spotting from a low dose pill for months, however this month it is heavier and longer like a full fledged period. Any ideas on what is going on? The only thing I can come up with is a false negative for chlamydia on the initial test.
Avatar n tn If you indeed have one of these infections, however, the combination of levofloxacin and azithromycin is likely to cure you and your partner. Levofloxacin is not recommended in pregnancy, but azithromycin alone is likely to be effective. Since you have already treated yourself and your symptoms are improving, perhaps nothing more need be done. But you should not assume an STD was the cause of the problem.
Avatar m tn He said there is a chance for me to acquire chlamydia, gu, other ngu and herpes. He gave me some antibiotics (Levofloxacin 250mg x 2 for 7 days) to take care of any potential UTI and told me to monitor my penis in the coming time (didn't say for how long) for any herpes symptoms. I was kind of relieved after seeing your posts here. But since I have been told I am at risk it will be nice to get a second opinion from an expert.
Avatar m tn My urine was dipped and reported to have no elevated WBC. It was also sent out for a standard culture and came back negative. I do know however, this is not considered a good test for Chlamydia. I'm just looking for a little insight if anyone can help.
Avatar m tn I tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV and all tests have been negative and I do not have any discharge...just aching. Is Levofloxacin prescribed for NGU and epidimitis? I apologize for so many questions, but I've always been a healthy person so I'm pretty concerned. Also, with all my blood work being normal is it still possible to have an infection? Thanks!
Avatar m tn I immediately went to see an urologist, after telling him everything, he gave me a shot of Ceftriaxone at the center vein of the right arm and prescribed me two pills, Azee 500mg and Levofloxacin 750mg, 5 tablets each over 5 days after lunch(azee) and before sleep(levofloxacin). Today is the second day of my course and the burning sensation while urinating has reduced from before but the eyes still stay red throughout the day.
Avatar f tn I took them and started to feel slightly better, but the he called me a few days later and said my STD test came back positive for Chlamydia. He prescribed me (4) 250mg Azithromycin. I took those, and my symptoms started to clear. A few days went by and I felt fine. Then I started to get sharp pains in my left testicle. I saw my doctor again and he told me that the chlamydia most likely spread to my testicular region. He prescribed me with a 10 day Doxycycline.
Avatar m tn t by the timeframe of last genital sexual contact, and that I took BOTH doxycyclien and levofloxacin which are effective against Chlamydia trachomatis. But I just want to ask here to see what you guys think about the symptoms related to my testes. Thanks in advance! (and sorry for the long post) P.S. I have had another partner before, to whom I gave and received oral sex. Last exposure was 147 days ago.
Avatar m tn m on the medication, azithromycin dosage is over and 2 tablets left for levofloxacin, and my eye redness has reduced a bit and the burning during urination reduced a bit too but not completely gone. What i want to know is:- 1.Will this antibiotic course be enough to cure my conjunctivitis? 2.Should I be taking antibiotic eye drops as well? 3.should i go see an ophthalmologist? 4.My vision gets a bit blurred at times, but washing with water or blinking a few times fixes it.
Avatar m tn I went to see the doctor and found out Chlamydia from the swab test. I was given cetriaxone 1 gm IV and doxycycline 500 mg. after a week symptoms did not resolve and I started getting pain in my testicles. I got tested again and I was positive with chlamydia. Doctor asked me to continue with doxycycline for a week and gave me 1 gm of azithromycin. Moreover asked me to take 500 mg azythromycin for 7 days. It did not resolve the problem and I finally decided to see the expert.

Avatar f tn I called my family doctor and she has now prescribed me with 10 days of levofloxacin and has requested that I go in for a urine test to check for chlamydia or gonorrhoea. I also had sex with my girlfriend about 4 days ago before I felt the symptoms return after I had finished my doxy - she has not shown symptoms of anything this entire time. PS.
Avatar m tn I went to urologist on the 1st day and he gave me cravit levofloxacin for 5 days hence am still under medication. I told him that i had unprotected sex last week (6 days before i went to doctor) and he suggested me to take that medication first and perform another urine test afterwards. Based on own research, there are 3 main possibilities: -Chlamydia -Gonorrhea -Urethritis Could anyone advise or happen to hav the same symptom before? NB: i do not see any green or yellow discharge.
Avatar n tn Do I have anything to worry about? As I said I contracted chlamydia before even with the use of a condom and I have had a reaction to condoms before, but not 4 days after, sounds more akin to an STD to me. What should I do next? Please help. Thanks.
Avatar m tn I read about Mycoplasma and it might be the reason in case of absence of chlamydia and gonorrhea. I am so concerned and confused about what the reason of all this and whether it is an STD considering the timing(3 weeks after safe sex with prostitute). Do you have any explaination kr advice? I am in serious relation and planning to have kid. Should I wait?
Avatar f tn s that september and the tests came back fine. just recently i tested positive for chlamydia and i took 4 pills for it last week but funny thing: my urine is still cloudy! is this something i should be worried about because its been cloudy on and off for sometime and im worried that my reproductive organs may be at risk. i've been practically drowning myself in water and it only goes away a little bit. what's going on?
Avatar n tn Alternates to doxycycline are various flouroquinalone antibiotics like Ofloxacin and Levofloxcian. These are effective against chlamydia and should be tolerated by your allergies. Not having insurance can be tough, but these antibiotics should be equally priced to doxy.
Avatar n tn This infection can be suspected when there are symptoms of UTI and urinalysis detects pus cells and blood but no bacteria, and standard culture grows no organism. There are a few treatment regimens for Chlamydia; these include Azithromycin 1 g single dose, or doxycycline 100 mg twice daily for 7 days, or levofloxacin 500 mg once daily for 7 days, etc. All these regimens are administered orally.
Avatar f tn I went into a walk in clinic and was given clarithromycin cause he thought i had strep throat which ended up giving me severe diarrhea 4 days into the treatment and I stopped taking it, but the day I stopped taking it i went and got checked for strep throat, gonorrhoea and chlamydia and all tests were negative. About a week ago I've been feeling discomfort in my anus region which could be an anal fissure as i was constipated and had a larger bowel movement about 2-3 weeks ago.
