Avatar n tn My concern is trich, its not common in uk but i have read its difficult to detect in men and women dont have symptoms commonly. With this I took 7 days of metronidazole 400mg twice a day and no relief. My question is can I rule trich out now? I read metronidazole is not always effective. Thanks for this great service.
Avatar f tn The doctor prescribed me a mega dose of the metronidazole and said I should feel better in 24 hours. I did NOT feel better in 24 hrs I waited a week because everything online kept telling me the symptoms could take a week to subside but when they didn’t I called my doctor and she prescribed me another mega dose. This one did absolutely nothing but make my symptoms worse my cervix hurt so bad.
Avatar m tn I feel that what you did was the right thing to do because I went to the clinic and was told I had trich and my doctor told me to tell my sex partner to go get treated fro trich because long as I have and he and I we sexually active he automatically have it to and it will not show up in men it only shows up in females
Avatar m tn By midday I could feel a twinge in my urethra (I have had NGU before and it felt like this), by the evening I knew there was something not right. The next day the pain in my urethra as worse. I assumed it was NGU again and have gotten anti-biotics from my doctor. But now I read that STD's dont show up that fast- my symptom started within 12 hours, even less maybe. There is no discharge at all, no real itchiness, just a mild constant pain in my penis.
Avatar n tn I am taking Metronidazole for BV and Penicillan for strep throat but my partner and I have been trying to have sex and I have no sex drive is that affecting it?
Avatar n tn I took the 1shot dose of metronidazole monday. i had sex unprotected friday and sunday.
Avatar n tn A few months ago I had unprotected vaginal\anal sex with a woman. Within a few days I had a lot of discomfort in my urethra and minor, clear discharge with no odour. I'm in the UK so went to the local GUM clinic, I've been tested for everything under the sun and all tests are negative. One swab test did show some pus cells so I was treated with Ofloxacin for 2 weeks which made no difference to my symptoms.
Avatar m tn Now that I have started metronidazole should I just stop on the 4th day, and wait for the new doxycycline plus metronidazole regime? That is, will taking another 3 days of it without the doxycycline make me build up a resistance to it or should I stay the course and see if another 3 days helps. I'm concerned about the testing I'm receiving (and confusing results) and it perhaps has alot to do with communicating with non-native English speakers( us not understanding each other).
Avatar n tn She used the Metronidale gel for 5 days and her symptoms disappeared. I took Metronidazole 500 mg PO q12h x 7 days. I thought I started to feel better toward the 6th day, but still with some urge to urinate and discomfort. Then, about 3-4 days later, my discomfort was even worse then before. The urge to urinate was constant, discomfort in the urethra, and I felt as if my perineum hurt (swollen Prostate?), & scrotum burning. The clinic prescribed Tinidazole 2g for 5 days as a follow-up.
Avatar m tn 8-31-2011- I went to Std clinic where I was given Metronidazole and I left a urine sample. I had made the appointment one week earlier and that was the earliest that they could see me and since I still had symptoms I made sure to go back. I stopped taking Ciprofloxacin on this day, per the advice of the Doctor at the clinic, and started taking Metronidazole twice a day for 7 days which I am currently taking.
Avatar m tn IV doses of both metronidazole and tidazole have not been shown to increase their effectiveness. Oral dosing is still preferred as the treatment route. High doses of these drugs can be toxic. If you have a resistent strain of trichomonas, there are ,unfortunately, no good further options for treatment. Some trichomonas infections will resolve over time. I wish you luck with this.
Avatar f tn treatment for 5 days is more reliable. And in men, tinidazole appears to be more effective than metronidazole. You and your partner should discuss these aspects with your doctor. I hope this has helped.
Avatar f tn I visited the doctor Monday with a vaginal infection and was given Metronidazole to start taking. I went back for results Wednesday and I was confirmed to have BV. My doctor then gave me Erythromycin to take (2, twice a day)... as well as the Metronidazole (3, three times a day). This seems like an awful lot of antibiotics. Why was I given Erythromycin, when from as far as I can tell, Metronidazole alone is the recommended treatment for BV? Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks!
Avatar n tn I am about to finish metronidazole 750mg x 7 days. i am wondering how long it should take for all symptoms to be gone?
Avatar f tn Although rare, a small proportion of trich are resistant to metronidazole and tinidazole and it would be good to close this loop, making sure that the treatment you both took worked. 3. It sounds like you have been checked for signs of inflammation in your urine or a smear from your penis, is this correct? This would be a check for white blood cells (WBCs). If not done, it should be. If this is negative, there is little chance that there is persistent inflammation. 4.
Avatar m tn Almost all trichomonas infections in men are entirely asymptomatic, and men usually know they have it only when a female partner gets infected. Rarely it can cause nongonococcal urethritis (NGU), with urethral discharge and/or uncomfortable urination. It probably can linger for years. Nothing shows up in urinalysis or routine culture. Happily, trich is harmless in men and usually not serious in women either.
Avatar n tn I went and saw sexual clinit today, they took my blood, sperm, and urine samples and asked me to wait for a while. In next 10 minutes they were up with result that I have NSU. I learnt what NSU is on internet. But, I am not satisfied with the medicine they have provided, this is what I got from them: 1. Doxycycline 2.
Avatar n tn The reason for the recommendation is that a substantial proportion of men with NGU also have co-existent infection with trichomonas. Trichomonas is difficult to diagnose in men but can certainly be a cause of persistent discharge and symptoms. I suspect this will help. Good luck.
Avatar n tn at first i didnt bother it but after my medication in soar throat and allergy(urcatitaria), my vagina started to became itchy and again, everyday i started having green discharged for `1 week. i went to a gynecologist and she prescribed me a metronidazole miconazole vaginal suppository and ive used that for `1 week.. now what my problem is, my white discharge had stop.. i am also currently taking up medice for my UTI and had experiexed sex but that was like long time ago...
Avatar f tn Metronidazole can cause diarrhea as a side effect. But it may be also working on the infective cause of your dog's illness in the first place, so don't stop it without speaking to your vet. Meanwhile keep your dog hydrated. If you can find an unflavoured electrolyte drink like Pedialyte that would be great. Plain water would do for a short time but Pedialyte would be better.
Avatar f tn I took metronidazole gel at about 20 weeks for bv and baby is fine now at about 28 weeks
Avatar f tn I am 30 weeks and I took it and it caused me to have seizures and stop breathing
Avatar n tn m currently 23 weeks as of today, and this is my first baby. Have any of you taken it before and had any issues? I know my doctor wouldnt give me anything harmful to the baby, but it still just scares me. Any tips would help! Thank you & i hope you guys are doing great!!
Avatar f tn I was prescribed it last week for a bacterial infection. Took it 4 times and my face started to break out in a rash. Called the pharmacist and then the doctor. Both said i was having an allergic reaction to the medicine. Both said to stop taking it. I go to the doctor next week to ddiscuss other options. So just watch out for that.....
