Zithromax dose for Gonorrhea
Hello everyone,
I received unprotected oral sex from someone for at most one minute. I did not ejaculate at the time. 5 days later I started feeling an uncomfortable tingling sensation near the tip of my penis. There was no discharge, and it was a constant tingling sensation that went on throughout the day. I went to the doctor and he Physically examined me without any tests being done. As a precautionary measure he prescribed 1 gram of zithromax and told me that if I indeed had Gonorrhea or Chlamydia that the single dose would cure it.
Is this correct? I've been reading that 2 gm would be necessary for Gonorrhea and 1 gm would take care of Chlamydia. I called him today to make sure he prescribed the proper dose and he reassurred me that 1 gram is all that is needed. Is he over seeing this?

many things cause ngu and prostatitis, not just chlamydia. you haven't been properly treated for most of the causes of either of them hence my recommendations.
If it is sexually transmitted, Isn't prostatitis and gnu caused by chlamydia itself? By taking the
Zithromax 1gm wouldn't that in itself rule out prostatitis and gnu due to chlamydia being treated?

you can get chlamydia and gonorrhea but oral sex but the risk of such is very, very low. treating you without testing you was irresponsible also.
at this point I wouldn't worry any further about the dose you were given ( 1gm is the dose but just as a single treatment isn't recommended ). Instead, if symptoms continue/return, be seen and get basic urine testing done for a proper diagnosis. It's far more likely to be prostatitis or ngu than gonorrhea or chlamydia anyways and one dose of azithromax isn't very effective for either of those.
