Leukocytes UTI
I was treated over a week ago for Gonnorhea and Clamydia. I didn't have symptoms ive experienced urgency to urinate a day after treatment and ever since. I called the doctor and they said it may just be inflammation due to the infection and should go away, I'm being tested for cure next week. I did a Otc UTI test which looks negative except the Leukocyte reading has a possible positive, plan on doing another later to confirm. Could my leukocytes be high since it's only been a week after treatment?
Oops -- I was thinking you're a guy. Sorry.
BV is certainly a possibility for otherwise unexplained vaginal discharge. So is trichomonas, which the standard tests usually miss; you need the newer DNA test to reliably exclude it. As for yeast, it is a possibility, but the main symptom usually is irritation and itching, with only scant discharge.

Sorry to hear of your doctor's rudeness. He is simply wrong -- having sex with a treated partner is not likely to have caused any problem at all. That said, something is going on to explain the discharge. There is no such thing as BV in males, so I don't understand that comment or diagnosis. Probably there was some sort of misunderstanding. Yeast? Maybe, but I doubt it.
Update results were negative for everything, just treating for BV and yeast from the treatment.
Went to the clinic today, it's been 14 days since treatment, I was told abstain for 7 days after treatment which I did, the fill in for my doc was rude and abrasive, telling me in so many words I was stupid for having sex before two weeks was up, even though my partner was also treated. Then after preparing for the swab said I sure had a lot of discharge, which is odd as I haven't experienced any until she started swabbing. She treated me for BV due to discharge, now and I'm waiting on test of cure to come back in. She didn't test for UTI, as I didn't have pain and the urgency subsided. But what are the odds of persistent Gonnorhea or Clamydia after being treated with the injection and Zithromax?
Spermicide, especially nonoxynol-9 (check the label), certainly could be responsible. That sounds a lot more likely than either a UTI or persistent gon or chlamydia.
Well Saturday the urgency was extreme, but as of yesterday no issue at all, today either!! I did notice I had these issues after using a few condoms that contained spermicide, maybe it was irritation from them, causing the start of a UTI? Today I have a follow up so will post update.
Persistent gonorrhea or chlamydia could cause positive test results, but you had the recommended treatments for both and there is no realistic chance they would fail to cure them. And with urgency only, without pain etc, I also doubt you have a UTI. Just sit tight over the weekend, push fluids, and get in touch with your doc on Monday. Nothing bad is likely to happen in the meantime.
Would the urine test show positive NIT if my gonorrheaand chlamydia were persistent
I was treated with Rociphen and Zithromax and I was positive for both chlamydia and gonorrhea. I have no pain whatsoever just the urgency to use the restroom. No discharge or anything else abnormal. I didn't have any symptoms when I was treated
Something doesn't compute. There shouldn't be persistent symptoms (urgency etc) or inflammation (positive urine WBC test) from chlamydia or gonorrhea a week later. (Of the various WBC types, only one is pertinent to genital or urinary infections, and those are detected by the OTC WBC tests.)
So your concern about a UTI may be reasonable, assuming you were treated properly. Were you positive for both gonorrhea and chlamydia? How were you treated? A yeast infection or trichomonas also are possible.
Even with the weekend coming up, probably someone is covering for your doctor. However, I don't think there's much urgency, if your symptoms aren't severe. If you can't get in touch before Monday, try drinking lots of fluids to help symptoms (even with infection, more dilute urine is less irritating).

I just used the Otc strips that test for NIT, or LEU, and my wbc was a little positive. My doc is out until Monday and I've had this issue since being treated, I had a nurse tell me it could be inflammation from the infection causing the urgency and wbc in my urine. There's no pain or fever or any other symptom, and the urine strip doesn't show any bacteria so I was just wondering if my body would still have LEU in urine a week after

Hi, there are 5 types and depending which type is high determines if there is an active infection. Some are being expelled out of the system in the urine which are dead and there always are some in the urine.
