Mild NGU

[ashwin448]

Hello,

I have recently been diagnosed with mild NGU although I am still waiting for my Chlamydia and Gonorrhea results. I have been given one single dose of azithromycin (1 g) . It has been four days now, and when i urinate there is still a burning sensation. I have not had any discharge at all. Before (Hours before) I have the burning feeling when I urinate, I also have a feeling of pressure/pain at my pelvis.

1. When will the symptoms go away completely after having taken  zithromax - single dose?

2. What is the likelihood that it is either Chlamydia or Gonorrhea that is causing the urethritis?

3. If the symptoms do not resolve with azithromycin , should i consider seeing the doctor for a greater dosage of zithromax or changing medication?

4. If results for Chlamydia or Gonorrhea are negative, what could be the causes of buring feeling at urination?

5. Referring to test results for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea being negative, should I consider seeing a urologist?

Thank you for your answers.

Are you male or female ? A 1 gram dose of azithromycin is effective in treating Chlamydia but may not treat gonorrhea. Wait for your test results. If you are still having symptoms, please go back for a follow up exam.Take care.

NGU can cause burning during urination, and even though you only take one dose of azithromycin, it is working over about a 7 day period.

If your symptoms persist, follow up with your doc, and make sure to call them to get your results.
