Std antibiotics and cancer
Hello, I’m a 29 yr old male. I am in a long term relationship… although I know I made a mistake I did have a risky sexual encounter on a trip. Out of std anxiety I decided to take MULTPLE antibiotics over the course of 2 weeks to prevent possibly catching and spreading to my partner.
I took a 7 day course of doxycycline, 7 day course of metronidazole, shot of penicillin g, and a shot of Ceftriaxone. What is the likihood that I permanently ruined my gut microbiome… there is evidence that excessive antibiotics are linked to colon cancer

What was your risk?
If you're worried about gut health, take a good probiotic. There are people who have to take long-term, very strong antibiotics, and don't get cancer. You took a few antibiotics over a very short time. You'll be fine.
Have you ever talked to anyone about your anxiety? You seem to jump to the worst conclusion right away, which is a big sign of anxiety. You have a risk and take all the antibiotics. After that, you think you'll get cancer.
