Gonorrhea infection?
Hello Dr. I am a 26 year old male. A couple of days back, after having unprotected sex, I started having burning sensations while urinating, and also thick yellowish discharge from my penis. I commenced a 7 day treatment with Cipro and Doxycycline. I completed the treatment about 3 days ago, but I still have discharge(though less thick and not as plentiful), and a slight discomfort when I urinate and when I get an erection. How long does it take for the symptoms to disappear, and did I take the wrong medication?
Well, I assume the drugs worked because there is less purulence and discomfort, however the symptoms have not completely cleared up. I intend to get checked again(I only described the symptoms to a druggist before I got on the medication). Thanks.
this is not the doctor's forum - you have to pay to post there.
you need to be seen again this week and get additional testing done. did they do testing originally or just throw antibiotics at you and hope that it worked?
