ciprofloxacin for ngu

Perhaps this is not the right venue, as I'm certain I don't have an STD because there was no encounter.  However,  I am showing signs of urethritis.  I won't get into specifics, but likely due to introducing old masturbation toys.  Cipro is not recommended, I believe due to it's ineffectiveness against other STD's.

If the NGU is not from and STD, would the drug be effective?

certainly you can get non-std related infections in your urogenital area. best to be seen and get some basic urine testing done to confirm that indeed something is going on. you don't want to needlessly take antibiotics in this day and age - they do potentially far more harm than good :(

doxy is the preferred medication and if you do have something going on, your provider will most likely prescribe that. some do still prescribe cipro but we try to avoid it when we can in general.

You see a Dr, get the correct diagnosis and the correct treatment/medication. We don't diagnosis and give medication advice.
