nsu over and over agin

[lionskipper969]

Hi,can anyone help.I had a bout of nsu or ngu in the states with an ex-girlfriend.When we finished I still felt a bit strange and went back to the clinic and was checked and given the all clear.But because of me still feeling symptoms they gave me doxycycline just in case.A few months later I still felt strange and went back they said I was all clear again.I started to think this is now all in my head but whatever safe sex all the way from know.I met a lovely girl a little while ago and we slept together but did not have sex.But she woke me with a bit of oral sex but I am so worried all the time that I put a stop to it pretty quick.I panicked and went to the clinic the next day and guess what they said I had nsu but no specific cause.I could not believe it I felt like they did not believe me the last two times I went there.I am at my wits end.Have I given my lovely girlfriend nsu in her mouth.I feel terrible.

be sure to eat plenty of yogurt or take a good probiotic while you are on antibiotics that long too :)

are you feeling better yet? your update didn't mention if you were feeling any different or not.

Hi,three weeks into doxy for my chronic prostatitis.(At least thats what the Urologist thinks is causing my NGU.He really did not care at all.Got to say I think he got it wrong and I have NGU which has caused the prostatitis.Chicken and egg.?.Thanks for some of the advice that I have received and I have decided not to fight this anymore.I am worn out by it.Minor infection they said what a joke.I hope I come back as a Dolphin but I would probably be netted by a fisherman on my first day. See you all.

Hi Grace,
I have been diagnosed with chronic prostatitis and given 3 months of Doxycycline and have to go back for a check up in 4 months.In a strange way I am relieved that they have found out what has been causing my Nsu and that I can now move on and try to get this cured.You did say previously that this was a bacterial infection and that it was not an std.I would like to thank you and wished you worked in the Gum clinic that I visited.I knew there was something more to this as why all them meds had no affect on my condition.
Thanks Grace

many things it can be. following up with the urologist is the best course of action.

please stop back and post on how your appointment went :)

Hi,
Just an update.I have know been treated with Doxycycline,azithromycin,Zithromax,zithromax and metronidazole combined.Still no change to my Nsu/ngu.I am seeing a Urologist tommorow at last.
The clinic are now lost as to what is causing this so hopefully the Urologist can help.
Could this be prostatitis causing this or something else.Any ideas.
Thanks

it's a sti but not what we tend to think of as a std. ( clear as mud eh? lol )  Yes sometimes it is clearly a std and caused by chlamydia but most times it's not caused by bacteria that we consider to be stds - it's just that mode of contact that you contracted it from was sexually transmitted ( so yes indeed it is a sexually transmitted infection ). for instance recent research shows that H. Pylori bacteria is a common cause of ngu. that's also the bacteria responsible for many stomach ulcers.  try telling your grand pappy that his ulcer is a std ( or better yet, tell grandma that it is....he he he ).   All kinds of bacteria that is normal in the mouth but when it gets into the urogenital tract, causes issues.  

Most of the time, ngu is not going to be transmitted to your female partner unless of course it is caused by chlamydia. some of the viral causes of it can also be transmitted to a partner.  If you've treated it with a full week of antibiotics or once several weeks have passed, it's not likely to be an issue for your partner even if symptoms persist.

hope that makes some sort of sense.
