Mycoplasma genitalium STD

[chinnio]

Hi i am a 26 year old straight male with a removed spleen (splenectomy). For the past 4 months if been suffering with the infection of mycoplasma genitalium. I first went to the clinic just days after i had sexual intercourse with a female stranger, they said i have NSU but couldn't tell me what STD it was. After taking 5 different antibiotics with non affect i decided to change clinic. A new doctor suggested i payed for a private test, a test his clinic couldn't offer at the time and this test confirmed i have mycoplasma gen. He also took a swab to develop in the lab and he said moxifloxacin 400mg was fast effective to the bacteria but there was a part of the bacteria that was resistant. He still gave me a 20 day course and its been a week since i've finished it and yes the infection is still there. My symptoms is not as bad as some other sufferers, slight discharge in the mornings and tingles around the tip but not as much as before. On my last appointment my doctor said if moxifloxacin don't work then his ordered a antibiotic from France that will hopefully work. I called my clinic and the next available appointment with my doctor is 30th january 2015. I didn't want to start a new year with this but it seems i have no choice. Can any specialist help me please? Is there any natural remedies that can help? Because i don't have a immune system is there natural foods or drinks i can have to help me? Please help thanks

I had mg for 16 years and I was having fun with a lady who aggravated my prostatitis I had for years when I came so hard I popped a biofilm or a cyst or something. When I came it felt so ******* great I thought my prostatitis went away no it got vicious more than ever to i once again sought medical treatment found out my CBP all these years was mg and now everything is cleared up I am still on the moxifloxacin and rifampin as a precaution since I had it for 16 years and the fact I had a really high bacterial load. BTW the woman does not have it and we had protected sex and when the bubble in my prostate burst it was absolutely disgusting what came out in the condom obvious pus cum and blood I had not ejaculated in several weeks prior and they said it was likely a granuloma cyst from the bacteria bursting and I got initial relief followed by an explosion of bacteria that we're previously protected and multiplying. This is why long term antibiotics is recommended but you gotta know what your fighting first. I had many doctors tell me nothing was wrong and one even refer me to psych... I gave up and tried to just live my life figured maybe it was in my head. Definitely was not.

I am 31 male from Australia who has just won the battle against MG after fighting it for 6 months.  I think I got it from someone in China.  Anyway, I tried doxycycline, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and azithromycin, none of them worked.  What did work was a combination of Moxifloxacin 400mg one per day for 10 days (in the morning), plus Rifampicin one pill per day for 10 days (at night).  The combination of both of these together finally killed it!

Be careful with Moxifloxacin (fluorquinolones in general), two tablets crippled my tendons and I lost 10 kg of weight. It's 3 months ago and I still can't work properly. It's a very dangerous antibiotic, as it enters cells and reach your mitochondria which are similiar to bacteria and kills them what can lead to multi system symptoms in every area. There is already a black box warning and debates to take it away from market. For more info google floxie hope.

This is a complex situation; you're not going to be able to get definite answers on line, either in this forum or anywhere else.

I'll just say that if you had a positive test for M genitalium, then you had the infection at that time. However, it doesn't necessarily mean it was the cause of your symptoms. And if your symptoms are continuing, it isn't necessarily because M genitalium is still there; the only way to know is to have another test for it.

The UK's NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics are excellent, with world class expertise. I would recommend you visit your local GUM clinic if you haven't done so. Or see one of the excellent private GUM clinics, like London's Freedom Health Clinic. Then trust their expertise in managing your problem. Good luck.
