symptoms persist
Hello,
I had a sexual encounter in germany recently which involved unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex. About 2 weeks later I started getting a kind of rawness in my urethra. There was no pain per se just something wasn't right. Also there was itching inside the urethra as well. I awoke one morning to find the opening of my urethra stuck shut. I literally had to pull it apart. There was no thick discharge or anything just stuck together. These symptoms have persisted now for 2 weeks. I'm currently in a location where testing is hard to come by so the doctor I went to prescrbed 2G Azithromycin and 100mg doxy twice per day for 7 days. It has been 7 days and all of the symptoms have persisted. I will note that about 2 days after taking the Azithromycin the symptoms let up a bit but have returned. So from what I've been gathering is that this regimen of meds should have cleared up Gonorrhea and Chlamydia...unless I have gotten some resistant strain. Any other ideas of what the symptoms sound like is a possibility to pass on to the doctor?

No I do not know that info. Not recommended treatment but most likely still will cure.
Thanks for the reply sir...I had started to think that maybe it was mental. Just curious do you know what the Azithromycin resistance prevalance is with both Chlamydia and Gonorhea? I notice the CDC doesn't recomend the treatment for either bacterium...
