health STD & AIDS

[mwah]

Ano anong klaseng tests ang meron sa complete STD Testing? Mga magkakano kaya total price or price per test? baka pwede magkaroon ng breakdown? Thanks

 

The cost of the test would vary from one lab to another. It's better to consult your favorite MD first so you won't waste your money having all the tests in the world done, some of which might actually be useless.

 

Plus, if a patient has specific clinical manifestations, the doctor would treat him/her right away even without laboratory tests.

wala kasi akong makitang thread related to UTI so dito na lang.

 

November 2008 I was hospitalized for stones. I was given some antibiotics (starts with letter "Z") to counter it, pero nothing came out. Then July 2009 after 4 days of fever I was rushed to the ER again in fear of AH1N1, only to find out that its a mere trankaso but complicated by an infection in the urinary tract. Another range of antibiotics was given. Now I'm sick again and they're seeing an elevated WBC count, and puss cells in the urine test. Initially the doctor thought I had gono... gonorr... hindi ko alam ang spelling so I'll just call it "G". Anyway, the doctor thought I had "G" but when I said there were no secretions and I had a history of UTI, he's pinpointing it to the UTI.

 

 

Questions:

 

1.) Is UTI a recurring thing? If it is, is there some sort of maintenance I could do to control it?

 

2.) I do admit having "G" more than 5 years ago, and although 3 Elisa tests gave a negative response, could it have been dormant all these years?

 

3.) I do admit having a single encounter besides my constant partner a month (or more, i think) back; although I used the proper protection I just wanted to ask if it's possible that there's no secretion if one has "G"?

 

Help! Reference materials would be much appreciated!

ok, let me try to answer your queries..

 

1) yes, UTI can be recurrent, but more often than not women are more prone to develop UTI than men.. if a patient suffers from recurrent UTI, urine culture studies should be performed to determine the culprit and to guide the physician about the proper antibiotic/s to be prescribed..

 

2) usually, if proper dosage and regimen of anti-gonorrhea meds is given, it`s enough to eradicate the infection.. but sometimes a carrier state is established if not all the organisms are eliminated..

 

3) yes, a certain percentage of patients infected with gonorrhea do not have any symptoms..

in addition to pp's reply -

 

1. were you re-evaluated for stones during this recent episode? this could be an underlying cause of chronic UTI (meaning, long-running infection, as opposed to an acute infection)

 

2. sexually transmitted infections (or STIs, as they are now termed) can be caused by a whole gamut of organisms, and not just by n. gonorrhea. So yes, not all of them would present with overt symptoms.

 

bottomline, make sure you clear it up with your M.D (preferably a urologist or infectious disease specialist) if what you have is just plain UTI, what type of UTI, and of course, the cause. Because antibiotics are easy to dispense and take. Ang importante, alam mo kung bakit paulit-ulit.

Hi i just have a query,

 

My gf was diagnosed with genital warts and she got it treated right away for safety precaution i was advised by her dr. to get examined as well for genital warts. Lo and behold i also had it. I was shocked as I couldnt believe it. Anyways the doctor advised that i should have it removed through "cotory" (Not sure of the spelling). I'm kinda scared because this I believe involves burning the wart on your member and the doctor said that it there are about 5 warts to remove. My query is that is there any other means of treating this aside from burning it. I read over the internet that there is a cream that you can apply. What can doctors advice. If I decide to go with the cotory is it painful and will it heal up quickly? If i don't decide to go through with this what are the possible outcomes. Another concern is that the treatment is so expensive at 6,700 PHP that's why im thinking twice to have it done. Any advice and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

Treatment of genital warts should be guided by the preference of the patient, the available resources, and the experience of the health-care provider. No definitive evidence suggests that any of the available treatments are superior to any other and no single treatment is ideal for all patients or all warts.

 

Treatment regimens are classified into patient-applied and provider-applied modalities. Patient-applied modalities are preferred by some patients because they can be administered in the privacy of the patient’s home. To use patient-applied modalities effectively, compliance with the treatment regimen is important along with the ability to identify and reach all genital warts.

 

Surgical therapy (e.g. electrocautery) has the advantage of usually eliminating warts at a single visit. However, such therapy requires substantial clinical training, additional equipment, and a longer office visit.

 

My advice is that you should consult a highly qualified dermatologist who will present all available treatment modalities for you and will guide you in choosing the best method..

Thanks for the advice. I'll get a second opinion from another practitioner. Thanks again.

Docs, tanong lang po.

 

I have this green shiny discoloration at the right tip of my penis head. Mejo shiny green discoloration sya. I have this for years. No discomfort, no nothing naman.

 

Also, there's this one tiny white head along the rim of my head. So small, i sometimes could not see it. It's only visible par erect sya kasi mejo nakikita na parang white head. I tried picking it pero mejo nakadikit na malalim yata. I have this for years na din. No discomfort, no nothing naman. No proliferation either. basta isa lang sya.

 

Should I be alarmed? I don't know if it's sexually related kasi nga, i have this for years na.

the lesions you described are most probably just minor alterations of your penis structure..

 

as you have mentioned, you don`t have any symptoms, which is well and good.. you can just observe na lang kung may magbabago.. then you can consult your friendly-neighborhood physician..

as far as i can tell, you don`t seem to have any urinary tract infection/STD..

actually, hindi dapat yung pagdami ng nunal ang babantayan mo.. it`s the changes in it`s appearance and characteristics ang nakakatakot.. kapag nagbabago ang itsura, kulay at laki ng nunal medyo di magandang senyales yun..
