health STD & AIDS

[tma683]

are you experiencing any pain or difficulty in urinating ba..? does it hurt when you pee..? or masakit o nangangalay ang likod mo..? may dahilan ba kung bakit nagpa-urinalysis ka..?

 

baka yung unang test mo, wala namang problema at that time... sa pangalawang test, posible na nagsimulang magkaroon ka ng impeksyon sa ihi...

 

pus cell count in urine should normally not exceed 0-5/hpf or depende sa normal value na ginagamit ng laboratory... same with red blood cells, may sinusunod na normal range... personally, >5 rbc`s makes me consider that something might be happening na...

 

i suggest that you can go to the St. Luke`s Hospital Laboratory Department to have your pee tested again... at the same time mag-konsulta ka na din with a physician...

Maraming salamat sir peterparker. wala naman po akong nararamdamang sakit or kakaiba sa pag ihi ko. yung sa san lazaro, i was treated for std by a physician, so after an injection and 2weeks of medicines, bumalik uli ako doon for testing. so ok naman na. sabi ng doktor magaling na daw ako. after a week without any sex, napadaan ako ng pasay and saw a lab, kaya naiisip ko lang na magpa test uli for confirmation. iba naman ang resultang lumabas sa test nila.

wala na po ba kayong ibang clinic or urologist na pwede ko bisitahin? hirap kasi sa mga ospital, lalo na yung mga malalaki, bukod sa mahal na, ubos pa oras sa paghihintay. ( yung sa san lazaro pala, GP lang yung doktor, hindi urologist) thanks again.

i`ll share with you info on the different treatment modalities of genital warts :

 

Recommended Regimens for External Genital Warts

 

Patient-Applied:

 

Podofilox 0.5% solution or gel. Patients should apply podofilox solution with a cotton swab, or podofilox gel with a finger, to visible genital warts twice a day for 3 days, followed by 4 days of no therapy. This cycle may be repeated, as necessary, for up to four cycles. The total wart area treated should not exceed 10 cm2, and the total volume of podofilox should be limited to 0.5 mL per day. If possible, the health-care provider should apply the initial treatment to demonstrate the proper application technique and identify which warts should be treated. The safety of podofilox during pregnancy has not been established.

OR

Imiquimod 5% cream. Patients should apply imiquimod cream once daily at bedtime, three times a week for up to 16 weeks. The treatment area should be washed with soap and water 6–10 hours after the application. The safety of imiquimod during pregnancy has not been established.

 

Provider-Administered:

 

Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen or cryoprobe. Repeat applications every 1–2 weeks.

OR

Podophyllin resin 10%–25% in a compound tincture of benzoin. A small amount should be applied to each wart and allowed to air dry. The treatment can be repeated weekly, if necessary. To avoid the possibility of complications associated with systemic absorption and toxicity, two important guidelines should be followed: 1) application should be limited to <0.5 mL of podo-phyllin or an area of <10 cm2 of warts per session, and 2) no open lesions or wounds should exist in the area to which treatment is administered. Some specialists suggest that the preparation should be thoroughly washed off 1–4 hours after application to reduce local irritation. The safety of podophyllin during pregnancy has not been established.

OR

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or Bichloroacetic acid (BCA) 80%–90%. A small amount should be applied only to the warts and allowed to dry, at which time a white “frosting” develops. If an excess amount of acid is applied, the treated area should be powdered with talc, sodium bicarbonate (i.e., baking soda), or liquid soap preparations to remove unreacted acid. This treatment can be repeated weekly, if necessary.

OR

Surgical removal either by tangential scissor excision, tangential shave excision, curettage, or electrosurgery

 

 

Alternative Regimens

 

Intralesional interferon

OR

Laser surgery

 

 

i would highly recommend that you should consult a physician first, particularly an infectious disease specialist who will elaborate and guide you in choosing the proper treatment regimen...

Doc Peter, the doctor diagnosed and conclude na magaling na raw yung friend ko. his last Urine test shows [Pus Cells: 1-3] [RBC: 0-1].

 

As per his doctor, baka nagpipigil lang daw talaga sya ng ihi nya.

 

Thanks po ng marami sa mga advice.

Just make sure that it's genital warts. If you haven't consulted an MD, it's about time that you do so.

thanks doc. well, after reading some comments in this thread, i felt that a check up is long over due because eventhough im using protection, it is not a guarantee that one can not be infected with STD, di po ba? anyway, thanks again, doc.

[Dhoney]

[zenislev]

Hello Doctors,

 

 

I had my checkup with my clinic yesterday and I included urine test since Im having a clear discharge and white discharge (yesterday morning), the result showed pus cell 6-8 and RBC 0-3. the doctor said it could be UTI so they prescribed a medicine however, right now Im feeling some pain in my lower back though not intense and it does not always hurt and my bladder hurts when I apply pressure on them. also I have a slight fever 37.3c and slight chills.. I also feel weak.

 

Am I having kidney infection na? the medicine they gave me was ciprofloxacin 500mg, twice a day to take every morning and evening.

hey, you`re back...

 

does it hurt when you pee ba bro? or just when you apply pressure sa pubic area mo like what you said..?

 

hmm.. 6-8 pus cells/hpf could be a sign of early UTI nga.. yung back pain mo ba is more sa flank or sa side..?

plus you are having slight fever and chills...

 

para maagapan nga, finish the course of cipro for at least 7 days then repeat the urinalysis...

pinakikiramdaman ko ngayun bro eh... kapag nakahiga ako at nagtwitch ako ng konti or bend masakit pero pag nag pee inde naman. wala ring pain sa penis ko. yung lower back pain, sa may side ng pelvic bone kanina. wala naman ako nararamdaman ngayun. right now, wala rin naman akong lagnat.

 

anu kaya ito? as per my doctor, balik daw ako sa kanya bukas for another urine test kung may progress daw eh.

i think it would be wise to ask your doctor kung pwede magpagawa ng urine culture test, para makita kung may tutubo na bacteria sa culture media and pwede din siya ma-identify kung meron... that way the proper meds will be prescribed for you... kaya lang you should discontinue the cipro muna kasi altered ang magiging resulta nito...

Nagpacheck up ako kanina at yan din ang sinabi nung doktora sa akin. actually ganito, bukas daw, pa Culture Test daw ako first thing in the morning, pero makukuha ko pa raw ang result after a week pa...

 

binigyan nya ako ng 2 sets ng gamot, though di ko masyado mabasa the first one is 500mg of Azyth (I think) 2 pcs daw na one time ko iinumin. then another set of meds macrodnit... 100mg (cant read it na) 7 days ko daw iinumin. malamang 2x a day kasi 14 pcs yung pinabibili nya for 7 days intake.

 

I have to drink the medz daw agad para di daw lumala yung UTI ko.

 

my urine test today shows PUS Cells 4-6/hpf and RBC 0-2/hpf.

 

after the 7 days of medz, another urine test..

 

Yung Azyth po ba na medz, sabay ko po bang iinumin yon? di nya kasi nailagay sa prescription eh. di kasi pwedeng magkasunod dahil dalwang 500mg yon..

False positives may be associated with medical conditions such as recent acute illnesses and allergies.

 

HIV antibody tests are highly sensitive, meaning they react preferentially with HIV antibodies, but not all positive or inconclusive HIV tests mean the person is infected by HIV. Risk history, and clinical judgement should be included in the assessment, and a confirmation test (Western blot) should be administered. An individual with an inconclusive test should be re-tested at a later date.

i'm going to have my 2nd test tomorrow.... wish me luck

[hotsauce23]

docs nagpatest na aq twice for hiv 1st on the 1st month after the deed and 2nd after 4 months, both are negative...may chances p b n magpostive un?

You were given Azithromycin and Macrodantin. Yes, you can take 2 tablets of Azithromycin one after the other. I suggest that you increase your fluid intake too.

HIV screening tests detect the presence of antibodies to the virus, not the presence of the virus itself. It takes some time for you body to develop antibodies to the virus and generally, it takes 3 months for it to develop but in some persons, it make take up to 6 months. If it would give you peace of mind, then I'd suggest having another test done on the 6th month.

[peterparker]

there have been reported cases of DELAYED SEROCONVERSION... this means that some people exposed to HIV tested negative to HIV antibodies >6 months post-exposure but were tested seropositive within 12 months after exposure...

 

i suggest that you should be vigilant and consider re-testing yourself at 9 months and 12 months... after 1 year if you are still negative you might be able to breathe a bit easier na...

medyo matagal ata yung 1 week na resulta ng urine culture.. in our laboratory we usually release results after 72 hours...

 

in any case, yung pus cell count mo is still a bit low so i`m guessing it won`t develop into full-blown UTI with your meds...

medyo matagal nga po kasi dinadala pa po yung result sa isang specialist outside the clinic eh... like yung gram stain test ko, one week din ang itinagal nun.

 

Anyhow, yung macrodantin po 2x a day daw po ang intake? Pano po yun, 1 tablet per 12 hours? or sabay din? saka nabasa ko sa internet yung azythromycin, anti-chlamidia pala yun?

 

fluid intake, mga 8 to 10 glasses of water a day daw eh..

 

anu po ba ang situation ng isang full blown UTI?

yung Azythromycin ay gamot po sa STD po di ba? its a bit odd kasi tagal ko nang walang kontak sa GF ko eh (ex ko na ngayon). paano naman po yung intake ng macrodantin?

 

ty po..

when you develop full-blown UTI, you can experience difficulty and/or pain in peeing, urgency, flank pains, sometimes fever or chills, pubic pain, nausea, vomiting...

the normal adult dose of Macrodantin is 50-100 mg. 4x a day or every 6 hours...

 

yup, Azithromycin is effective against certain urinary tract infections, such as non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis and STD`s like Chlamydia trachomatis.. and it has a similar antibacterial spectrum as Erythromycin..
