Hey everyone, about a month ago I starting
feeling stinging/burning while urinating,
and a clear discharge from my penis. Well
it was just wet all the time. So I went
the gum clinic and they told me I had nsu
and gave me a 7 day course of doxycycline.
Then about 2 weeks later the same
symptoms where coming back. So I went
back and they said I still had some
inflammation still in my urethra. So gave
me a single dose of azithromycin (4
tablets). I thought it might of came back
because I had sex with my girlfriend on
like the last day of my course. But now
its like another 2 or 3 weeks and the
symptoms are coming back. I havent had
sex but masterbated. But I masterbated
exactly 2 weeks after my single dose of
azithromycin. I dont really want to go
back the gum clininc for a third time to
get a swab. They are really annoying. I
have never read on the internet about nsu
coming back 3 times. Is this an infection
or is it just still inflammed. What
should I do? Thanks.

I wouldn't know, but I would go back to
the doctor and explain it's longevity and
your frustration with it and your desire
to really attack this problem seriously.
Ask about other possible diagnoses.
If it is an infection ask the doctor if it
would be wise (because it keeps coming
back) and safe to use stronger and longer
antibiotic courses. I like to aid
antibiotics whenever I have an infection
by using alternative methods as well.
Oregano oil, colloidal silver, garlic are
good infection fighters. Other things can
boost your immunity such as vitamin-c,
zinc, elderberry, echinacea, etc. Staying
away from excess sugar and alcohol is a
good idea anytime you need a strong immune
system.
Finally, after any course of antibiotics
it is important to replenish your
probiotics. Probiotics are the beneficial
bacteria in your colon that aid in
digestion, absorption, assimilation, and
also keeping bad bacteria in check and
aiding immunity. Without them digestion
is poor (which is key to health) and bad
bacteria are without check. You can
replenish these probiotics by eating plain
yogurt for several weeks and/or purchasing
a probiotic supplement from a health
store. If you use a supplement find one
that is enteric coated, so that the
bacteria can survive your stomach acid.

Nsu Reinfection Posted: 11-13-07 17:06pm
I've had NSU recently, actually tested
positive for Chlamydia, treatment is the
same Doxycline for a week or single dose
of Azithromycin. Reading your story Danny
May (I know it was some time ago) - it
just seemed really obvious to me that you
got re-infected by your girlfriend, as
there was no mention of her treatment, and
of course it would keep on happening. At
least this reply should help others if you
(hopefully) got it sorted out already.
