Question 2

how long does it take to cure the std "trich" with metrozo?

Accepted Answer

3-5 days: You will start seeing improvement very soon after initiating therapy but on average it may take 3-5 days before clearing of symptoms. Patients should avoid sex until drug therapy is completed and all symptoms have disappeared.

does it take longer for a std result to come back if its positive?

No: The time for a test result should be the same no matter the outcome....Ask you doctor for more specifics on the particular lab they use.

Question 4

how long does doxylyn take to clear up the std? and after how long can i stop using it?

Accepted Answer

Which STD?: Doxycycline (Doxylin and many other brands) treats some STDs but not all; it depends on which infection you have. Usually 7 days for chlamydia, nongonococcal urethritis (NGU) in men, and partners of people with these STDs. 2-4 weels for syphilis. 10-14 days for pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) when the exact cause is not known. Not reliable in any dose for gonorrhea. No effect on HPV or herpes.

Question 5

how many pills of azithromycin 500mg you need to take to clear std infection?

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Azithromycin is not the only treatment for stis. A doctor should evaluate and maybe test for likely and possible causes of sti in each case. That way, specific treatment can be started.

Question 6

my doctor have me 4 pills of antibiotics to clear up some std. te directions said take all at once does that seem right? also how long will it take to start to have an effect?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Sounds right.  The doc likely have you Azithromycin 500mg x 4 pills. Take them all as prescribed.

Question 7

how long does a sore vag take to heal from the inside? some pain w/ penetration b/c of previous rough sex. no infection/stds. clear of all, & partner.

Accepted Answer

Vaginal irritation: If it is only from mucosal irritation it should only be a few days.  However, if bleeding or other discharge should get checked.

Question 8

hi i went the dr for discharge they test for bacterial infection and std dr came back 10mins and said bacteria. does the test usally take longer?

Accepted Answer

Grams stain: A rapid test that can show bacteria can be done in just a few minutes.

Question 9

i take birth control,  missed 2 days, brown discharge started yesterday. foul smell for 4 days, partner clear of std in jan. 2017 together 5 mon. bv??

Accepted Answer

Missed oral bc pill: Missing an "active" bcp (not a placebo) will start withdrawal bleeding from the lowered estrogen level effect on the lining of the uterus.  The "foul odor" may be an infection (or a "lost tampon" still in the upper vagina).  See your gyn for an exam and a culture.  Negative for STD in 01/2017 is not a guarantee of negativity at present.

Question 10

i was waiting to take an std test, this way i was within 10-12 week window. i am now taking an antibiotic for a tooth infection, can this clear up a std infection, i am taking clindamycin.

Accepted Answer

Viral or bacterial?: It depends on what type of std you have.
