Question 1

how to tell the difference between gonorrhea and chlamydia penis discharge?

Accepted Answer

STI: Just by visually examining the discharge will not tell you which STI is which. You really need to have the appropriate tests done to differentiate between the two as treatment is different for these diseases. Check with your doctor or the clinic.

Question 2

i got blood and urine tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia and the results came back negative, but i still have discharges comeing from my penis.?

Accepted Answer

It's NGU: You have nongonococcal urethritis. It's one of the most common STDs in men. About one third of NGU cases are caused by chlamydia, so your negative chlamydia test is typical. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and get treated. Your sex partner(s) will need to be treated as well. Good luck!

Question 3

how can i tell the difference between a cyst and std? i tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea but the bump is still there. no other symptoms

Accepted Answer

Needs an exam: Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. A doctor should be able to look at the bump you are referring to and determine if any other testing is needed

Question 4

what is the  difference between gonorrhea and chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Different diseases: Chlamydia is a cell-wall free higher form of bacteria which is a common cause of non-gonococcal urethritis.  Neisseria gonorrheae is a cell-wall containing bacteria which causes gonorrhea, usually producing more severely symptomatic disease than chlamydia.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Organism: Just a different infectious agent, plus chlamydia can be symptomatic moore frequently than gc.

Question 6

what's the difference between the stis, gonorrhea and chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Similar & different: The symptoms are very similar, though they're caused by unrelated organisms and the treatment is different. Gonorrhea can sometimes be more severe, and can cause joint infection,  especially in women.

Question 7

what are the differences between chlamydia and gonorrhea symptoms and how can you guess which one you have before you decide to get tested?

Accepted Answer

Not too many: The two conditions can be remarkably similar.  Gc usually presents with more pain and purulent discharge, but have seen the same thing with non-gonococcal urethritis, usually due to chlamydia.  Guessing is nowhere as good as being diagnosed and treated appropriately.  And would you believe you can have both simultaneously.

Question 8

can you please tell me, should 2g of azithromycin cure gonorrhea and chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Not gonorrhea: It will treat the chlamydia, but not the gonorrhea. Usually need Rocephin (ceftriaxone) (an intramuscular injectable dose) to cure the gonorrhea.
