Question 1

can chlamydia or gonorrhea only symptom be lower back pain? or would you have other symptoms first?

Accepted Answer

: Lower back pain is one of the most common symptoms in our daily practice, but not the common symptom of sexual transmitted disease. Urethral discharge and dysuria are usually the early symptoms of chlamydia or gonococcal infection.

Question 2

is lower back pain on one side typically a sign of chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: If it includes abdominal pain on the same side, conceivably it could be pelvic inflammatory disease (PID, fallopian tube infection) caused by chlamydia (or gonorrhea). But back pain by itself doesn't suggest chlamydia or any other STD.  However, if you are at risk (new partner, multiple partners, etc), maybe it's time for a routine STD check-up, which would include chlamydia and gonorrhea testing.

Question 3

i am being treated for chlamydia zithromax 250mg twice today and once daily for the next 4 days one of the symptoms i ve been experiencing is lower back pain which i thought might be associated with pid will the zithromax treat pid or should i schedule an

Accepted Answer

Wrong dose: The way you are taking the zithromax is not the dosing for chlamydia - for that you need to take 4 250mg tablets at once. That's it.

Call your doctor and check out why they prescribed it the way you are taking it.

Question 4

hi doctor, thank you for your help. i have the following symptoms: persisting 99f fever, severe lower back pain and my partner is having the following symptoms: persisting headache, pain during sex, herpes and hiv - status. should we test for other stds like chlamydia?

Accepted Answer

Herpes with fever ?: Herpes can produce a low grade temp increase, and most certainly pain in the genital areas with sexual activity.  Check with your physician for other forms of STD's, and a serum test for Herpes I and II.

Question 5

6 wks pregnant, nagging discomfort lower right side, bikini area and back pain. have a 2 year old (low risk preg).  chlamydia 16yrs ago, ectopic???

Accepted Answer

Possibly: An ectopic pregnancy is one of several possibilities for your symptoms.   It would be a good idea to see your OB and have it checked out.  An ultrasound will clarify the situation.  Best wishes!

Question 6

me+partner treated for chlamydia now i have a dark colored urine pain in lower back pain in low abominals and a brown discharge. dnt use condoms help?

Accepted Answer

Retest: I would schedule a visit and ask to be retested for chlamydia. Perhaps you have it again. You can also have your urine tested for a bladder infection. You can also discuss your birth control options to help prevent an unplanned pregnancy. You can also ask for HIV testing. This is important after your chlamydia infection. Use condoms.

Question 7

i have occasional epididimytis and low back pain.my urine will be cloudy but not all the time. ive tested negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea and my urine sample looks good. i was on a lot of antibiotics for h pylori could that have caused this?

Accepted Answer

Partially:  Antibiotics most often utilized in the treatment of H. pylori infection includes amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, or tetracycline/doxycycline.  None of them is effective enough for gonorrheal infection.  Doxycycline is very effective for chlamydia though.

Question 8

trouble emptying bladder. lower back pain. semen is slightly yellow. no pain w/ urination. hiv 1 & 2, hsv 1 & 2, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hep a b c, trich, mgen all negative. should i have my urologist check for prostatitis?

Accepted Answer

: See a Urologist for a thoro evaluation

Question 9

urgency of urination, urethral burning, itching and left testicle pain, left lower backpain is not cleared after taking cefixime 800mg single dose as a treatement of gonorrhea and doxycycline for 5 days(chlamydia). when will medicine start working ?

Accepted Answer

: If the antibiotics prescribed are treating a bacterial infection which is not sensitive to these antibiotics, your symptoms will not be effectively treated.  See the physician who prescribed the medication for an exam and repeat culture/sensitivity.

Question 10

is heart burn and back pain symptom of early pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: Most women, pregnant or not, have heartburn or back pain at some time in their lives. That means heartburn or back pain does not mean pregnancy, but many pregnant women do get heartburn or back pain. The easiest way to think about this is to look at men. Men get heartburn or back pain, but those symptoms don't mean pregnancy.
