Any bro here failed NGU Treatment?
 

Diagnosed for NGU.

Went to dsc on oct and 2week later seem like cleared after eating 2 week of medication. . but still have discharge. Today went back again and did a test.. result is bad.. doctor say is worst than 1st test. given antibotics again. THey ask me test for mycoplasma.

i asked the doctor why 2nd time i tested cleared but now say i have reinfection although i dont have any sex during the period my first test till now. she said maybe test got error.

this time round i did herpes and syphilis test

No sex since oct.

anyone failed the treatment before?

With the rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria it is quite common for treatments to fail which will necessitate the search for a different antibiotic which works.

Eventually none will work and if a substitute for antibiotics is not found we'll be back to the conditions humans experienced in the 19th century and before.

Hope this time round it's works.

This time given Azithromycin and Metronidazole.

Just curios why the second test result is normal but today (3rd test) the result is bad even though i never had any sex after the first test.
Lucky i went back to see doctor again, if not i won't know actually i'm not cured.

I think i am worst than you. This is the fourth month for me already. Has to restart taking antiobiotics for NGU.

One question though boss such antibiotic resistance is something that is quite rare right and not something occurs quite commonly, no?

Re: Any bro here failed NGU Treatment?
 

Are you kidding me! Antibiotic resistance is reaching crisis levels as we speak and the world is running out of antibiotics used to treat common infections.

It is estimated that we only have a few more years to come up with something new or the world will be plunged back to the pre antibiotic days when many infections would kill us.

Key facts

• Antibiotic resistance is one of the biggest threats to global health, food security, and development today.
• Antibiotic resistance can affect anyone, of any age, in any country.
• Antibiotic resistance occurs naturally, but misuse of antibiotics in humans and animals is accelerating the process.
• A growing number of infections – such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, gonorrhoea, and salmonellosis – are becoming harder to treat as the antibiotics used to treat them become less effective.
• Antibiotic resistance leads to longer hospital stays, higher medical costs and increased mortality.

Introduction

Antibiotics are medicines used to prevent and treat bacterial infections. Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in response to the use of these medicines.

Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. These bacteria may infect humans and animals, and the infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality.

The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics. Even if new medicines are developed, without behaviour change, antibiotic resistance will remain a major threat. Behaviour changes must also include actions to reduce the spread of infections through vaccination, hand washing, practising safer sex, and good food hygiene.


Scope of the problem

Antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world. New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases. A growing list of infections – such as pneumonia, tuberculosis, blood poisoning, gonorrhoea, and foodborne diseases – are becoming harder, and sometimes impossible, to treat as antibiotics become less effective.

Where antibiotics can be bought for human or animal use without a prescription, the emergence and spread of resistance is made worse. Similarly, in countries without standard treatment guidelines, antibiotics are often over-prescribed by health workers and veterinarians and over-used by the public.

Without urgent action, we are heading for a post-antibiotic era, in which common infections and minor injuries can once again kill.

Any update bro? Curious about it and hope can gain more knowledge for myself
