Patient's question:
I am a male who has undergone three tests for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea PCR (prostate fluid sample), all of which were negative after stopping medication for about a week. The fourth test, done after stopping medication for ten days, also showed negative results for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea culture. However, the fifth test, done after stopping medication for twenty days, detected Ureaplasma urealyticum in the Chlamydia and Gonorrhea culture. Please help me understand if the hospital might have mixed up the samples.(As I previously had bacteria detected in my prostate culture, I was on medication.)
First follow-up question: The issue is that I have already started medication for two days. How long should I wait before rechecking?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: That's uncertain! You can review it, but if there is an infection, it's important to actively treat it, mostly using medications like Mefenamic Acid, (), etc. The occurrence of gynecological inflammation not only affects women's health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it's best to go to the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine check-up. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
