What Causes Swelling In The Glans Penis While On Minoz?

default
Posted on Wed, 3 May 2017
Question: I developed whitish flakes under my foreskin and there was slight swelling of the glans. I went to the doctor and he gave me Lulibet cream, Azithral 500, Sepmax, Zimig. And asked me to get a complete profile for hiv/std. My Chlamydophila pneumoniae IgG is 1.90 and Chlamydia trachomatis IGG is 0.93. All other tests are clear. I just want to understand what have I got? What does chlamydophila pneumoniae signify? My doctor says I have LGV. He has prescribed me the following meds
Minoz Od 100mg twice a day and Azithral 500mg twice a day. I stay in a place where doctors are readily available. And after I first met the doctor I have only been in touch through mail or calls. Please just explain what I have and what should be the course of treatment, how contagious is this (i share a room with my brother).
Thank you so much.

Brief Answer:
LGV

Detailed Answer:
Hi,


Thanks for your questions on HCM


I do understand your pain and discomforts


As per your history is concerned let me clarify your doubts points wise below-:

1)For your penis glans doctor has advised medication for fungal infections with antibiotics.

2)Your test report indicates positive antibody titre but you need clinical evidence which your doctor knows after clinical examinations.

3)Chlamydophila pneumoniae is a species of Chlamydophila, an intracellular bacterium that infects humans and is a major cause of pneumonia.

4)your doctor told LGV means [Lymphogranuloma Venereum]which is a veneral disease and he has prescribed medications for it which is also correct.

5)Doxycycline 100 mg twice a day for 7 days and Azythromycin 1 gm PO as a single dose is the usual course of LGV.

6)Condom use may reduce the risk of LGV transmission but does not prevent transmission from ulcerated areas not covered by the condom.



Hope you got all your points
