Paper Cuts On Penis, Lack Of Lubrication During Sex, Infection, Pain During Urination, Resulting In UTI, Can This Also Cause Genital Herpes ?
i am a healthy 25yr old male, i recently got small paper cuts on my penis from friction due to my wife not having enough lubrication . when this happen i usually let it heal on its own but this time it did not heal and now its become infected. due to this infection i developed a urinary tract infection causing pain and burning when urinating. I checked in the emergency room and in fact diagnosed with a urinary tract infection but they also think i have genital herpes from my infection but i tried to explain the cause of my infection. they prescribed me with cipro tablets 500mg and famciclovr tablets 250mg. after 24 hrs of taking this medications have shown no improvement still have the same pain and burning when urinating and also developed fevers and cannot sleep. im drinking only water and cranberry juice. i need help on whether the medications were the right choice for my situation or if i need to check in the emergency room again.
From your history I get the fact that you are worried about your urinary tract infection.Cipro used to be quite effective for urinary tract infection but due to its overuse the bacteria causing the infection have become resistant.You have to continue famciclovir for genital herpes.Cipro given for urinary tract infection can be changed to Nitrofurantoin(urifast)100mg thrice daily for 7 days and T Flavospas thrice daily for 2 days(this is for the burning sensation during urination).COntinue drinking water and cran berry juice.You will get areleif in your condition 2 to 3 days after starting these medications
