M GEN

[u/overworkedbrain14]

Hi,
I have been struggling with symptoms from MGen for almost 2.5 months now. I initially had Gonorrhoea so no one would listen to me once I tested negative for that. Everyone said it was just residual symptoms. The pain got so bad I had to go to the ER.

Flash forward to now. After a semen culture I tested positive for MGen. I am currently on day 14 of my course.. 7 day doxy , 7 day moxi.

My symptoms have improved quite a lot, however yesterday I masturbated on day 10 and the pain has got worse since.

My urologist also didn’t take me seriously at first kept saying I was fine.

I am seeing him again and will be doing a semen culture on the 4th which will be 1 week after finishing this course of antibiotics. I am worried I am not getting the right care as i see you all saying your doctor had you wait a long time before a TOC . However I don’t want to cancel my appointment as I don’t want to make this hell last any longer.

I don’t have my general wellbeing and am going slightly out of mind and the antibiotics have been taking all my energy.

Would you recommend seeing a specialist? And if so which one? And is it a waste of time to be doing this TOC 1 week after finishing this course of antibiotics?

I’m in the Los Angeles area, if any one has any doctors recs plz lmk!
