last doctor i consulted gave me a course

If you continue like this, doctors will
try all the antibiotics on you.
Antibiotics are given for treating
infections but you didn’t give me any
proof that you have an infection.
Testicular pain and yellow urethral
discharge may suggest that you have some
urinary-genital infection but any
infection should be proved by a
microbiological or serological
examination. Microbiological examinations
are done in order to isolate the bacterium
and if a bacterium is isolated, its
sensitivity to various antibiotics is
tested in order to choose the proper
antibiotic for treatment. Some bacteria
(Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Ureoplasma…) can
not be isolated but their antigens can be
detected with serological tests. When we
assume a urinary-genital infection, a
urine, sperm and urethral smear for
microbiological/serological examination
should be taken .
You didn’t report any bacteria that was
isolated or serologically proved in your
case!
You can request several diagnostic
procedures:
1. Standard blood analyses (blood count,
sedimentation, CRP, urea, creatinin, uric
acid, AST, ALT…);
2. Urinary analyses (sediment, nitrates,
proteins…);
3. microbiological examination of urine,
sperm and urethral smear;
4. serological examinations;
5. ultrasound scan (kidneys, bladder,
prostate and testicles);
If not treated properly urinary-genital
infections can become chronic. You may
want to consult a urologist and
nephrologist about this problem.
