Advice needed
I just tested positive for ureaplasma after almost 9 months of symptoms and a few positive tests for BV that were treated. The BV tests are now coming back negative but now I have to treat the ureaplasma. I have mild symptoms: mainly discharge and occasionally some dull pain. I also have autoimmune issues that have been flaring nonstop the past 2 months so I’m quite certain my immune system is in pretty bad shape. Currently trialing a new med for this and being super careful about my diet & taking probiotics daily.
My gyno prescribed me moxifloxacin 400mg for 7 days. I’m traveling abroad in 10 days with no clue when I’ll be back in the states (going to care for my dad who has stage IV cancer and is likely going to pass soon). From what I’ve read, a 7 day treatment is usually not enough. Has anyone gotten rid of this with a short treatment? Should I ask my doctor for a longer treatment in case? I feel annoying because I sent her a few messages today when I got the results because I was super anxious and already requested a diflucan prescription in case. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Edit: to add I’m extremely sensitive to antibiotics especially doxycycline that’s why she opted for the moxifloxacin. I’ve never taken it so we’ll see how that goes but I’ll suffer through the side effects in hopes of getting rid of this nightmare😞
