Penile Discharge "Tulo"





A 24 year old, male, married, OFW, visited the clinic for a light yellow discharge coming out of his penis for the past 3 days, staining his underwear, he also complains of pain during urination. He admitted having sexual intercourse with a prostitute about 5 days before symptoms appeared. He is scheduled to depart for the Middle East in 3 days.
After physical examination and confirming the creamy penile discharge, with no laboratory test and no possibility of follow up, I gave the following meds.
1) Doxycycline 100mg tab. 2 tablets initially then 1 tablet every 12 hours(2xday) for 10 days plus
2) Cefixime 200mg Tab , 1 tab every 12 hours for 5 days

Gonococcal urethritis (check my latest blog on GC Urethritis,"Tulo" here -http://wazzupdok.blogspot.com/2010/12/tulo-or-gonococcal-urethritis.html

Gonorrhoea is caused by the bactterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae that grow and multiply in the reproductive tract of women(cervix ,uterus, fallopian tubes) and men (urethra). The bacteria can also multiply in eyes, mouth, throat and anus.

Incubation period usually takes two to five days from infection to symptoms and without treatment,the symptoms of urethritis (inflammation of the urethra) and purulent (pus-containing) discharge peak within two weeks.

Most notable symptom is the penile discharge which occurs in 95 per cent of men and is purulent in 75 per cent, white or cloudy in 10 per cent and clear in 5 per cent. Recent urination can make the discharge appear less purulent. When the infection begins to resolve, the discharge changes from purulent to mucoid (mucus-like).

Transmission of the disease is usually by sexual intercourse, including oral sex and without treatment, the infection can continue for many months.

Complications can occur and spread up the urethra to the epididymis (sperm-storing tube connected to the testicles) but is rare and infertility can be a rare late complication. Anal infection is common especially, but not only, when the infection is transmitted by anal intercourse. Bloodstream infection occurs in less than 1 per cent of patients, causing arthritis of the knees, wrists and hands plus fever, chills and skin lesions, usually papules or pustules (red or pus-containing raised spots or bumps) on the hands or feet.

Hi, if the diagnosis is Gonococcal Urethritis (Tulo),we usually prescribe Cefixime Tab 200mg , 2tablets taken as single dose plus Azythromycin 500mg tab, 2 tablets as single dose. I advise everyone experiencing symptoms of STD to seek medical consultation.
Thanks.

MDs would advice against self-medicating with antibiotics. Whatever would work for one person might not work for the next. To add to that, these bacteria might become resistant to the antibiotics we have so self-medicating is not the way to go. As the blogger posted, this wasn't intended to replace a consult with a doctor. So please consult your doctor.

Hello everyone out there i'm Valencia Grimsley,Do you know that there is a great Herbal doctor who can cure any deadly disease? Like Cancer, Hiv,HPV, syphilis, diabetes, herpes madness, low spam count and fertility problem e.t.c. Well my main reason why i am writing this right now is to inform the whole world about the great deeds, Dr.Ebosa did for me. I was diagnosed of this deadly disease in the year 2007 ever since then i was taking my medications, until i met the great herbal doctor, though i never believed in herbal med. I saw many testimonies on how a great herbal doctor cured their deadly diseases. I contacted him through his phone number. I called him, he asked me to send him my email, which i did. He gave me a form to fill, I filled it and send it back to him. He told me that he required some items in which he will use in preparing the herbal medicine for me. I don't know where to find the items he required. He told me that the only alternative is for me to send him the money, then he can help me to purchase the items from the items sellers. I promised myself to do anything to get cured. I sent him the money. He bought the items and he prepared the herbal medicine and send to me through courier service delivery and i make use of it as he instructed. few weeks later he asked me to go for check-up, when i did the check-up i was tested HIV Negative. If you are passing through hardship and you need a way out, kindly contact him via his email on ebosaherbalremedy@hotmail.com and drabosaherbscure@gmail.com or http://ebosaherbalremedy.blogspot.com.

Gusto ko lang itanong kung paano mo masasabi na wala ka ng tulo sa singit? Dun kasi ako nagkaroon. At may mga butlig na din siya pero now based sa na search ko umiinom ako ng Ciprofloxacin every 12hrs daw sabi nila. Natatakot ako mag pakosulta kasi sa doktor. Ngayon pangalawang araw ko palang umiinom ng gamot.

Hi everyone I suggest na you should go to the doctor I am bearer din 3 days ko nalaman na meron ako std. pnta kayo sa mga hosp nearby sainyo. Mas adviceable na mag pa paconsult. Wag kayo ma hihiya kasi tutulungan naman nila kayo nkakahiya lang sa una. Bngyan lang ako ng inject sa muscular good for 1 week na yung gamot then 2 tablets of azithromycin. Kinabukasan na lessen na yung burning sensasion during pee time or pag ihi. Then pangalawa pangatlong araw clear na ihi ko. Then sabi ng doctor 1 week wala na yung STD ko. Pero advice nila na mag pa consult pa. Kaya guys wag kayo mahihiya tumakbo na agad kayo sa mga hospital or clinic na malapit sainyo. And pray lagi mag bago ng gumaang na ang mga pamumuhay natin. Iwas na din sa vises guys. Wag kayo mapang hinaan need lang gamutin guys. Ingat kayo lagi next time have a safe sex nlng or mag iingat nlng. Sana maka tulong and gumaang pakiramdam nyo.

Guys kung ako senyo wag na kayo mahiya. Hiya o pantay paa sa ilalim ng lupa? Lahat naman ng tao nakikipagsex diba? Ako meron din pero naglakas loob ako pacheck up. Bakit ko iintindihin ung iisipin ng iba kung kalusugan ko nakasalalay diba?
