Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am getting married next year, and I wanted to tell you that I had sexual intercourse with multiple partners until now. And recently, I had oral sex with a masseur. I wanted to get tested for STD’s. So, if you can help me with the list of tests, I will get it done. I wanted to be tension-free before planning kids with my life partner. Please help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Most of the labs have STD panel tests. You should get the STD panel tested. It will cover all.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

One more thing, since one week, I am getting mild pain in my penis. I get it mostly while urinating. It is very mild pain and no other sores on it. Could you please prescribe any tablet for this pain?

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gulati

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It seems some infection. Please take antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications for one week, and get a urine culture done.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Which antibiotics should I take?

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gulati

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Take capsule Augmentin (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 mg twice a day for five days, Tablet Enzoflam (Paracetamol, Diclofenac, and Serratiopeptidase) twice a day for three days, capsule Vizylac (Lactic acid Bacillus) twice a day for five days, capsule Razo-D (Rabeprazole and Domperidone) twice a day for five days.

Get urine culture and semen analysis done.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

As you suggested, I have completed my antibiotics course and got urine culture, semen analysis, and STD panel test. The result is more than the index value in the std panel HSV 1, 2 IgG serum. Is this positive? Please go through the test reports images attached and suggest some medicines to cure this HSV 1, 2 IgG.

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gulati

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

IgM is negative, which means no active infection. IgG reflects old infections in the past, so medications are not necessary. But with your history, as a precaution, you can take medications for five days.

Take tablet Acivir (Aciclovir) 400 mg thrice a day for five days. No need for further testing unless any symptoms.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

Is this any life-threatening disease? Because I have read so many cases on the interest that there is no cure for herpes. Could you please suggest some precautions and the mild pain on the tip of my penis is still there? Please help me.

Answered by Dr. Rajesh Gulati

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Herpes is curable and not life-threatening. And mild penis pain will go away with time.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
