Wallenda Posted November 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 If you take antibiotics and stop before you are suppose, all you have done is killed the weak bacterias and left the stronger ones to multiply. You may have a resistant strain that is not completely eliminated by the antibiotics you took. This is one reason people were urging you to see a doctor and not self diagnose and self treat. OK don't worry, I'll be continuing to take antibiotics for awhile. The one good point made by some of those guys I reacted to, which I should have acknowledged, is that they're right about the wisdom of going to a doctor. Reading what I wrote above, maybe I did overreact a bit to the parts I was interpreting as slams. Just out of curiosity, if I did go to a doctor, how would they determine what it was exactly? I remember when I went to a doc in the US years back, he just asked a few questoins and prescribed... I think it was tetracycline. Fuzzy memory, sorry. Pretty sure that was it because I remember thinking how strange it seemed that it was the same med I'd had prescribed for acne years earlier. And he said it was gonnorhea. But he didn't take a blood or urine sample. How is it done in Thailand these days? Do they check carefully to make sure what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidflux Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 If you don't have any symptoms all they can do is go by what you describe to them. That's one reason seeing them straight away is beneficial, so they can see your symptoms firsthand and make a better prognosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallenda Posted November 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 It seems as if they were really keen on finding out exactly what it was for sure, they'd take a sample -- which I think would need to be a urine sample. But they didn't do that with me when I went. Do they ever take urine samples, or do they just go by symptoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Maybe they will use a q-tip and see if they can get some puss to examine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Testing Gonorrhea testing is done on: * Fluid collected from the area of the body that is likely to be infected. Women should not douche or use vaginal creams or medicines for at least 24 hours before having a gonorrhea test. * Urine. Do not urinate for 1 hour before a urine sample is collected.

Faustian Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I guess there's only one way to find out! Get yourself down to Silom soi 4 and conduct a survey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkoktraveler Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I said drip, not droop. Can you imagine having a shitty, clappy ass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
