Hello Dr. XXXXXXX
Thank you greatly for your prompt response. To your questions , yes. Symptoms range from mild to severe. burning on urination, frequency, and urgency. Prior to taking the Cipro the wek prior had a very bad time Very frequent need, little urine coming out and pain.Have tested for STD all negative. Actually things had been going pretty good with symptoms. I ran out of most of the supplements i usually take (zinc, l-arginine, l-citrulline, fish oil, potassium, calcium/magnesium/zinc, B, D, and others. and waited to replenish. After having not taking them for a couple of weeks symptoms increased significantly. I usually drink lemon water every day and have not done that for awhile. Went to PCP he prescribed 2 weeks of Cipro and today is day 8. The first three days on cipro was extremly clear urine and urgency, burning, etc. was virtually gone. Then material returned sporadically. The attached photos are from this morning and was significant amount of material ( I had been drinking a diet soda). Oddly also, if I squeeze the end of my penis/urethra behind the head prior to urination which seems to help build pressure for improved stream sometimes seems to make more material come out. Additionally, if if i press on my urethra below my testicles this also seems to improve stream. Prior to the episode this morning was actually feeling pretty good. However, when I had to go it was very urgent and then afterwards feel great. Could this be a result of a biofilm type circumstance and what to do to improve it.
Thank you very much XXXXXXX Gonzalez
