Gonorrhea retesting
Hello, I am 9 weeks pregnant. I went to the hospital last Tuesday Nov 5, 2013 because I had a little bit of blood when I went to the bathroom and some pain on my left side. While I was there they did cultures and blood tests and an ultrasound. The blood test confirmed I'm A- blood type and they gave me a shot of Rhogram. The ultra sound showed that I have a cyst right next to my baby. The doctor said that the babies heartbeat was good. Now yesterday November 13, 2013 the hospital calls me and says that my cultures came back positive for gonorrhea. They perscribed me four pills of 500mg tablets of Azithromycin. I took the medicine 30 minutes after they called. They told me to make an appointment with my obgyn to get tested in ten days to make sure it goes away. Then I call my obgyn today and my doctor tells me she can't retest me for a month after I take the pills and she said the doctors at the hospital are not obgyn's and don't know what they are talking about. I already had this problem with her two weeks ago when the hospital said you need an ultrasound one to two weeks to make sure the baby is okay because of the cyst and she denied me again and said I have to wait till December 6, 2013.
I don't trust my doctor at all. I'm very afraid for my baby. This is my first pregnancy and with all these issues I'm not sure the baby is going to make it. Is it true I need to wait one month to retest? |

ALL Doctors are trained in everything during medical school before they specialize... which only affords them a more detailed knowledge in one field. How do I know this...a very good friend of mine attened medical school and became a doctor during the time were were friends....he told me about all of this over 20 years ago....and it still holds true today.
Meaning while they might not be OB/GYN specialists... they were trained in it and know more than anyone who has never attended or graduated medical school. Meaning your feelings that they don't know anything truly are incorrect. You might now want your general practitioner doing brain surgery... but even a brain surgeon knows things outside of his specialty. There however is nothing wrong with getting a second opinion from another doctor or specialist if you have any doubts. |
