antibiotics

518733 tn?1333017015 t want any water infections ( I am assuming you are referring to bladder or UTI) to go untreated when you are pregnant. I have heard of many women getting antibiotics for a bladder infection and some women were even able to take some for a really bad sinus infection. Try not to stress too much - your doc knows your pregnant right??
Avatar n tn Did they give you antibiotics for the UTI? Make sure and let your dr. know. Are you running a fever?
Avatar f tn Yea they put me on it for a while for a uti. I'm resistant to it, but other than that its totally safe for pregnant women.
Avatar f tn Hey everyone, about three months ago I got my paragard IUD out after having it in for six years. That very night I went home and felt symptoms of an oncoming UTI, a really slight burning (not when I pee, just a burning "down there") and the frequent urge to urinate. Well, it never turned into an actual UTI; it was just those faint symptoms, which confused me. I thought maybe they were a weird side effect of Paragard removal and ignored them for a few weeks.
Avatar f tn go to a doctor to get tested just incase, if you are on antibiotics it can cause stuff like that but so can a pregnancy, and if you are pregnant the antibiotics could harm the baby if used for a long time.
Avatar m tn I’d for sure test accurately for mycoplasma genitalium. No antibiotics for 3-4 weeks and test first void urine.
Avatar f tn They should have them within 24 hours when they test your urine for bacterial. If it is positive, go for another round of antibiotics but also incorporate probiotics into your routine. The supplement type you take in a pill or the yogurt you eat or drink in smoothing form. This can greatly impact your ph balance. Has your urologist checked you for kidney stones? Bladder stones? Those can cause this situation. Also, an abnormality in your anatomy. That can be checked.
5915949 tn?1396188227 And i just finished a different course of antibiotics for a uti. Both meds were class b drugs. The benefits def. outweighed the risks for me. But its up to you and whatever you decide.
Avatar f tn Im 15 weeks pregnant and each month Ive been to the doctor there has been bacteria in my urine. I took antibiotics for a uti and still have bacteria in urine. Theyve sent my urine off for a culture but nothing has grown anytime. My doctor doesnt know why. Is this bad or something I should worry about? Why is nothing growing?
Avatar f tn Hi I have a bad history with bladder infections and would recommend to take antibiotics. The bacteria can cause more damage to u and your baby later on then the antibiotics.

8106960 tn?1396643389 Antibiotics & cranberry juice! They're typical for pregnant women.
Avatar n tn She told me not to worry and that it was most likely a uti, and that they were common during pregnancy. She called me in an antibiotic. Even though she told me not to worry I can't help myself but to worry. Any idea of anything possibly being wrong scares the hell out of me.Anyone else have/had one during pregnancy. Am I just freaking myself out??
Avatar f tn I'm currently in the middle of one. The blood when I peed was the alarm bells in my head when I went to the hospital. I let the pain go for a good three days before I went because I thought maybe I had just overdone it on the house cleaning. I was prescribed Macrobid 100mg or Nitrofur Macro/Nitro Mono. Completely safe for baby! Hope this helps and good luck!
5900973 tn?1396064391 I had a uti and kidney infection when i was pregnant with my daughter ended up in the er from the pain of kidney infection they gave me a scrip for antibiotics and a low grade vic and told me to drink lots of cranberry juice and water
1661682 tn?1313135396 so I was on antibiotics last week for a uti. I can only take 1 pregnancy safe antibiotic as we found out last month I'm allergic to the rest. But I finished taking it Monday and I'magill having the signs of a uti, shooting pains in my stomach and feeling sick and non stop peeing. These are the symptoms I have had the last to months when I have had a uti. But how come my antibiotics didn't work or am I just unlucky and got another uti straight away.
568812 tn?1379165794 t treat you like a diseased **** if you must go in for two infections in the same year. If you must, hit a mexican border town or the internet for your necessary treatments. Finally, if you are having sex and you are having repeated infections, your partner needs to be treated with whatever works for you so s/he won't give it back to you after you're cured.
Avatar n tn I haven't used coconut oil for a uti but its great for its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal properties. Same with olive leaf extract.
Avatar f tn Today I noticed a slight tint of pink in my urine. I called the hospital abd they said I probably have a uti. Anyone else experience this? I don't have burning at all. I started drinking lots of water and now my urine isn't pink. Can it go away on its own?
Avatar f tn this is like my 4th uti in the last 2 months ...
Avatar f tn Definitely take the antibiotics. Uti is something that needs antibiotics to cure and if it goes untreated then can develop into a kidney problem which in some cases can cause early labour. Much safer to take the meds. I've been on the same antibiotics twice during this pregnancy and am now 36+ weeks and baby is perfectly healthy.
Avatar f tn I recently got put on IV antibiotics for a pretty bad UTI. What my doctor did was to arrange for a pharmacy to deliver the meds to my house, and the pharmacy arranged for a home nurse to come by and administer it. It's not fun having that tube in your arm all week, but after the first day, I was able to administer my own treatments (and I'm normally terrified of needles and IVs).
Avatar f tn Hey guys thanks heaps. I went to my gp tpday and she's certain its a UTI.
Avatar f tn I got an over the counter uti test and it came back that I had one... Weird! Lol. So I took the antibiotics for a week and took another test and it came back that my uti is gone..
Avatar f tn Agreed with JanetJean. I was told I had a uti 2 weeks ago and was put on antibiotics for 7 days due to cloudy urine and now it's back to normal. Antibiotics was safe and no harm to my daughter. Get tested by your ob asap cause a uti can cause premature labor.
Avatar f tn I think I've seen women on here saying they've taken Monistat for a yeast infection.
Avatar m tn She said she have had UTI after sex like 20 years ago and it got cleared by antibiotics. She had UTI another time couple of years later. She said she always keeps her hands clean to prevent UTI when having sex (which makes me doubt if she only had UTI twice or more in her life?). Last time I heard a girl said she had to clean herself to prevent UTI after sex she had genital herpes.
