Btwn school and work I have no time for a docs appt!! Do you think my dr would prescribe me diflucan over the phone w/o seeing? Also what r some over the counter medications that will clear it up if she won't prescribe me something w/o seeing me?
Its common to get it while pregnant if you ard if your not it doesnt matter still let your doctor know and he or she will give you some antiobiotics but make sure if you are pregnant to let your doctor know asap because bladder infections usually cause.the baby to come earlier . Hope this helps and gooddluck !!
yup its normal....doc gave me a cream for 5 days and it went away! good luck!
Hi I looked this up, it used to be called Macrobid. It is just for bladder infections so that is good.
If your doctor knows about your liver, I think this would be safe. I am not a doctor but I also have compensated cirrhosis and always worry about antibiotics.
I learned that penicillin or penicillin family is the safest.
In your case, it sounds like it is worth it to use it.
Good luck!
Sources of a persistent infection include a kidney or bladder stone, an obstructed kidney or ureter, or a chronic deep seeded infection of the kidney or bladder tissue that takes long term high dose antibiotics to clear. You need to see a Urologist who can order x-rays or an ultrasound of your kidneys and can look into the bladder and urethra for evidence of a persistent infection.
A urologist offered a prescription for those same antibiotics i keep taking, but enough that i can treat myself whenever i feel an infection coming on. I will take a course of antibiotics to GET RID of the infection, but NOT to treat it. I also don't think that you randomly break out in a series of seemingly incurable infections for no apparent reason. HELP. i don't know whats wrong and quite frankly, doctors don't give a ****.
s are very common in pregnancy - especially because your immune system is lowered. Are you on antibiotics? It is really, really important to treat bladder infections promptly, especially in the third trimester. Sex can be a big trigger for infections - make sure that you urinate after sex and clean yourself well. Also, if you have lots of discharge during pregnancy - make sure that you wear pantiliners and change them frequently.
Do you know if your urine was cultured or was a urinalysis only done? Sometimes doctors start patients on antibiotics and dont culture the urine therefore treat the infection blindly. Sorry this is kind of late but i just logged on to this site. If you feel you have another uti make sure you have your urine cultured. If it was then you can try taking some AZO over the counter for your symptoms. Hope you feel better.
A single antibiotic is never used to combat helibactor plylori infections. Three antibiotics are used at the same time.
A more effective treatment (but this depends upon the etiology of the food poisoning) would be ordinary inexpensive pepto-bismal, whose germ killing ability stems from the substance bismuth, an effective bactericidal agent against virtually all bacteria.
Hi,
Nitrofurantoin is the generic name of Macrobid and is used to treat urinary tract infections. It is not expected to be harmful to an unborn baby, unless it is used during the last 2 to 4 weeks of pregnancy. You can first take the antibiotics until the prescribed period then take the pregnancy test after. It is important to finish the course of antibiotics even if symptoms improve before the infection is completely cleared. Take care and keep us posted.
They gave me antibiotics but im only on the first day.. im hoping to get some cranberry juice in the morning..
of infections with a mild chronic swelling of the bladder walls and cauterised the area so as to speed up the process. I was in the hospital for 5 days taking 3-4 antibiotics (very strong). Biopsies and more technical tests were conducted. From the bladder lining taken many staphylococcus hominis bacteria were found. I took antibiotics until 13.11.2008 (tablets - Selexid and Bactrimel) and in the next 2 days will have another urine sample taken.
form of bacteria that is being researched--it causes bladder infections that are resistant to antibiotics. I am beginning to speculate that it might also be a cause of vaginal infections. It might be worth while to have some cultures taken to see if there is one specific organism that stands out, and treat that--often beta strep is prevalent.
If you were my patient, I would also treat for yeast with Diflucan and probiotics.
Perhaps, you have a persistent/resistant type of bacteria and need to treat it for a long time with a combination of antibiotics, or with stronger antibiotics that you've already had.
Aside from the scope, did you ever have any other tests, like an ultrasound (kidneys, ureters etc.) to check if there are any anatomical defects or kidney stones that could be causing the frequent UTI's?
You mentioned you suffer from candida albicans. That's a yeast infection. Are you treating it?
Cranberry Juice is suspose to help with bladder and urinary tract infections. I would also consult a pharmacist, or call the ER 24 hour helpline.
Hi,
From about 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI, kidney infections epididymitis and orchitis. I used to get this about every 3 to 4 months. I used to end up being hospitalized and get antibiotics through an IV.
In 1999 I had a vasectomy in the hope that this would prevent the infections from going into my testicles. The vasectomy had complications and a year later ended up loosing my left testicle due to a staph infection.
The rate of infections slowed down in 2000 up to 2003.
I have had chronic bladder infections for years and have seen several different Urologists some in single
practice, some in large practices with multiple doctors and even at large medical centers like the Cleveland
Clinic and U of M Medical Center. I have brought in multiple urine samples which were tested then sent away for testing. They always come back showing bacteria. I've taken enough antibiotics to become allergic to Sulfa, Bactrum,Cipro and Tetracycline.
