antibiotics used to treat uti

I think I currently have a UTI. Is it safe to take azo or meds used to treat a UTI while trying to conceive? Will it interfere with implantation?

firsttimemommy is right. I had 2 kidney infections with my first pregnancy. My only symptom was back pain. I didn't even know I had a UTI that had gotten worse. With this pregnancy, My doctor wanted me to be on antibiotics the entire pregnancy just because kidney infections are so serious and dangerous during pregnancy. Talk do you doctor about how the benefits outweigh the risks.

I'm not really sure but generally UTI's do not smell anything like BV. BV is foul. It's in the vagina. And a UTI is in the bladder way down the urethra. You could have had a slight odor and mistaken it for BV. But the good news is it is going away. BV is hard to treat and flagyl is the drug of choice which is a different class of antibiotics used to treat UTI's. But they are all antibiotics and will all have an affect on pathogens.

As specialmom said, the antibiotics used to treat UTIs can cause a rebound yeast infection, but it's really hard to get a yeast infection of the urinary system. Sexual intercourse can cause both, though. If it's just the outer area that hurts when you pee and you also itch, it's probably a yeast infection. If your urine is cloudy, you have a fever, and you have belly or low back pain, it's more likely a UTI (UTIs don't have to present this way though).

Yes i am getting treated just thought it would also help...

Take the antibiotics, with my first son I had a uti but didn't realise until I was in the back of an ambulance with my womb contracting due to a uti at 18 weeks. I was started on an anti biotic drip & steroids to mature the baby's lungs.

I had that too due to antibiotics. My doctor said to me its best to finish of the antibiotics for the treatment of uti first and only AFTER that treat the yeast infection cuz it wouldnt go away othrwise. Bt u cud still use the cream for the itch while ur on the antibiotic. I did as the doctor said and i was given a 3 day treatment for the yeast infection. But it wudnt go away just got worse so I went back to doctor and she gave me a weeks supply of the treatment and finally im now yeast free!!

Here is the antibiotic rule 101--- never stop the antibiotics midway. You have to take the full course even if symptoms resolve. Even if a dipstick says it is gone. If it is prescribed for 7 days, you take all doses for those 7 days. Here is why. Bacteria is SMART. You half treat it with only a half course of antibiotics . . . that bacteria probably is still there in undetectable amounts and it starts to morph and change so that the antibiotics become ineffective.

I was given a prescription for Norfloxacin to treat a UTI, diagnosed as cystitis. Based on information I've read online, this looks like a strong and potentially dangerous antibiotic to take for what I understand to be a common UTI. I am not completely comfortable with the circumstances in which I was given this antibiotic, which may be contributing to my doubts. Is this a reasonable antibiotic for me to take?

Anyone else have or get a Uti?! How'd you treat yours? I need helpful advice.

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.

Cranberry juice will only help to prevent uti's. It will not make one go away, and it won't help with yeast infection.

Its best to treat it asap because I waited & started to pee blood and I was so close to getting a kidney infection so try to drink a lot of water and treat it!!

I used antibiotics around 8-9 weeks and read thongs about what was given to me. I freaked but took it anyway and put it in Gods hands. Im now 33w3d along. Your doctor wouldn't give you something to hurt you or the baby.

s are very common in pregnant women, and there are safe antibiotics that your dr can give you to treat them. As long as you get it treated, your baby should be just fine.

Anyone ever treat a uti with home remedies? I'm 18 weeks i have a uti but the antibiotics i got from my doctor is killing me i just threw all my meals from this morning. I threw up soo much that i am sweating I have never felt soo horrible in my life.

You need antibiotics for a uti. Call your Dr they should work you in soon to treat it.

You need to get antibiotics to treat this. It's not good to leave a UTI untreated in pregnancy, which the doctors know, so I don't understand why they can't give you any. I would go back to your general doctor and see if they'll prescribe them. I do know that there's only 3 different antibiotics you can take in the first trimester to treat a UTI, so they need to at least try one of them.

Is it normal to get a ( UTI ) Urinating track infection during pregnancy.

I dont take antibiotics because i can have just 1 in the morning and it will be gone by midday. I just try to prevent them and if I get them I treat the symptoms. I would take antibiotics though if i was in your situation.

Most of the times that I used to get treated my wife used to as well. It is not just a female problem, males get it too. All the best.

I know they are supposed to prevent them, but I don't think they treat them. You'll need antibiotics.

Do i need to go to the doc for a uti? Been drinking cranberry juice but its gettimg worse and more painful...

Doctor diagnosed as a UTI and she has take the prescribed antibiotics. She now feels like the UTI has turned into PID. My questions are: What are the possibilities I passed an STD to my girlfriend with the protection and negative tests? How long can and STD survive on a sex toy? Should I get retested since I took the above course of antibiotics starting on April? Thank you for taking a look at my concerns and I look forward to your response.
