Avatar n tn Crystals can be dangerous in male dogs because if they become large enough they can become lodged in the urethra and cause blockage (even in dogs, though more common in male cats). Most urinary tract infections do not involve crystals and can be successfully treated with antibiotics.

565147 tn?1218252591 Hi, “infections of the urinary tract are the second most common type of infection in the body. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for about 8.3 million doctor visits each year.* Women are especially prone to UTIs for reasons that are not yet well understood. One woman in five develops a UTI during her lifetime. UTIs in men are not as common as in women but can be very serious when they do occur. Normally, urine is sterile.
Avatar m tn against the blockade this results in colic, which is severe attacks of pain. The other causes for the pain could be persisting urinary tract infections, prolapsed intervertebral disc or inflammatory diseases of the colon. Please discuss this with your doctor who will do blood tests, x- rays and may ask for an ultrasonogram to find out the cause for the pain. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

Avatar f tn Hi, Lower back pain can sometimes be associated with Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), Kidney Infections, and various other health issues. Sometimes bacteria (usually E. Coli) from loose stool or diarrhea can find it's way to the urethra and can travel into the urinary tract causing an infection. If left untreated, the infection can cause pain and eventually extreme illness.
Avatar n tn Another important cause of recurrent urinary tract infections is a unstable urinary bladder which causes voiding symptoms like burning sensation, frequency, urgency etc. A girl with voiding symptoms is at increased risk of developing recurrent urinary tract infections because there is reflux of urine with bacteria into the bladder.
Avatar f tn Urinary tract infections cause pain like cramps on your lower abdomen....
Avatar f tn In children without urinary tract infections 17.2-18.5% have VUR, whereas in those with urinary tract infections the incidence may be as high as 70% Age Younger children are more prone to VUR because of the relative shortness of the submucosal ureters. This susceptibility decreases with age as the length of the ureters increases as the children grow. In children under the age of 1 year with a urinary tract infection, 70% will have VUR. This number decreases to 15% by the age of 12.
Avatar n tn There are plenty of reliable supplements which can provide adjunct therapy but nothing works as quickly as antibiotics, and since urinary tract infections can be painful I would treat her as soon as you can. Cranberry juice or capsules are a good supplement for the urinary tract as a preventative and adjunct therapy.
Avatar f tn m not a doctor but it sounds to me like you got a yeast infection from the antibiotics for the urinary tract infection. A lot of doctors recommend eating yogurt while on antibiotics so you don't get yeast infections. You might want to try eating it now perhaps it will help. If you do you need to make sure it's yogurt with live bacteria. Hope this helps!
Avatar f tn I am wondering if a Urinary tract infection can cause a pregnancy test to be negative.
Avatar n tn There is nothing you can really do about the urinary tract infection except take the antibiotics. They may want you to take a stronger antibiotic (prescribed by your doctor) but being pregnant makes us more probable to have urinary tract infections. It doesn't become a problem unless you ignore it.
Avatar n tn Hi there. Actually, E.Coli is the most common cause of all urinary tract infections. It takes place often when someone has a bowel movement and wipes back to front rather than front to back. E coli then transfers to the uretha and gets into the urinary tract. She was on IV antibiotics so was in the hospital?
493068 tn?1224765315 The condition occurs when the normally clean lower urinary tract is infected by bacteria and becomes inflamed. Urinary tract infections are very common. Most of the time, symptoms of a urinary tract infection disappear within 24 - 48 hours after treatment begins. However, if the condition occurs more than twice in 6 months, lasts longer than 2 weeks, or does not respond to usual treatment, it is considered chronic. The elderly are at increased risk for such infections.
Avatar f tn Your antibiotics were quite strong, is there any chance you have been battling yeast infections caused by them? This is quite common, and a yeast infection can cause burning and discomfort as well and antibiotics can make it worse. Do you have access to over-the-counter pyriduim and cranberry capsules or juice? The pyriduim numbs the urinary tract (and turns your urine an alarming orange color), and the cranberry coats your urinary tract, making it harder for the bacteria to grow.
