Avatar m tn #2 I went to my family doctor and explained the situation. They gave me a 500mg pill of Cipro, and 100mg Doxy pills for 10 days. I took the medications and symptoms are still present. #3 I went back to the doctor for a 3rd time, they checked my prostate and it's fine, and they took a urine sample and sent it out to the lab. Urine tested negative for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea but it showed that I did have a bacterial infection.
Avatar f tn Major pain. Went to urgent care diagnosed with a UTI. Dr gave Cipro, diflucan and AZO. After 3 days they called to say my culture results showed Cipro wasn't the correct meds. Micro bid was the new med. I've had lower abdomen pain since off and on. Is it not working? Do I have a major case of yeast? I took another diflucan thinking it could be yeast pain. Weird pain.....
867582 tn?1311627397 When I started the Cipro and for about 2-3 weeks post cipro, I had not only the feeling of sitting on a hot plate, but then the real issues began. I couldn't sleep at all due to the burning in my entire saddle area was on fire, I bowel movements became very erratic, I could not empty my bladder without standing in a hot shower. A severe headache sent me to the ER. I thought I had meningitis or a brain bleed. I test were negative, CT of the brain, blood work, and urinalysis.
Avatar f tn Hi, I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives. From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.
1227988 tn?1276504453 Well you were not diagnosed with a STD, but you were not even tested for a STD. So if you did have a STD I could not say. So overall I can't be much help on this. But will say STD symptoms don't show the day after.
Avatar f tn Hi...Kim,Thank you for your response on my post, I'am taking cipro. for another 14 days, I'am not feel better since my surgery from endometriosis & my UTI getting worse first I take Nitrofurantoin 50mg that med.not working, when I take cipro, I feel better but I don't want the side effect, I have blood test on Monday 17 Nov.
Avatar f tn December 16, 2016, diagnosed with UTI was placed on the antibiotic Bactrim, symptoms did not go away went to the walk in clinic they repeated the urine and it showed UTI. Placed me on Cipro symptoms were not any better,culture from walk in showed contamination so they wanted to repeat the specimen. Went to the clinic and gave a repeat specimen, it showed Entercoccus was placed on Augmentin. From research I have found that the only thing that works on Entercoccus bacteria is vancomycin.
364288 tn?1300144506 Hi girls I had a question about UTI's. I recently just got over a UTI last week. I took a 3 day course of cipro and thought I did great over the weekend. Now I'm feeling like I have to go to the bathroom all the time but I'm not feeling any burning or anything just the urgency to go and having hardly anything come out. What is going on? I thought the cipro would do the trick and get rid of the infection!! Help!!
Avatar m tn I have had numerous bouts of epididymitis and orchitis at about every three to four months from about 1994 till about 2000. Having had Cipro work very well for several years, in 2000 I had a Strep B infection of the left testicle following complications from a vasectomy. I ended up loosing my left testicle to the infection and nearly died. The ended up removing the testicle and surrounding tissue leaving the left scrotum open to heal from the inside out.
Avatar f tn Since i had antibiotics in my system, the urine test came back negative for a uti. So the doctor gave me cipro to take for 7 days and told me she was going to send my urine off for culture. Well i have been on the cipro now for 3 days and it still hurts everytime i urinate. I'm really confused because i don't understand what else this could be. I have thought about STD's, but i am married and am monogamous on my part.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if cipro will treat a UTI. cause i dont wanna go through all the **** with the doc. i have cipro here but am unsure to take it or not.. help !?
Avatar f tn So I have a weird feeling in my left side, can’t tell if it’s coming from my colon or intestines. I just came off of Cipro treating a uti and it was more painful during my medication. Pain is going away but anytime I need to make a bowel movement or if I breathe a certain way there’s a weird sensation under my left rib cage and down on my waist. I’m not sure if this is just going to take a while to go away because I did suffered from a pretty bad uti. Also still bloated.
Avatar f tn I am a diabetic patient I took Cipro for UTI, I stopped it 15days back .
Avatar n tn i had protein and blood in my urine and although idont really have classic symptoms of a UTI, he put me on cipro and said if it wasnt better in 48 hours to go back. im just wondering if cipro would work in 48 hours? because i still have achey pains in my sides. i know u have to take it for 10 days.
Avatar n tn Do cipro cause vaginal discharge and oder and disconfort in my stomach and back and sluggishness? This discussion is related to Discomfort after taking Cipro.
Avatar f tn 3 days later symptoms were worse. Went to er. Pee test showed no uti, but they treated me with 5 days of cipro anyways. On the last day of cipro, symptoms were worse. Went back to the er. They tested my urin, and did a pelvic exam where they found cervicitis. Prescribed doxycycline 2 a day for 14 days. She wanted to give me a rocephin shot (in case of gonorrhea) but i refused saying i would get it if my test came back positive. All std tests came back negative...
Avatar n tn After my period, I kept having the urge to pee even when I went and my uti strip said I had blood in my urine..so my doctor put me on cipro for five days. It seems I'm probably allergic to it and I don't want to take anything else. Would a zpak work for me? I've taken three Benadryls today just to rid of the horrible symptoms. I'm only 18 and pretty fed up with medicines.
493068 tn?1224765315 I have chronic bladder infections and on long term Macrobid and still get frequent UTIs. I have had 3+ bacteria for the last 2 months despite Cipro and Levaquin. This morning the UTI is back with burning, frequency. They did not do a C&S before Cipro I think because it is always e-coli. What could be wrong with these 2 meds not working?....I am so tired of this pain and burning. I also have had lower back pain and groin pain for the last 2 mos.
Avatar f tn Told me she started me on Cipro as precautionary measure for poss UTI. At this point (9-10 days into it) told me to stop the Cipro antibiotic (was prescribed two weeks) visual exam showed nothing. Most likely was symptoms of HSV2 and would subside in normal window. Gave me more pyridine. I asked about prostate, he told me absoluteley no connection or possibility. Wouldn't urine test show fungal infection? And yes, new partner as of a month or so.
Avatar m tn and gave me 3 days of Cipro. Cipro did the trick but I ended up feeling not quite over it and called my doctor.. Who made me go for another urine test (which came back normal) but did put me on 7 Days of Augementin @ 875MG. I've felt great but towards the end of the augmentin I did get a wierd uncomfortable feeling towards the end of the medicine. Since coming off I feel great but just a little sore in my gential area and my low back feels very very sore.
Avatar n tn I am living with J pouch 10 years, maintaining on Cipro to prevent poouchitis which is working well. I am symptom free, however, I recently found blood in urine (via urine test, not visible). Doc is ordering 24 hour urine, I was wondering if anyone had similr occurrence of stones or calcifications in urine? Is it due to poor absorpstion of water?
Avatar f tn They started doing cultures and some of them have come back negative for bacteria. Cipro still helped those so the urologist indicated sometimes the infection is not in the bladder but in the urethra and it "hides" the bacteria (won't show up on the cultures.) I have tests I have yet to get done because I just started a new job. I might try to take a day off and schedule a bunch of tests back to back. Still take your medicine but I'd go back in to the doctor.
Avatar f tn Now yesterday not so good . I was soooo tired. But finally I forced myself to take a shower after not being able to for 3 days. And I got out and went to walmart and got my hair cut. Made me feel better.I also have abaaaad bladder infection. Had to get a RX for that. I took that immediately and within a few minutes puked it back up. Hopefully I can keep it down this morning. But today I feel ok. I got up at 5: 30 and went to walmart . I decided to start working one my quilt again.
Avatar f tn The reason that the other poster could have been cured by cipro is that she may have had a Mycoplasma and it may have been sensitive to ciprofloxacin. But the standard treatment for bv is either metronidazole or Clindamycin. So you can try the cipro and see if it clears up but if it doesn't then if can take clindamycin I would then take probiotics after. Cipro can treat a lot of UTI's but not all. It depends on the bacteria that is causing the infection and how resistant it is.
Avatar n tn I thought I had something else and my doctor found that I had a UTI he perscribed Cipro 500mg twice a day for a week. I seem to be going through some bad reactions. I even thought I had HIV. Skin burrning , itching skin, abnormal amount of acne all over the body. I have recently developed photosensitivity. I was out side next day my face developed a rash. Again I thought i had something else never thought of the cipro.
