I was recently diagnosed with a kidney infection, my right flank pain is still present and I still have spouts of feeling ill after taking 3 doses of my perscribed Anti-biotic (ciprofloxacin). My doctor told me that I should feel better within 24 hours so I was wondering if this is normal or if it is something I should be conserned about. How long after taking medication will my pain go away?
Burning pain and bleeding during urination is due to infection, if not treated appropriately can lead to damage to the kidney. I would suggest that you get a urine analysis with culture done, and take the course of antibiotics depending upon the report.
The other causes for bleeding in urine could be renal stones, glomerulonephritis, urethral rupture etc. But I, think it is more of infectious component playing the role in your case.
Consult a urologist for further assistance.

After 10 days of an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) I felt better but the bleeding started again. Am now back on 10 more days of same antibiotic but this time am having lower pelvic pain amd discomfort. Could this be something other than a UTI? Urine culture showed a bacterial infection. Is it common for this to take 1 or 2 courses of antibiotics to clear up?

Is it possible for ciprofloxacin to cause vitreous detachment and floaters? I had never noticed floaters previously, but after a 20-day course of ciprofloxacin I now have 4 or 5 floaters across both eyes and have also experienced flashing lights in my eyes when I am in a dark room.

I have seen doctors since and was tested for hernias and also had an ultrasound that revealed normal blood flow to both testicles and no masses. I am also currently on ciprofloxacin for epididymitis but my urine has tested clear on several different occasions. Currently the pain in my testicles is almost gone but I have increased lower back pain that was not there before. I also feel as if I have almost completely lost my sex drive which is very depressing.

2cm cyst interposed between the inferior aspect of the right love of the liver and the kidney which was suggested was presumably an exophytic right renal cyst however it was also suggested that a mesenteric cyst could also have this appearance.
My doctor seemed surprised that it was situated between the liver and the kidney. I have been referred to an urologist but am awaiting an appointment time. Could you please explain the difference btween the two types of cyst?
They took blood and urine samples and diagnosed a kidney infection, despite the fact I had not had kidney pain - although some slight genital ache and need to urinate urgently. Prescribed 10 day Ciprofloxacin antibiotics which I finished. Mild ache in kidneys only started once I started taking the antibiotics. Doctor took another urine sample after I'd finished the course and told me the infection was gone.

Most uncomplicated UTIs can be treated with oral antibiotics such as trimethoprim, cephalosporins, nitrofurantoin, or a fluoroquinolone (e.g., ciprofloxacin or levofloxacin). Trimethoprim is probably the most widely used antibiotic for UTIs and is usually taken for 7 days. It is often recommended that trimethoprim be taken at night to ensure maximal urinary concentrations and increase its effectiveness.

Hi everyone, I am currently suffering from some kidney infection symptoms. I recently had a UTI and was put on two different antibiotics one of them being ciprofloxacin. I have still been experiencing some symptoms of the UTI (they aren't as bad as before) such as a slight burning while I pee and an urge to urinate.

From the posts I read it seems that many were taking above the max dose 4000 mg of acetaminfen daily. Irreversable liver/kidney damage has always been a big concern to me which is why I never exceed the 4000 mg a day. I just had blood drawn yesterday & will nervously await the results. If they tell me my enzymes are higher it will be easier to quit. I think. Have any of you had any damage to liver/kidney damage as a result of your vicodin use?
All urine cultures have been negative. My kidney function is normal. Cystoscopy showed no anatomical abnormalities. I have not been given a 24hr urine test.
Although my kidney function is normal, I am concerned because I feel that my urine looks more concentrated/yellow than it used to. I stay hydrated, drinking plenty of water.
My urologist is more concerned about prostate health, although I am young (24) and have never been sexually active.
I'm interested to know your story, why you think all these problems are related to fluoroquinolone antibiotic?, it's described that they can agravate or cause some of those problems like tendon pain , ......the problem is the abuse of some kind of antibiotics as first line when there are others with less side effects.....
