I visit the doctor again and she gave me Nitrofurantoin antibiotics and after taking them once, instantly my erections returned and tests returned to normal size -I am taking 100mg twice in a day . The next day I woke up and my erections were gone again and testes shrunk, I took Nitrofurantoin and nothing is happening . I’m so scared I have phoned 111 and told them this and they told me to
Go to my doctor again - the doctor said she gave me antibiotics already and refused to see me !
Looking for some advice, have had a kidney infection on and off for the last two months, i have been on four weeks of different antib's and have had renal ultra sound. Ultra sound came back clear. Was back at doc today with the same symptoms, no blood was found in urine sample, just acidic levels were not normal also protein found. I was prescribed antib's but only to take if things get worse, ie temp continues and back pain.
Calcifications in the kidney probably mean you have kidney stones. If the pelvic pain is not from an infection your Urologist will be able to evaluate you for Interstitial Cystitis. The typical symptoms are urinary frequency, urgency and pain related to bladder filling. At some point you will need a cystoscopy and hydrodistention to check for IC and rule out other problems related to the blood in the urine. Go to "ichelp.
Hi there. Gosh, to be honest, I don't know how quickly the white blood cells will not be in your urine after infection. You were on antibiotics, which should knock out infection, right? You could also have inflammation of the urinary tract which would result in white blood cells in urine, but bacterial UTI is the most common cause. Some women have Sterile pyuria which is persistent white blood cells in urine without any bacterial infection at all.
I would ask the doctor and/or pharmacist if the tingling will go away after she gets off the Nitrofurantoin and if so then if she can tolerate it and it is working well then you can either up to dose of neurontin or try to tolerate it until the antibiotic is finished. If not then switch. I would not go off anything until talking to the doctor. Depending on the dose of Gabapin, she may have to taper off of it as you cannot go off of it immediately. You will get rebound insomina.
Please help me. No one seems to be able to give me othre options. About 6 months ago I got my first UTI ever. Since then I have had reoccurances and nothing seems to be the matter. They do urine cultures and tell me their fine....but yet there are always traces of nitrates and mostly white blood cells when we do my urine specimen. I've seen a urologist and have had urodynamics done and a cat scan. No one can tell me why I keep on getting them.
A couple of weeks later I developed a urinary tract infection. Urologist prescribed nitrofurantoin for the infection. Immediatedly after starting the antibiotic my ears gradually starting feeling clogged. Now, two weeks later, they are both very clogged (no wax buildup) and I can barely hear. Logic tells me the ear clogging is somehow connected to the nitrofurantoin. Has anyone ever experienced this or heard of this happening? Will this clogging go away by itself?
We’ve since been on 1 round of nitrofurantoin and 2 rounds of cipro (first a 7 day and then a 10 day). She’s had no other symptoms but itching. We go back for urine test in am and I’m sure she still has the bacteria as she is itching. All the tests showed either a small amount or moderate amount of blood but all tests were negative for nitrates and leukocytes. The enterococus keeps increasing with each round of antibiotic.
Hi everyone I posted here about 2 weeks ago with my LFT & ALP here's my first result in my discharged letter, I had repeated blood test last 04 Nov last week, today I visit to my GP today because I'am not feel well I still have infection from my surgery last 03 Oct.I finished my course of antibiotics last week, I will repeat taking for 2 weeks my question even I take Cipro 500mg its not getting harm in my blood test again? I need to repeat blood test on Mon.
I had a Kidney Infection (not while pregnant but had one nonetheless this past May) and it was AWFUL. I didn't have "typical" UTI signs and so it went unnoticed for awhile. I was fine one day and the next I was vomiting non-stop, couldn't hold anything down and was exhausted because I couldn't sleep. I never had a fever, never had pain, never had anything.
Newborns may be lethargic with faltering growth, while infants and young children typically present with pyrexia, dysuria, frequent urination, malodorous urine and GIT symptoms, but only when urinary tract infection is present as the initial presentation of VUR.
Causes
In healthy individuals the ureters enterposteriorly. Together these features produce a valvelike effect that occludes the ureteric opening during storage and voiding of urine.
I also took it during my pregnancy and I'm 15 weeks now. It does say on the pamphlet you're not supposed to take it in your first trimester.
m predisposed to UTI and kidney infection. Currently I have a suprapubic catheter to ensure proper emptying of my bladder.
I much rather have a yeast infection than a kidney infection.
Having had recent problems with Asthma and pneumonia, I'm using an inhaler which causes oral yeast. Even if I brush my teeth right after using the inhaler and rinsing my mouth, I still end up with yeast. I wish that there was a better way of preventing it.
For me it has just become a part of live.
But and the doctor, prescribed ciprobid, doxyl and nitrofurantoin for me and my wife. I have visited the doctor 3times and the last tested I did. He told I had almost nothing in terms of UTI and in my partner there was an indication that she had UTI, and we were both put on medication, but after the medication, I still feel the pain. We have not been meeting with my partner.
I had TURP surgery 5 months ago and contracted an infection from the catheters (3). I've been on antibiotics for months and little improvement. I've also got a case of epididymitis (nuts on fire). Current antibiotic is Nitrofurantoin Macro. Urologist told me to come back in 3 months while my health and quality of life *****!!! What are some other options for treatment? Original culture was Coagulese negative Staph.
Since July I have had a UTI that won't go away even after 6 days in the hospital. They do cultures and sometimes it grows something and then sometimes it doesn't. They put me on antibiotics and while on antibiotics it shows that it is clearing up but as soon as I am taken off the infection comes right back. Originally, I had PID with UTI. Now, the UTI won't go away. I'm tired of being in pain. My brother is a nurse and said chronic UTI can lead to dialysis. Is that true?
I took my course of macrobid 3 weeks ago and all is well . Im wondering if those cases u saw were in the first trimester. Im sure our Ob doctors wouldn't give us unsafe meds knowing we are pregnant.
(My weight is about 145 kg, previously has been 188 kg, with a length of 170cm) It started in 2006, I did get nitrofurantoin, but I got only more ill, till I even got over 41 degree fever and an emergency-doctor then prescribed ciprofloxacin which did help (this was in Holland). Since 2008 we are in UK and I have been under treatment at St George, London, till 2010.
has anyone taken nitrofurantoin mono/Mac 100mg for a uti? if so what the outcome and was your baby Ok afterwards?
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin (macrobid) for a UTI. I have a hard time swallowing pills. Can these be broken up?
gave me a couple treatments of Nitrofurantoin and told me that was all he could do. He said that a prostate infection wouldn't do anything other than hurt. Today I went to see another Dr. It has been almost three years since seeing the last one. This Dr. didn't test my semen, which I thought was normal for diagnosing this sort of infection, and told me that I should think about more new age sort of treatments, acupuncture and the like.
I took nitrofurantoin for a UTI infection and finished my course on Tuesday morning. Yesterday (Friday), I noticed what appears to be hives (small raised bumps with no redness, they didn’t itch) on my legs. I counted 13 - primarily on my thighs and shins. They appear to be gone today, but after I took my puppy for a walk this morning, I noticed small red bumps on my feet and they itched. Is this an allergic reaction to the antibiotics?
