I would not mess around when you are too young to get yourself to the doctor when you get a bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection, or chlamydia. It's really easy to have problems like this that need medical attention. A urinary tract infection is very painful and can damage your kidneys. It is caused by bacteria getting into your urinary tract. The others are sexually transmitted infections that can lead to infertility.
There is usually a co-factor, such as a depressed immune system. Bear in mind that a urinary tract infection may result from any one of several varieties of bacteria. Some of these critters are more dangerous than others. In some cases something as simple as drinking fresh cranberry juice and reinforcing your immune system with vitamin C and D3 can be sufficicient to solve the problem. In other cases medication may be necessary.
The most common cause is an infection because of the inflammation in the urinary tract. So it is an important possibility. Urinary stones can cause abrasion and irritation resulting in hematuria. Other possible cause is a kidney condition called glomerulonephritis. I would suggest that you consult your Doctor so further investigation can be done.
If yu think it's a urinary infection try drinking cranberry juice until you can see your doctor. That's what they told my sister to do to treat hers and it worked.
i went back and read your previous posts...and for the life of me...i cant figure out what the heck you're trying to say or ask.
i'm gonna give it a shot in the dark here.
originally you posted about a paper cut on your finger and something about a piece of paper. not sure what that's about.
so now...you're stating that you had condom protected sex but that the pro licked you and you had hemorrhoids and you are wondering if that put you at risk. is that correct?
Had a call from my midwife today to let me know the results of my urine test and they show I have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I've had no symptoms but she said I need some antibiotics. Has this happened to anyone else, should I be worried?
You can get a bacterial infection from having sex with someone who has one or just from having poor hygiene in general. What type of bacterial infection do you mean?
an urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, or an infection of the skin of the perivulvar area. The infection could be bacterial, yeast, or a combination. Usually urinary tract infections are accompanied by the symptoms of increased frequency of urination, and/or drinking, dribbling, or inappropriate urination. However, occasionally the only symptom is licking the vulvar area.
Your symptoms could be due to UTI, or urinary tract infection. The infection could be at any level from bladder to ureter to kidney. It could also be due to a stone in the urinary tract. What you need is a urine culture and sensitivity test done. You can also give it for culture and sensitivity in a sterile bottle provided by the lab. This will tell you what organism is causing the infection and what antibiotic will kill it permanently.
Cranberry juice helps fight off urinary tract infections, and sometimes can get rid of one that you already have, but it's best to go to the doctor and get it treated. Then drink cranberry juice to try to prevent bacteria from forming.
Do you have an abscess in kidney detected by CT scan or ultrasound or is it that you have a urinary tract infection and want to know the treatment. Kidney stones too can cause infection of urine. Kidney abscess is a serious problem.
Any infection of the urinary system is treated with antibiotics, pain medications and fluids. However it is not something that can be treated at home. There are various tests like urine examination, ultrasound or CT scan that need to be done to diagnose.
A urinary tract infection is an infection that is anywhere along the urinary tract which starts in the kidneys and goes right the way through the ureter, bladder and urethra. The urethra is the urinary pipe that is located in the penis.
Problems in the urinary tract can be caused by infections and also kidney stones. There is no way of knowing for sure if someone has kidney stones. Only imaging (xrays or ultrasound scan) would indicate if there were any stones or not.
Microscopic hematuria can be due to urinary tract (bladder) infection, swelling in the filtering system of the kidneys ,stone in bladder or in a kidney, blood disease, like sickle cell anemia, certain medicines and tumors in the urinary tract.
I suggest you to consult a urologist for your father and get done an ultrasound abdomen to look for any kidney stone and blood tests for sickle cell anemia.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep us posted on how you are doing. Kind regards.
