Common Questions and Answers about Zithromax and urinary tract infections

90 percent of UTI’s are from E. coli. D’Mannose attaches to E. coli in the urinary tract and takes it with it when you urinate. When I have a UTI I take one pill at least every 2 hours for about a week instead of having to take antibiotics nonstop. That doesn’t treat the cause, but deals with the infection part. Now, for the diagnosis. Have you looked into interstitial cystitis? It is a possibility.
The antibiotics you took are highly effective for STD and for the urinary tract bacteria which can cause urinary tract infections and complicating epididymitis.
2. The blood in your ejaculate is a process called hematospermia which is a descriptive term. When this occurs, it is often transient and when that is the case, there is usually no detectable cause. It tends to go away without complication or problem. I would not worry about it unless it recurs.
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.
I have been to the doctor several times with urinary tract infections. I was hospitalized a year ago with kidney stones, kidney infection, urinary tract infection, and an infected gallbladder that had to be extracted. I cannot seem to get rid of the urinary tract infections as I have had treatment 7 times now within one year. I drink the pure cranberry juice as I have heard it helps fight off and prevent UTI's. Nothing seems to work.
I have had dozens of urinary tract infections every year since I was seventeen (before I was ever even sexually active), and I've grown unable to really even notice them until they become quite bad. I never noticed myself feeling better when prescribed the macrobid any time during this year. I had a urine culture sent last week and I will be returning to my GP ASAP to see what the results of this were.
I just had a cystoscopy for a ureteral stent implant and a foley catheter put in on 04-Sept-2010. My Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL rock-shock) on 02-Sept-2010 didn't work on a 5x9 ureteral stone causing colic. The cysto was quite mutilating (I'm sure superficially), it left me with a very irritating blood squirting cath setup (19 French), but with the anotomical difference of the male urethra I'm sure that's very common.
It was confirmed that I had chlamydia and I had gotten treated with Zithromax that same day. Symptoms began to die down but after a week they seemed to return. I had also now been experiencing clear discharge after urinating and clear milky discharge only in the morning. I went back to the doctor and got treated again for chlamydia and took another test. The results came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea, but even a week after these results discharge from my penis still persist.
I have a question for those of you with urinary tract problems. I have had several UTIs and seem to be retaining urine. Also, my bladder and kidneys hurt. As many of you know, I do have Lupus. The question I have is should I be going to a urologist? I have talked to my GP about this and I have even mentioned being tested for Lupus Nephritis, but he just tells me that anytime he has checked my kidneys they have been fine.
Hopefully they gave her something other than amoxicillin because that anti-biotic takes a while to work and get rid of infections, but it does work. If an infection is not taken care of, with anti-biotics, it can spread, which is why I mentioned the kidneys. Though because she is being treated, it should not be anything to worry about. Make sure she takes all of the anti-biotics and she should be fine. Plus have her drink plenty of water and also cranberry juice.
As your symptoms suggest of burning sensation while passing urine, it is more commonly due to urinary tract infections and sexually transmitted diseases. Because kidney and ureter stones are accompanied by pain that goes upto the loin. There could also be changes in the stream of urine.
Is this the first time you are having this? Or previously suffered from same kind of symptoms? In any case it is advised to get a urine examination done and an ultrasound.
I talked to the original doctor and he made the comment that the Bactrim may have caused a false negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea and prescribed zithromax (1g) and a shot of rosephin as a preventative. I informed my girlfriend and her Dr. prescribed zithromax (1g) and a single dose of ciprofloxin.
Everything seemed to be ok but a few months later the prostate problems came back and I was put on a month of Levaquin.
