Common Questions and Answers about Antibiotics used in surgery
antibiotics
I have a nurse come by daily to clean and repack the wound in my foot and administer antibiotics. I developed Toxic Shock after foot surgery and hardware placement. I had Osteomyelitis which resulted in the removal of significant bone in my foot during an emergency surgery. I'm still nerves about the Osteomyelitis spreading or coming back, yet my Doc tells me not to worry. Hey, it's not his foot!
As for the Nurse visits; WATCH everything they do. Wash hands when they come in.
I had this happen big-time with my thyroid surgery and ended up on antibiotics and took double the time to heal ..... no real answer/reason why except sometimes body resists the stitches and/or type of sutures used.
Yours may be totally different reason ... do let us know.
in the sense that areas that involve passage of feces (Like colon/intestinal surgery) would require antibiotics. Some doctors give some antibiotics as prophylaxis when there are heart valve issues - but as I said, prostate surgery shouldn't be too risky where this heart valve infection is concerned.

Dr HHH or any other helper,
I'll try and make this short and to the point. Online I've read some conflicting information regarding fingering. I'd like to ask myself. 3 nights ago in Brazil I engaged in heterosexual sex with 2 female sex workers. I'm a male. Condoms were used at all time for each act of penile-vaginal penetration.
As case in point, use of expired antibiotics may result in you developing an anti-biotic resistant infection due to the degradation of effectiveness.
I have also had 2 stage urethroplasty couple years ago and it was after 2nd stage and with a urethra catheter that was left in so graft and surgery could heal(26 days in).

Hi I looked this up, it used to be called Macrobid. It is just for bladder infections so that is good.
If your doctor knows about your liver, I think this would be safe. I am not a doctor but I also have compensated cirrhosis and always worry about antibiotics.
I learned that penicillin or penicillin family is the safest.
In your case, it sounds like it is worth it to use it.
Good luck!
t it more risky to try to put the dog through surgery than treat her with antibiotics? Does anyone have any idea how long she could live with anitbiotics and would she be suffering during this time? Should I be coming to the realization that it is time to put her down?
Unusually infecion might not be the cause like in the conditions such as Reflux of sterile urine (urine without bacteria) through the ejaculatory ducts may cause inflammation with obstruction. Did you have any surgery in the genito urinary tract in the past, which might predispose to such an infection? I suggest that you strict to the new generation of antibiotics like ceftriaxone and then further evalute through the urologist.
I'm on Norpace XR (anti-arrythmic) for Afib and I'm not supposed to take any of the antibiotics ending in "mycin" or Biaxin. Another post on this board said they landed in ICU after doing just that. It can cause a fatal heart rhythm.
Another recent post suggested that one should double check with the doctor and/or pharmacist because there is some data that says some antibiotics are more likely to cause trouble than others.
Heavy Antibiotics is generally the 1st course of action. I'll give you a link to a site that can answer questions much better than I can.

I haven't used coconut oil for a uti but its great for its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal properties. Same with olive leaf extract.
Immediately after the surgery, he started experiencing pain in the groin area, specifically in the inguinal area or pubic bone. This pain has persisted and he is able to relax only through painkillers. In addition, there was a slight swelling of the inner thigh and ultrasound revealed infection in 3-4 lymph nodes. This swollen thigh is not painful, however.
The doctors have said that the pain has to do with surgery trauma and have prescribed him antibiotics.
If one was infected with syphilis and had an orthepedic surgery two months later, would the antibiotics given through iv before surgery and the antibiotics taken after surgery in pill form kill the bacteria? Or would it not cure the bacteria and end up concealing the secondary rash?
I decided to go through with the surgery because all my life I avoided eye contact with people because the freckle was so ugly. The redness in my eye following surgery is calming down bit by bit, but what im wondering about is the blood vessels. Where she made the excision, there is a small thin line that's fading more and more every month. However what i'm wondering about is the blood vessels that appear to be feeling the thin line.
