Alternatively, you can take clindamycin for the bv and drink a boat load of cranberry juice for the UTI and water of course. It will take longer to clear up the UTI but it should work. It did for me in a pinch. It just took a couple of extra days. Of course if you are diabetic you can't.
It started about a week ago and is steadily getting stronger. It is a sweet, salty, greasy, and fermented smell. Like a mixture of bacon and soy sauce(This has nothing to do with the urban terms "bacon vagina" and "Chinese lunchbox" -- this is for real). The smell is odd but not unpleasant. I've had lots of yeast infections, this does not smell like that. I've also had lots of UTI's and it doesn't smell like that either.
I have been with my fiance for 3years and ive always had UTI's before i got with him but its been more frequent since last year2010. Not only that I went to the hospital because of vaginal pain,itching, and oder. I dont have vaginal discharge tho.....They always say I have a bad urinary tract infection but now they are saying its a vaginal infection. I dont understand how i am getting UTI's so much and the vaginal infection is new.
Chlamydia has never shown resistence to the macrolide antibiotics such as azithromycin nor the tetracylines such as doxycycline. Clindamycin has no effectiveness for treating Chlamydia. Cipro is iffy for both Chlamydia and Enterococcus infections. Ask your Doctor to be sure that the Enterococcus is not a resistent strain , as this is becoming more of a problem, especially here in the US. I hope you are well soon. Take care.
I wouldn't even treat for "possible infection" with either. I'd wait for test results to come back to see if you even have either of them.
clindamycin isn't going to help for either if you should be infected with either of them. you are wasting your time and money by taking it.
Your taking cranberry pills may not be doing much for an actual infection, though the symptoms mat resolve for a while.

I was wondering whether or not anyone has had experience with an recurring UTI's? I have been having this problem lately, and am looking for a connection. I have been dx'd for 16 years, and I think until recently have only experienced one.
Has anyone had UTI'S all throughout pregancy? Just finished antibiotics and found our that I still have one when I went to the ER last night! Hope the medicine they give me finally makes it go away.
Hi there. Well, no. That shouldn't be related. UTI's are caused by bacteria entering the bladder. Meth is wicked stuff but it is not the cause of UTI's. I would consider, though, that he is unsafe to live with. If he is smoking it or worse, making it where you live, that is toxic. They condemn properties that have been poisoned by meth in my area. I am thinking that meth use would be a deal breaker for me and I'd be out of there. good luck and sorry this is the case.
But when I went to the doctors they told me I had gonorrhea and a UTI!!! So I was treated for both and felt okay but I still felt off. So about two weeks later it started to hurt when I would use the restroom and so I went back to the doctors and they said it was just a UTI and I'm about half way done with my antibiotics and I still feel weird! Is it possible that I still have gonorrhea? Or could it be something else? And why is it still hurting when I pee?
I'm allergic to penicillin and sulfa. Dentist prescribed Clindamycin 150 mg for 10 days for infection in my tooth. Got hives, rash, swollen lips and extreme itching and blotches from head to toe. Was on vacation so stopped medication after 3 days of taking it. It is now 5 days taking benadryl and the hives and itching have not stopped. What is in the clindamycin that I may be allergic to?
Hi, thanks for your reply. I was interested in knowing why Clindamycin can't be taken with milk based products.
m not sure if the spots on the back of my throat are attributed to mild acid reflux, stress, antibiotics (I was taking Clindamycin vaginally for BV during the week i slept with the guy), or oral gonorrhea, or ARS.
Thank you so much for your response. May I also ask what length of time would I take the Biaxin? And is there any home treatment, Like garlic pills etc. that would help augment healing? ( since Biaxin is not considered the best treatment.) Although I'm stuck with that. And frankly, I was on the Clindamycin for weeks and that didn't get rid of the infection, so maybe a broad spectrum antibiotic will work for me. I sure hope so. thank you again for your advice.
My doc prescribed it after doing a urine test said there was lukretcokes? In my urine and sent it for culture. She said it wasn't definitely a uti but wanted to treat if it was. I've had a backache the last few days and have had cloudy urine.
Hoping that Clindamycin will work...If the Clindamycin does not work...is there another medicine that could do the trick?
Also, the infection has been treated with numerous antibiotics (amoxicillin, flagyl, omnicef, augmentin, clindamycin), and all seem to help at first, but only clindamycin has lasting effects. Not even augmentin worked. Any idea on what kind of bacteria would respond to clindamycin but not augmentin?
I am curious about the answer you will receive from the doctor on this forum regarding your question concerning Clindamycin; because, I had been prescribed two rounds of it for a tooth abcess. They were approx. 3 weeks apart. The tooth had since been pulled out a long time ago; but, I developed a sudden increase in PVC's 24/7 during the treatment time with this anitbiotic and have had PVC's since.
I am currently on Clindamycin and my heart has been racing! I'm about ready to go to the ER.
