Common Questions and Answers about Does antibiotics cause uti
antibiotics
Definitely take the antibiotics. Uti is something that needs antibiotics to cure and if it goes untreated then can develop into a kidney problem which in some cases can cause early labour. Much safer to take the meds. I've been on the same antibiotics twice during this pregnancy and am now 36+ weeks and baby is perfectly healthy.
No, those aren't symptoms of a UTI. UTI's involve urine. :>) However, antibiotics can cause an issue of yeast and yeast can make things very uncomfortable in those areas. Do you have any chunky discharge?
Hi,
How are you? Indeed, some antibiotics including sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim and levofloxacin may cause headache as one of the side effects. This usually goes away after the course of the treatment. If it persists, inform your doctor about this for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
I haven't used coconut oil for a uti but its great for its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal properties. Same with olive leaf extract.
I would imagine that the yeasty discharge could result in some improper wiping which could lead to a UTI but otherwise, no. They are different. And medication (antibiotics) used for an UTI can result in a yeast infection.
does that answer your question?
If you have a UTI, that is a bacterial overgrowth in your urethra/bladder. Sometimes after treating a UTI with antibiotics, it can sometimes overkill the good bacteria and then cause a Yeast infection, and thus later warrant a need for Monistat. But you said you are not yet on antibiotics at all (not sold over the counter in the USA). The Monistat won't help cure a UTI, at all, if that was your intention of using it until you can see a doc about your UTI.
they can. also low estrogen can cause urethral spasms too. continue to follow up on your symptoms with your provider to try to get to the bottom of them. if you can find an urogynecologist near you, they are terrific for follow up on these sorts of issues too.
Antibiotics sometimes can cause yeast infections which could cause you to itch and you could eat yogurt while taking antibiotics to prevent a yeast infection.
A UTI needs to be treated by antibiotics prescribed by your doctor. You need to get it treated promptly because it can cause complications that arent good for you or baby. Besides that, while you take the meds you should only be drinking water and no drinks with sugar. Natural cranberry juice is good.
I have a uti and i am more than positive that i have one and it isnt my first time. My medicare does not kick in for another two weeks and i researched that a uti can spread to your kidneys and become life threatening.. does anybody know if free clinics will treat me and give me free antibiotics? I seriously dont want to wait another two weeks seeing as i have had this problem for more than 2-3 weeks as it is now.
Antibiotics can cause diarrhea in and of themselves as a side effect. Antibiotics can also disrupt the normal intestinal flora and cause you to allow a bacteria called Clostridium difficile to take over. You need to get cultured for this. It s a stool (fecal) culture. See your doctor (not the nurse) and ask to have this done. If it is positive they will actually have to treat you with another bacteria to get rid of it plus you will need to take probiotics.
How do you usually get a uti and how long does it last????
You need to be evaluated for the cause of the chronic UTI. The choice of the antibiotics must be also not correct. Get a cystoscopic examination for further understanding.
I have slow processing kidneys and i can tell you first hand nothing is worse than suffering a uti while pregnant.. Cranberry juice does helo but becareful not to overdue it because too much can cause stomach issues and diahrea.. Ask your ob if you can take azo pills.. They are sold over the counter to ease the bladder contractions and they are miracle pills. They will turn your pee bright orange however but they are amazing!
You need the antibiotics if you have a UTI. It's a bacterial infection and won't go away without it. Macrobid is safe during pregnancy. Having an untreated infection to on is dangerous for you and your baby. It can cause you to have a kidney infection and go septic (which is when the infection gets so bad it goes into your blood stream). Take the meds and you'll be fine!
On Friday I was having sharp intermittent aching pain in my right back where my kidney was located. My back in that area was tender to the touch. That evening I went to an urgent care facility and gave a urine sample. The doctor said the sample was too diluted and asked me to bring another sample in the next morning. Saturday morning (at home) I urinated into a cup that was given to me and then three hours later took the sample to the facility.
Holding it in is one cause of the infection.. As far as the antibiotics go, No your baby will be fine so no worries...
I'm 10 weeks and I have a UTI. ER doctor prescribed me Macrobid 100mg BID for ten days. Have any one taken this while pregnant? I googled it, and there were a lot of horror stories......just curious to see if others have taken, and there pregnancy remained normal...
