How long before symptoms of urinary tract infection subside after sarting Cipro ?

It should be much superior within 24 hours, if it isn’t you need a recheck. UTI’s respond very swiftly to antibiotics.

Should I stop taking cold medication if my symptoms are urinary tract infection?

I thought I had a fever, so I took Tylenol. I didn’t get better after a day, so I started taking Vicks’ DayQuil. After I searched on the internet, my symptons appear to be uti. Can’t see my doctor until tomorrow. Should I stop taking the Vicks’ cold medicine? Thanks.

It shouldn’t matter.

What are the symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection? Is it painful and spotted blood?

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 17:57:12 +0000

I am peeing quite often, even if it is not a lot. I have the urge to go, and tiny comes out. It is painful, I’ve seen a couple of blood spots… but not too many. Any help?

Yeah, you have a urinary tract infection. It’s caused by bacteria getting into your urethra, and causing an infection. There are two ways to get rid of this- see your physician and he’ll give your antibiotics, or you can cure it at home. For at home, you’ll need to drink a ton of water, and get some d-mannose pills. YOu don’t want the , as there is a ton of sugar in it, and the pills are more concentrated and work faster. Take three pills a day for the next 3-5 days, and you should be fine. Either way, you need to get it fixed.

Do a yeast infection and a Urinary Tract Infection have the same symptoms?

admin — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 03:15:35 +0000

What are these symptoms?, and if they are not alike what are the differences?

Yeast infections can leave traces in the urine, as yeast will also populate the outside of the vagina and be flushed off by urine. The stick that shows whether or not you have a UTI measures the pH of your urine (the acidity), and as a UTI gives off an acidic reading (negative on the pH scale), yeast gives off a basic reading (positive on the pH scale), which throws it off.

Bladder infections are just that- Infections of the bladder. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are infections of the entire tract, the bladder, the urethra (the tube through which the urine flows) and sometimes the ureters (tubes connecting the kidneys to the bladder) and the kidneys as well. UTIs will cause the feeling of having to urinate frequently, as well as (sometimes) burning, stinging, or itching during urination, and a strong odor from the urine.

Urinary tract infection or something else?

admin — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 10:21:23 +0000

About a month ago, I went to the doctor with the symptoms of a urinary tract infection. He put some test strip in a urine sample, saw there was bacteria in the urine, and prescribed antibiotics for a UTI. That medication was Sulfer-based and turns out I'm allergic to it. So I went back to the docs and got a different prescription. A week later, I still didn't feel any relief, so I went back again, and was prescribed Macrobid, being told this should do the trick. I then got my period a few days later, and the UTI symptoms disappeared until yesterday, a day after my period ended. Now today and yesterday I have had the UTI symptoms again…I'm so sick of it, and am wondering why it's not going away. Could it be something else? Any idea what it may be? Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just as an added note, I have finished all medication prescribed to me (apart from the first ones that I am allergic to). But I have finished two courses of antibiotics, and have drank so much d-mannose in the past month I swear I'm turning into a d-mannose.

Go back to your doctor. Tell him what happen.
Maybe the antibiotic he prescribed are not doing any good on you. And besides UTI symptoms will not easily gone unless you finished the entire days left to take your medicine. Sometimes if your infection are high the treatment can last for 2 weeks and go to the doctor and perform again a urine test for assurance.
It's not easy to had an UTI but if you follow everything your doctor told you eventually you'll be alright.

supposively UTI ( urinary tract infection ) is gone?! i have same symptoms though"?

admin — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 15:03:30 +0000

i hear that antibiotics don't clear up the infection all the way" i have had two UTI's and each time i do a follow up the doctor says im clear of infection but my symptoms same and or worse daily i have urgency that won't go away no pain ever. Is it possible that a urine culture and or dipstick test won't show infection when there really is still infection left in the bladder or urethra i have irritation and urgency feeling all day all night and im very concerned because doctor says im clear of infection?! Would a urologist be able to help me further than a doctor, what should i do? thanks soo much, Brian Taylor. im Male 22
what im feeling can it be left over infection? a mind thing? wlovever it is i can't figure it out it's been 8 months since i took doxycyline hyclate and been 5 times back to doctor's each time says no infection?!

Hi Brian

You can ask for a referral to a urologist.
They would do a bladder scan with ultrasound and this could check that you don't have bladder stones which gives the same feeling as a urinary tract infection.
You should also have your blood sugar level checked as a constant need to urinate could be the start of diabetes.
Urgency could be linked to prostatitis, an inflammation of your prostate which usually gives flu like symptoms as well.
Finally you could have an irritable bladder which may have been left by the urinary tract infection, so this can be treated with medication. It is usually a feeling that you want to go to the toilet but then don't pass much when you go.
See what your doctor says and if are getting no where ask to see a urologist.
Let me know how you get on
Good luck, Brian.
Regards

31.4 weeks pregnant… what are signs/symptoms of a urinary tract infection? And if I have one what are the?

admin — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:08:25 +0000

risks to my unborn baby?
I should have added it does NOT burn when I pee
My urine was ORANGE today when I peed, then when I went again it was DARK yellow and then the 3rd time I went it was yellow, but cloudy….

Every time I have had a urinary infection it has been painful to urinate. Sometimes you can feel icky, like you have the flu or you may be running a tempature.

When I got near the end of my pregnancy with my daughter I could have sworn that I had a UTI, every time I urinated it hurt a lot. I got my urine tested a couple times at the doctor's and it came back negative for an infection both times. I think it was just her head was right on my bladder and when I urinated it pinched my bladder or something.

My advice would be to call and ask your doctor or midwife, they are there to answer your questions! Hope this helps.
