Question 1

Is it possible for you to wear tampons if you have a uti?

Accepted Answer

There are no interactions between the UTI and tampons.

Question 2

Is it bad to wear a tampon if u have a uti?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely that a tampon will have a negative effect on uti.

Question 3

It hurts to put in a tampon while i have a uti. do you have any tips?

Accepted Answer

Better to use pads this cycle and resume tampons once the UTI is gone.

Question 4

Hello. i just got my period and when i pee i feel a sharp pain for a few seconds. is there any chance i may have a uti? is it ok to still wear tampons

Accepted Answer

It is possible for an early urinary tract infection to cause discomfort with initiation of the urine stream. A simple urine test performed by your doctor can help you sort this out.

Question 5

What should i expect at my first ob/gyn visit? i am a virgin but have had a few utis in the past, use tampons and am not on birth control.

Accepted Answer

History taking, physical exam. I would think that pelvic exam would be redundant given you're not sexually active and 20 years old. If UTI is a concern, i suggest to get rid of the practice of using tampons.

Question 6

I think i have a uti can i use clindamycin?

Accepted Answer

Clindamycin is chiefly used for respiratory infection, skin and soft tissue infection and not a good choice for bacterial UTI. Besides, consider its use as secondary due to its possible risk to develop clostridium difficile associated colitis, which could be severe and even fatal. So, don't use it lightly.

Question 7

There is blood in my urine when i use the restroom, i think i might have a uti but could it be caused by something else? if so what should i do next?

Accepted Answer

Your doctor will likely order a urinalysis followed by a urine culture and sensitivity if necessary. If there is no infection then you will likely be referred to a urologist for further workup regarding other possible origins of bleeding.

Question 8

I do not have a uti however after i pee im in pain for hours and sometimes days . i use compress of cold and hot for pain but i need to know the underlying issue because its a constant thing ?

Accepted Answer

Please book an appointment with your primary care doctor for a focused history & physical. Subspecialty referral to a Urologist may be needed.

Question 9

Can i use a hot tub when i have a uti/ bladder infection?

Accepted Answer

I would not. Thebes of a hot tub is a risk factor for uti.

Question 10

I have a uti and was told to use vagisil or cortisone 10 to help with the itching. both burn really bad when i tried them. why is that? other options?

Accepted Answer

A uti requires antibacterial medications to clear it and vagisil or cortisone cream will not affect it. They are used to treat vaginal inflammation or infection.
