Kidney /bladder pain: Pain with urination? Fever? You may have a bladder infection and need antibiotics or it may have advanced to the kidneys. Would follow up today with a doctor as you may need antibiotics.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Urine culture: You need to suggest to your MD that you provide a urine sample to be cultured in the laboratory for bacteria and a sensitivity to determine first if the infection is cleared and if not, what antibiotic will work best against the residual infection to eliminate the "guesswork" and your "suffering".

Question 5

bladder infection... it hurts when i pee and i go pee more frequently than usual and when i do there is not much pee that comes out. i am drinking citrus soda and water .is there anything else i should do/drink?

Accepted Answer

UTI ?: Pain and frequent urination are symptoms of a urinary tract infection.  If you have not gotten treatment b/c of a urine culture and analysis, see your healthcare provider for treatment.  This may require antibiotics.

Question 6

my girlfriend and i both have been diagnosed with bladder infection . the diagnosis was done by a gynaecologist and they also discovered that she is pregnant. the doc said we should take citro soda and i want to ask if its save to have sex or not?

Accepted Answer

Need UTI antibiotic: Citro soda may well aleviate symptoms of burning on urination, but will not take care of your infections. You both need an appropriate urinary antibiotic such as Bactrim or Macrodantin. Optimal management is have urinalysis then treat with antibiotic, at asame time urine is cultured to indetify causative germ &amp; best antibiotic to use. Sex is safe once UTI treated &amp; you are symptom free.

Increase fluids: Water, mainly, also consider cranberry juice/tablets.
 Antibiotics would likely be best treatment,  and check of urine for bacteria.  See your doctor or urgent care if gets worse.

Question 8

home remedies that work for bladder infections?

Accepted Answer

Cranberry juice/tabs: Spontaneous resolution of a bladder infection can occur. You should drink lots of fluids to flush your urologic system, drink carnberry juice or take cranberry tablets. You may take over the counter bladder analgesics such as azo. However if your symptoms persisted or got worse see your medical provider immediately.

Question 9

what medications can i take for recurrent bladder infections?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Knowing which bacteria caused your bladder infection usually dictates the antibiotic to be used after susceptibility tests are done. If you do not feel better within 48 to 72 hours, either ask your doctor for the next best antibiotic or have a repeat urine culture done. Studies have shown that drinking cranberry juice can help treat a urine infection.

Question 10

can you tell me reasons why i get bladder infections so easily?

Accepted Answer

UTI's nth time...: Frequent Intercourse in the past month is the most common risk factor. Factors affecting bladder emptying like increase in residual urine in bladder after emptying (post void residual), incontinence, and cystocele, are strongly associated with recurrent UTIs. Make sure the antibiotic is right for the bug. Better yet see your urologist or urogynecologist.
