Accepted Answer

UTI: A young woman with a uti generally can tell whether her infection has resolved. However to be sure a clean catch urine culture and colony count would have to done. If you feel perfectly normal when you urinate, I wouldn't bother taking the rest of the amoxicillin since you skipped a couple of days.

Accepted Answer

Caution: While the question is not clear, would advise caution in the use of antibiotics as resistance is becoming an issue. Best would be to have only 1 physician, either your PCP, urologist or Obs-Gyn physician address your recurrent symptoms.

Question 5

can a uti make your period last longer or make it come sooner?

Accepted Answer

No: But the common cause of UTI is sex. Sex can do those things .....

Question 6

how long dose a uti last how long can you take antibiotics for?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: UTI-related voiding Sx such as burning and frequency will be quickly improved within 1-3 days and, most of cases, faded away completely in 5-7 days after taking effective antibiotics. But, occasionally, irritating voiding Sx may linger. If so, be reassessed so to define what may be the underlying cause. So, work with Doc and be checked out timely.

Question 7

was diagnosed with a uti during last visit to er, had no prior symptoms of a uti but did have bloody discharge. should i take the prescribed medicine?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ther must have been bacteria or infection cells in your urine to arrive at that diagnosis.  Taking the antibiotic is the best way to ensure it is taken care of and doesn't develop into a complication.

Question 8

Probably cured: If you had typical symptoms (usually painful and urgent urination, frequent urination, etc) and they have cleared up entirely, you can safely assume the threatment worked and your are cured. If in doubt, check with the doctor treating you.

Question 9

my doc prescribed me monuril for uncomplicated uti, took last night but still feel disconfort one day later. should i wait a little more or should i contact her and tell her that? how many days would it take to feel ok if the monuril worked?

Accepted Answer

Give it time: Wait a few more days. It usually takes 2-3 days for UTI symptoms to start to improve, and up to a week for them to clear up entirely.
