Accepted Answer

Other condition: There are other conditions which can cause increased frequency of urination.  See a general medicine doctor or a urologist for a thorough exam and history.  It may be a simple answer... But you wouldn't want to miss anything.

Question 3

i just finished a 7-day course last thursday of 1000mg of cipro for uti infection. i noticed a little burning this am and took avo test. slightly positive for leucocytes and negative for nitrites. can i clear this on my own? hate cipro!

YOU MIGHT HAVE NOT: Seen the full effects yet. It is not unusual to still see leuks in the urine soon after a complete course of antibiotics.
Just push water intake, stay on avo and monitor symptoms closely.

Question 5

when should ur tablets start to work for a uti infection.. been on mine 4 days now 3 times a day and no improvement at all what do i do now?

Accepted Answer

Get eval: By day 4 you should note an improvement, so you need to follow-up for a possible "uti recalcitrant to current treatment."  you may need a ua with a reflex to c;s to determine what infection you have and what antibiotics are sensitive to it.  Best wishes.

Question 6

what to do if i have a really bad uti infection, when will the meds start to work?

Accepted Answer

24-48 hrs: If you are not feeling any better by 3 days, return to your doctor.

Question 7

i got an injection and medication for uti infection but now the outside of my vagina is itchy and irritating what could this be? im still on meds

Accepted Answer

Altered flora: Antibiotics often alter the normal bacterial flora in the vagina and predispose to yeast infection that may be causing the itching. It would be prudent to consult your doctor as s/he has more information about your health.

Question 8

i have had kidney infection 3 times and uti infection probably 6 times over a 5 year period what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

Need Urologist Help!: To have so many severe kidney infections suggests you need the help of a specialist in kidney disorders -- a urologist.  Please make an appointment so that you can have a thorough history and physical exam taken, as well as diagnostic tests that might help find out why this is happening.  Occasionally, what is found might require antibiotics for life!  Please get checked!  Good luck!

Question 9

for what length of time can you go with an untreated uti infection before it gets serious?
