Question 1

what can i do for a uti lasting for 2 months? treatment isn't working.

Accepted Answer

Need evaluation: Do you have culture proven UTI or just symptoms similar to UTl? Either way you need to have upper tract evaluation with CT and cystoscopy. Need to see a urologist for evaluation because tumors, stones, fistulas can be cause of symptoms similar to UTI or cause UTI that doesn't respond to therapy.

Question 2

is it bad if i have intercourse when having a uti?

Accepted Answer

Intercourse when ill: This is a very good question. The medical answer may very well be no.  But, if the UTI is causing fever and pain....Then vaginal sex and even oral sex may increase the pain.

I would hope that your partner is patient and open to good communication so that if it hurts the activity causing pain can be stopped.

Question 3

can you have intercourse if you are taking amoxcillion for a uti? i am a female

Accepted Answer

Yes: You may not want to if you have a uti, but the only thing you need to know is that if on birth control, antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of the birth control, so you should use condoms wile on birth control (and remember also, condoms prevent sti's as well). Good luck.

Question 4

how do i get treatment for a uti?

Accepted Answer

Urgent care/doc: This is a public information site where volunteer docs answer health questions based on information in a post. It does not offer notes/scripts/view pictures or do other direct care. Proper treatment of a UTI would require testing to verify it &amp; exclude such things as a STD. You can arrange that through urgent care or your docs office.

Question 9

diagnosed by uti and pneumonia. what is the best treatment for both?

Accepted Answer

Antibiotics: Uti is a urinary infection.  Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs.  These are typically treated with an antibiotic.  Some antibiotics or a combination will treat both common lung and urinary infections.  But, as it would require a physician or health provider to prescribe an antibiotic it would be best to see one to select the best choice for you if they feel indicated for your symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Depends: The use of IV antibiotics for UTI implies a serious, hard to treat infection. Most UTI's can be treated by oral antibiotics.
