Specializes in General Practice

UTI: Urinary tract infections are diagnosed with the urine. Urine comes from the bladder, not from the cervix or uterus. So, yes, of course you can get tested for a UTI is you are on your period.

After meeting with the Doc on this application. Can I get prescribed an antibiotic for my UTI, and possible kidney infection, for 2 months or longer? I know I need a longer term antibiotic because it comes right back once I complete my 3day- 2wks?
