Answer 1

Unknown STD?'s : Treatment of urethritis with random antibiotics is only effective if a specific bacterial agent is responsible. There are viral causes for urethritis as well as bacterial, so ask for a referral to an infectious disease specialist for appropriate treatment.

Answer 2

Yes: The presence of blood in the urine, stools, painful urination or painful bowel movements could be due to involvement of these organs with endometriosis but other conditions such ass ic, other tumors of the bladder or bowel need to be excluded. Inflammatory bowel diseases like crohn's/colitis needs to be excluded.

Answer 3

Yes: It can happen but also part of the differential are processes known as interstitial cystitis and irritable bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease. Usually a gynecologist working in concert with a urologist and/or GI specialist can help pin down the diagnosis as each is treated relatively differently...Endometriosis can invade the rectum, (or bladder) and cause bloody, painful stools.

Answer 4

Smelly urine: It could be bacterial vaginosis (bv). Go see your doctor.

Answer 5

Bacterial vaginosis?: The main cause of strong vaginal odor, sometimes with discharge, is bacterial vaginosis, an overgrowth of bacteria. The STD trichomonas causes the same odor, and other STDs (gonorrhea, chlamydia) are more common in women with BV and could cause burning. (Usually no burning with BV itself.) See a doctor soon for diagnosis, treatment, and STD testing. Good luck!

Answer 6

YES , UTi: Pain with urination, blood in urine and a fever are signs of urine infection and with history of kidney transplant needs attention right away! another worry is kidney rejection with decreased urine output. Hope he is better soon!

Answer 7

See Dr. immediately: May well have a uti. Need to rule out kidney involvement &/or immunologis tissue rejection. Low urine production is of concer. Please have him contact and see his transplant surgeon &/or nephrologist. Best advise is not to delay.

Answer 8

Sounds like allergy: It sounds like your son may have developed an allergy to the antibiotic. You should go back to the doctor to confirm this. Although antihistamines like Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or zyrtec will help with itching, symptoms like wheezing, difficulty breathing, swallowing trouble or swelling in the face or mouth are very concerning and should be addressed by a doctor right away.

Answer 9

Allergic Rash: I think your on is probabely has allergic rash due to antibiotcs.You should check with your pediatrician asap, so that it can be confirmed and it goes in his record that he is allergic to the antibiotic he was prescribed, so that he is not prescribed the same again.

Answer 10

Possible mononucleos: It could be that he has developed and allergy to the antibiotic he was treated with. If he was on penicillin or Amoxicillin you can get a significant rash if you have mononucleosis when treated. That does occasionally happen. Check with your dr.

Answer 11

Rash: I agree allergy is on the list of issues. However if he got Amoxicillin and had a viral illness rather than a bacterial one, the rash is not allergic. Further the rash might be related to the strep throat, in the form of a sandpaper texture suggesting scarletina.

Answer 12

May or may not: Gross blood in the urine with flank pain until proven otherwise can be a sign of kidney stones. Uti typically starts from the bladder and if left untreated can potentially travel to to the kidneys with serious consequences. Follow where the pain the starts. Stone starts from the back vs UTI from the bladder.

Answer 13

UTI blood in urine: Uti can cause visible blood in the urine. If no x-ray were performed such as ct or ultrasound then you should have one soon. I recommend a followup w a urologist as soon as possible. A subsequent urinalysis is critical should no work up is recommended on your initial visit. If your pain worsens or you develop fevers, go to your nearest er if your primary care doctor can't see you right away.
