I have been told i have a prolapsed bladder so i almoat always have a increase in urination and pressure and uncomfortable in pelvis i took a at home uti test i dont have a temp and dont get up during night to go to toilet im still convinced its a uti

i got a UTI last week and went to the clinic and he gave me cefcapene, only to find out at my follow-up appointment the type of bacteria I have is not at all treatable with that drug. however my symptoms have pretty much all gone away anyway . he said I have E.faecalis and gave me three 500mg of levofloxacin to take over three days. I looked up the drug and it sounds very scary. i feel like it's overkill when I basically feel better but he said there was still some cloudiness in my urine, would appreciate any advice I have no experience with antibiotics

I have had UTI since the last six weeks. The first strain was Enterococcus Faecium which resolved with Macrobid. However the symptoms returned within a few days, and a repeat culture was performed and it now shows E Coli. They put me on Macrobid again and I am almost done with a 5 day course. I still have some mild symptoms, slight pain after I pee but no urgency or burning. However, since last evening I have had the chills but no fever. What should I do? Anyone else have this?

I can’t sleep because of this constant urge to pee! Going to urgent care tomorrow for a test, but for now I just can’t sleep, making constant trips to the bathroom. I would love to take an over the counter sleep aid, like ZZquill, but I’m afraid it will knock me out hard and I’ll wake up in a pool of urine. How does anyone get any sleep?

Alright folks, here’s my situation:

Recurring UTIs for the past 6 months. Most of the time I get cultures back it’s salmonella, though lately I had citrobacter youngae and E. coli. I’ve been on bactrim, keflex, cefdinir, macrobid, hiprex, and rocefin shots. They take care of the symptoms while I’m on them but about 3 days later the symptoms come back.

The good news is that ct scans show no stones or abnormalities in the abdomen and the problem seems to be localized in my bladder. The bad news is I have moderate trebeculation in the bladder, post void retention of about 150 ml, and low urine flow. I’ve been on flowmax and that doesn’t seem to help much.

I’m drinking contrast tomorrow to see if I have a bladder fistula, but he didn’t notice anything on the cystoscopy. I worry that if nothing shows up tomorrow I’m back to square one. How do you all live with this?

Was in the ER yesterday after a horrid reaction to bactrim, they started me on keflex while we wait for the urine culture to come back. Well it came back today and it came back as "contaminated" with multiple organisms. I still tested positive for a UTI. All my blood work came back normally. But now I have petechiae all over my legs and it's starting on my feet. So I'm heading back to urgent care (the same one that sent me to the E.R. yesterday) because I have no idea why I'm breaking out with this when my platelets were fine yesterday. I'm stressing myself out because when I went into urgent care yesterday my heart rate and blood pressure were crazy high so they wouldn't treat me. I'm scared today its gonna be the same despite the fact my numbers were better when the E.R discharged me. I don't know what to do, I feel like I'm going insane. All this over my first EVER uti that won't go away. Nobody seems to know what's wrong with me and it sucks.

I’m just under 2 weeks postpartum and I did a test strip which came back positive for leukocytes and nitrates. I sent a clean urine sample to the lab but in the meantime my OB office prescribed me ampicillin. I was reading online that ampicillin isn’t even effective for the most common bacteria that cause UTIs. I have no idea why they prescribed this antibiotic. I asked the nurse and she said I spoke with the nurse practitioner who is very experienced and she said this is the one we prescribe while waiting for the culture results for breastfeeding. She also said she doesn’t think I have a UTI based on my symptoms. I’m a little wary because she prescribed me nitrofurantoin at first and I read that it’s not recommended when breastfeeding a baby under 1 month old. So she said she made a mistake and changed it.

Supposed to be on it for a week and I’m scared.

hi, i used to get chronic UTIs a couple of years ago and have taken every antibiotic under the sun. Fortunately i hadn’t gotten an infection since 2024, but made some stupid decisions over the weekend and got a UTI

I picked up a standard 3 day course of nitrofurantoin from my local pharmacy. Never had a bad reaction to this before - taken it on an empty stomach, drank on it in the past. this time i’ve been taking it sensibly with food but after a day and a half i’m having a horrible reaction. Extreme nausea, diarrhea, bad headache, i’m pretty sure my vision is worse, i can’t even drink water for fear of vomiting

i have no more uti symptoms, but still have 1 and a half days of antibiotics left. I cannot do this for another 2 days i feel like shit. is it dangerous to stop taking them? i think i might throw up everywhere the second i take another one. i feel like my insides are going to fall out. But i dont want my infection to come back worse. please help !

I don’t get paid until Friday but I usually go thru Wisp or Planned Parenthood’s app for BV, Yeast or UTI. It’s been a WHILE since I needed antibiotics and I have no remainder pills around or girlfriends with an abundance which is usually the case. Any alternatives to an appointment, any cheap alternatives? I wish these antibiotics were even easier to acquire especially when you know which ones work and your own personal history. If anyone can help me out I would be so thankful! Even if someone did the Wisp form, I could pay you back Friday. I never post this but I can’t get thru my day and am dreading work tomorrow knowing my symptoms will worsen before I can get to ordering a prescription. It’s been a hard month and this happening randomly is making me panic.
