hello
i have been diagnosed for UTI a week ago and been taking sulfamethoxazole for my treatment. i finished it today but i dont think its gone. when i wake up in the morning i feel a little pain in my bladder still (not as strong as in the beginning but still) then i start drinking a lot of water and sort of in the afternoon it all stops and goes away and i am fine again. it has repeated for 3 last days of taking my antibiotics out of 7. should i make another appointment to the doctor?

I'm a bit of a broken record with this advice, but go buy yourself some urinalysis dip sticks and test your own urine. They are inexpensive and you can buy them off the internet. Then, if you have leukocytes or blood, you know you have an infection and then can go to the doctor.

It has taken me years to get rid of an infection that came and went for years...... Because I suspected that the problem I had was not resolved I wrote letters to all my doctors asking questions re the treatment I had.
You most certainly must consult your doctors but must never be laxy about your resolve to rectify your problems...... It seems ironic that on the whole doctors do not take a very serious view of waterworks problems and particularly for us men.
It is most frustrating that few doctors look at previous hisrtory which on the whole would be educational
in some instances........ Two occasions for me =no culture done!
A very young lady doctor gave me a three month script for Cipro which was too low to eradicate the bacteria I harbored so one of my GP's who had more experience doubled the strength but for only one week. I exteded that course to 33 days as per Mimms and I find that for over a year now all of my
symptoms are gone. Surely there is a more efficient way of dealing with a waterworks infection and especially if the patient insists that indeed they do have an infection based on the fact that they now know their bodies better than anyone else on the planet!
