Unexplained UTI's

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have recently been tested for recurring UTI. Had urine cytology, ultrasounds of kidney and bladder as well as a cystoscopy. Dr said all is fine. 6 days after the cystoscopy I am having all symptoms again. Very cloudy urine, blood in urine, burning, frequent urge to void, back pain and low grade fever.

    Maybe you need low dose antibiotics. I'm on one a day Nitrofurantoin for 3 months. It worked for me before - the uti's didn't start back again for nearly 2 years.

      Hello,

      Did you have any side effects from the nitrofurantoin?  I took this medication  for 7-10 days and got back my infection the day after finishing and it made me feel ill (nausea) first five days of therapy.

      I don't know if I'd try again,  but your success story is very impressive and I'd be thrilled to go two years!!  I will tell my doctor.  Congrats

      I'm lucky in that I never seem to suffer side effects with any medication, including Nitrofurantoin...
