Hi so I've had three utis in the past month. I finished the antibiotics for the last one on Sunday. As a result I'm feeling a little paranoid whenever something feels off down there.
I currently have burning that feels like sun burn down there at the moment but the pain isn't getting any worse end is relieved with cold water. I was wondering if it's possible to have some irritation down there with out the infection. I have no bladder pain what so ever and no frequency.
Can someone please let me know if they have had this before?
Buy yourself some test strips , you can check your own urine for infection . I got mine on Amazon , it really gives me peace of mind . Take D Mannose daily for prevention .
Hi, Danielle, are you taking a women's probiotic? Antibiotics will lessen, but not kill off, the overgrowth of bacteria that caused your infection to begin with. In addition, did your doctor do a culture of the bacteria, or just give you an antibiotic? It's important to treat a UTI with the appropriate antibiotic.
I suggest that you make sure to drink lots of water, say 8 cups a day, to flush out your urinary tract. MD's will say that any liquid is okay to use, but some can further irritate sensitive tissues. xx
I have had water infection for the last 6 weeks keep being given different antibiotics every time I stop I get it back🙈only this time it’s coming back and I am on antibiotics as I have a little blood when I pee so I am thinking it’s just keeping it at bay but not killing it
I asked my doctor to refer me to hospital which she has done but not on the 2 weeks wait
I took D mannose for a year
and my infections were nil during that time but unfortunately they have come back and with e coil bug it’s very difficult to get rid of
Really had enough now and Doctor not taking it seriously wouldn’t believe when I have
Infection that antibiotics usually calm it down within 1-2 hours said it takes 24 hours to get into system if anybody has any helpful tips I would be grateful x
Hi Lynda,
I am currently drinking 2 liters of water a day.
I haven't taken the probiotics for a few weeks now, should probably get back onto it. Thank you!
Just make sure it's a women's probiotic, with cultures for your urinary tract and reproductive system. Also, that it's coated well enough to withstand the acid in your stomach.
Hope you feel better soon! xx
