Hey guys,
I've had several UTIs in the past but none have lasted more than a few hours. Today, I woke up with the worst UTI I've ever had. My urine is completely bloody and looks like I'm having a heavy menstrual flow (but I'm not on my period). I am urinating out blood clots that hurt incredibly badly to pass. Doctor gave me bactrim to kill it off and told me to take probiotics in between my antibiotics.
How long until the pain stops and how long until I stop urinating blood?? Thank you!!
Sorry you're going through this. Usually, you should see results between 3-4 days after starting the bactrim. Drink lots of water! Your doctor could give you something for the pain. There's a prescription drug available. Best of luck! xx
I am the same way but I have e had a Uti for a year and a half and nothing is working for me
You're very lucky that your doctor told you to take probiotics - many doctors don't bother to say and many people still don't know! The bactrim should do it, but if not try to get a sample cultured as you may need a different antibiotic. Don't let them prescribe Cipro or any other fluoroquinolone though - this class of antibiotic can be very dangerous (check out the fluoroquinolone discussions on here).
Good luck and I hope it goes soon.
