I am 5 days into treatment for a UTI with Cipro 500 mg BID.
The initial symptoms were R flank and back pain, nausea, and fatigue. No frequency, urgency, painful urination, just cloudy, urine.
Now I am starting to have the symptoms of cystitis and the urine has becom more cloudy with the presence of flaky and thready looking white matter.
I am pushing water, but am passing small amounts of urine concentrated looking. The R flank and back pain still remain.
What is this white urinary particulate? Was Cipro the drug of choice, or if the kidney,is infected and now the bladder, was a different drug called for/
Thank you

Hi, I cant comment on the anti-biotics that you have taken, but what is also helpful, is wearing cotton underwear , nothing with synthetics so you can get air around yourself. Gosh l know it is a very painful thing, also try eatting lots of Natural Yoghurt with the friendly bacterias, as anti biotics kill all bacteria, and you need the good bacterias believe it or not.
Or going to the health food store and asking for a mix of friendly bacteria
You can also drink a fizzy drink called Ural which decreases the acid making your urine more alkaline. If you cant get this, go to the store and buy some bi carbonate of soda and mix in a glass of water, this also helps, it is natural and cant hurt you in any way.
Also after sex, have a shower. All of the above will help you

Hi my name is Lisai'm 18 and sexually active I have been having the Urinary Track Infection for seven months each month. I have been prescripted different kinds of medication and it doesn't work. My doctor now is sending me to a specialist. Trully i don't know what is causing this and i would like to find out.
Thank
Thank
When I first became sexually active, I suffered from monthly UTIs as well. After 2 years, my gyn prespribed macrobid in which I would take one pill after intercourse to prevent UTIs. That was the magic trip. Equally important, you need to take acidophillus and eat lots of yogurt to promote good bateria as the antibiotic will kill both good and bad bacteri and you could end up with yeast infections. Also, avoid drinking carbonated beverges.
go to the doctor that have a specialist to see what causes your UTI . and drink a lot of water 2.5 - 3 liters a day.
I had these dreaded infections a hundred times in my early twenties when I was sexually active. I tried every drug, cranberry juice, etc. No luck.
Went to specialist for xrays, tests, blah blah. Nothing was found to be wrong.
He told me to WASH WITH SOAP AND HOT WATER thoroughly before every single sex act. With a partner, intercourse, oral, alone, with a vibrator, a hand, a parakeet, no matter...Every single time! Even if I had just taken a shower an hour prior --- He said bacteria can build up again in even 60 minutes time due to natural moisture and body heat. . Since the source of the infection is e-coli bacteria transferred into urinary tract via sex activites, you must wash "flora" off before messing around.
I did this, and never suffered another infection again.
If somebody had told me soap and water would work, it would have save me years of suffering.
I hope somebody reads this and it helps somebody.
