Answer 1

Prevention

The following are a list of things that can be done to avoid a urinary tract infection. As many people, especially women, experience recurrent infections some commonly recommended preventative measures are:

* Having adequate fluid intake, especially water.
* Not resisting the urge to urinate.
* Taking showers, not baths, or urinating soon after taking a bath.
* Practising good hygiene, including wiping from the front to the back to avoid contamination of the urinary tract by faecal pathogens.
* Cleaning the urethral meatus (the opening of the urethra) after intercourse has been shown to be of some benefit; however, whether this is done with an antiseptic or a placebo ointment (an ointment containing no active ingredient) does not appear to matter.[1]
* Cleaning genital areas prior to and after sexual intercourse.
* For sexually active women, and to a lesser extent men, urinating within 15 minutes of sexual intercourse to allow the flow of urine to expel the bacteria before specialized extensions anchor the bacteria to the walls of the urethra.
* It has been advocated that cranberry juice can decrease the incidence of UTI. A specific type of tannin found only in cranberries and blueberries prevents the adherence of certain pathogens (eg. E. coli) to the epithelium of the urinary bladder (studies referenced in External Links section)

Treatment

Most uncomplicated UTIs can be treated with oral antibiotics such as trimethoprim, cephalosporins, Macrodantin, or a fluoroquinolone (e.g. ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin). (Whilst co-trimoxazole was previously used (and continues to be used in the U.S.), the additional benefits of the sulphonamide gave little additional benefit compared to the trimethoprim component alone, but was responsible for its both high incidence of mild allergic reactions and rare but serious complications).

If the patient has symptoms consistent with pyelonephritis, intravenous antibiotics may be indicated.

Recurrent UTIs

Patients with recurrent UTIs may need further investigation. This may include ultrasound scans of the kidneys and bladder or intravenous urography (X-rays of the urological system following intravenous injection of iodinated contrast material).

Often long courses of low dose antibiotics are taken at night to help prevent otherwise unexplained cases of recurring cystitis.

Acupuncture has been shown to be effective in both treating urinary tract infections, (sometimes along with chinese herbs with antibiotic compounds) as well as preventing new infections in chronic cases. A study published in October 2002 in the American Journal of Public Health showed that urinary tract infection occurrence was reduced by 50% for 6 months[5] . Acupuncture appears to reduce the total amount of residual urine in the bladder.

If there is no response to treatments, Interstitial cystitis may be a possibility.

I do have some alternative medication (nutritional supplement & therapies) may help to prevention and maintaining good health. I can recommend some if you need it. It's safe and natural. you can email me or meet up to know more.

Answer 2

You say that you had a UTI. Looking at the amounts of antibiotics that you took, it looks to me like they could be responsible for your yeast infection not clearing up.

The vagina usually has helpful bacteria in it that control yeast infections. That's why so many women get yeast infections when they take antibiotics--it kills both the harmful bacteria and the helpful bacteria in the vagina. The imbalance allows a yeast infection to flourish.

The other thing that strikes me is that it doesn't look, from what you have described, like you took a regular, full course of any one antibiotic. It's quite possible your UTI has not been cleared up, and that's what is causing the itch and discharge. It is sometimes hard to tell exactly where it is coming from. I know I took a 10-day course of Cipro (the last drug you mention) recently for a UTI, and I still ended up back in the doctor's office four days after the last dose because my infection was not cleared up.

I think you may need to see your doctor again. There is always the off chance it is something more serious, like a more serious type of infection, or some other disease process, but I don't think it's likely. I think it's most likely that your UTI needs to be treated first, and completely cleared up, and then your yeast infection can be treated and cleared up. Trying to treat both at the same time sometimes just does not work.

Good luck.

Answer 4

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment
