Answer 1

Ok..
one thing at at time. UTIs are Urinary Tract Infections. The Cipro is a strong antibiotic. That will kill the bacteria. If untreated, a bad UTI can travel up to your kidneys, and damage them. Depending on how bad the infection is..it can infect your blood and cause your vital organs to shut down. This is serious business here.
Recommendation: Take the Cipro exactly how it was prescribed and for the exact length of time the Doctor said. This way you can get rid of it entirely.

Regarding the sores...Well hard to say without actually looking at it. Sores that appear to have a liquid in them and in clusters can be Genital Herpes. They are flat, vesicles and irritated. The sores open up and eventually dry.

HPV causes Genital Warts. Those appear sometimes flat, in a cauliflower pattern. The are round and do not have liquid inside.

Recommendation: Go to Planned Parenthood or to your GYN. Its important that you get a thorough checkup. Untreated STDs can cause serious damage, including permanent fertility issues, long term disease and even death. Get tested and more importantly get educated!

Best of luck! :)
Hope this helped!

Answer 3

a UTI is a bladder infection, probably gotten if you wipe from back to front instead of front to back and don't drink enough water each day. As for the sores, if you are sexually active, they sound to me like either genital herpes or genital warts, neither of which can be cured, but there are medications that can help you feel better, your doctor would need to do an exam and take a culture to know what those sores are.
Cipro (short for ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic, and a strong one too. It will kill the germs that are causing your bladder infection, but will not do anything about those sores. I urge you to drink at least two liters of water or tea everyday, especially while taking this medication because it is so strong. Your kidneys will need the extra fluid to metabolize the medication effectively. And do not stop taking the medication because you feel better, you need to take the full course until all the pills are gone, or the infection can come back and then be resistant to even that strong a medication, then what will you do to get rid of the infection? So take all of them as ordered even if you are feeling better before they are all gone.

Answer 4

The sores could be an STD because I get UTI's once a month or more... go to the GYN and have that checked out

Cipro is for every infection known to man. It just kills all bacteria.

I am not sure if it is for external issues like sores though.

Seriously go to the GYN!!!!

Answer 5

Cipro is na antibiotic ....I would STRONGLY advise you to take this particular one with food as it can upset your tummy, Drink LOTS of water to help flush your bladder clean, also cranberry Juice is excellent for uit's !!! try and make it part of your daily fluid intake it's sooo good fopr you. I think you'll find they won 't heal your "sores" as I just get the feeling the two aren't connected. The sores just "may" be connected but I just don't feel that they are as I haven't herard of anyone getting sores with a uti. The burinig when you pee will soon start to ease as the antibiotics kick-in but drinking the above will certainly hasten this ! as it dilutes the urine hence it's not as concentrated and therefore not sting as much. Wait till you get your test results re the sores ( good luck on that one) but remember even if you test positive for herpese it's NOT the end of the world. these days it can be controlled by just taking a daily medication. But I would be really suprised if it was herpes judging by your description, it really does sound like genital warts which will go in their own time or you may have to have them removed. Either way I feel I would be remiss in my advise if I don't advise/plead with you to from now on ALWAYS use a condom !!!!

Answer 6

Hi there,

If you are sexually active...which it sounds like you are (seing that you have a U.T.I...typically caused by oral sex or sexual intercourse...means you are also exposed to STD's (sexual transmitted diseases. Number 1: after any sexual contact..oral and intercourse. Go and pee...this cleans out your urethra...so that bacteria can't creep up!! That will help avoid UTI's.
Secondly, those cauflower sores aren't caused by UTI's. It sounds like you have a STD. Go to your doctor.
It could be a. genital warts or b. genital herpes

If you have been having unprotected sex..you are at risk of anything. Don't panic. Just make an appointment for a pap smear. Good luck. And oh...drink lots of water and cranberry juice you your UTI. Oh and Cipro is just an antibiotic. It wont hurt you. Just drink lots of water/cranberry juice and take the medication as prescribed. Good luck!

Answer 7

UTI or a urinary tract infection is a bacterial infection that has an effect on any part of the urinary tract. UTI are a critical health problem distressing millions of individuals every year.
Infections of the urinary tract are the second most usual sort of infection in the body. They involve roughly 8.3 million doctor visits every year. Women are in particular apt to UTIs for causes that are not yet well known. In her lifetime, one woman in five grows a UTI. UTIs in men can be so critical when they do take place although not as usual as in women.
Urine typically does not have bacteria in it, though it includes various fluids, salts, and waste products. They will lead to a UTI when bacteria get into the bladder or kidney and multiply in the urine.

There are three major types of UTI. Bacteria that infect simply the urethra bring about urethritis. Bacteria can bring about a bladder infection as well, which is named cystitis. Another sort of UTI is infection of the kidney itself, more critical, recognized as pyelonephritis. An individual frequently suffers back pain, high fever, and vomiting with this type of UTI.
Due to changes in the immune system, individuals with diabetes possess a higher risk of a UTI. Any other confusion that represses the immune system increases the risk of a urinary infection.

In simple UTI, the urinary tract has no structural abnormality, the renal function is normal and you have no related disease which damages defence mechanisms. But in convoluted UTI, the urinary tract is abnormal because of obstacle or kidney disorders, or there is a related disease that inclines to it like diabetes mellitus.

The drugs most frequently employed to deal with routine, uncomplicated UTIs are trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra, Cotrim), amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox, Wymox). In recent years a group of drugs called quinolones contains drugs accepted for treating UTI. These drugs consist of ofloxacin (Floxin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and trovafloxin (Trovan).

Answer 8

Cipro is an antibiotic. They should take care of the UTI. As far as the sores, I can't say. Did the doctor look at them? Are you sexually active and could you have contracted a STD?

Answer 9

Urinary track infections occur along the urinary track: bladder, kidneys, and so forth all in which are inside the body not out. UTI's will not cause bumps/sores on the vaginal area.

Answer 10

i am not sure. the medicine in probably an antibiotic. just to be on the safe side i would make an appt immediately with your gynocologist. when we had to do reports in high school on STD's, cauliflour like sores were normally a sign of an outbreak of herpes or genital warts. if you are sexually active, i think you should be tested and get them biopsied immediately. the longer you wait the more damage they could do...even causing infertility. also you would wanna let know who you had sex with so they aren't infecting others as well. good luck to you and i hope it turns out to be nothing.
