UTI - Pleae help!?

Question

Ok this is the first time I am having a UTI,
I have no obvious symptoms though, But I had pain in both of my kidneys.. My doc asked to get a urine culture done and found out the bacteria causing it is "Klebsiella Pneumoniae". Anyone heard of it or got it before?
The bacteria is resistant to many antibiotics and I am searching n searching on net but not getting anything useful treatment-wise.

My doc has planned to keep me on antibiotic Ciprafloxacin(Cipran) for 7 days n if things don't improve he's gonna give me around 7-10 injections each day? Are you ladies familier with this plan of treatment?

Any help would be so much appreciated. When my doc saw the name of the bacteria he was like "Oh No!" Is it difficult to treat or what?

Thanks in advance.

That's what I am thinking, I am so clean and hygeinic that my family jokes that i have obsessive compulsive disorder lol.. And I always wipe from front to back.. And I am not sexually active?

My complete abdomen ultrasound was normal and stool test was also normal.

Answer 1

klebsiella pnuemoniae!! how on earth did a respiratory bug get in your urine, is probably what the doctor was thinking, and how did it get to your kidneys without making you a whole lot sicker than it has!!
it is important to kill off this bacteria quickly and completely, do whatever he tells you to do, or I personally, would see a urologist to find out why such an unusual organism got into your urinary tract.

Answer 2

ok, first of all, cases of UTI are common to females, since bacteria breeds in moist places... i dont think I need to elaborate on that...

anyway, the best way to treat it is by taking antibiotics, please do take it as it is prescribed. if it is 7 days then do it. some people miss a day or two and doing it doesnt help... it only makes the bacteria in your body develop an immune system for such antibiotic. that is the reason why if your condition doesn't improve after 7 days, you are going to have the higher type of antibiotics which is the injectibles.. they are stonger.

Go to one other healthcare professional and get a moment opinion. In normal, there are a couple of well approaches to cut back the threat of UTIs. After you might have intercourse, move to the toilet and pee. Try to try this instantly after intercourse, however wait not than quarter-hour once you conclude. Cut again on acidic meals like orange juice, lemons, and limes. Drink much less caffeine and extra water. Drink cranberry juice. Don't take baths. Baths develop the probabilities that you'll be able to get a UTI and/or a yeast illness. If you must take a tub, do not use bubbles or tub oils within the water. Wipe your self from entrance to again, in no way again to entrance. If you might have anal intercourse, ensure your companion places on a brand new condom earlier than switching on your vagina. Also ensure that you're safely all set for sex earlier than he penetrates you. Use tons of water-founded lube to preclude any tearing.

I started coming down with symptoms of a UTI earlier this year and I really didn't want to go to a doctor. The expense and the inconvenience totally turned me off. I called a local health food store and I asked the manager what I could do. I expected him to recommend herbal tea or something to boost my immunity. He said to get more fiber in my diet. I had one serving of bran cereal left, and I ate it. My constant peeing was gone. The acute urge to pee was gone and I started retaining my water. I never saw a doctor.
I've started to come down with it again since that time, and I get a nice green salad instead. It works just great. I love making Chinese food, but it's so light, I'll get a UTI if I don't get enough fiber. I was pushing so hard to pee I was pushing blood, and I am fine now. I have not had a problem since that time as long as I get a salad first.
A doctor can help you, and I don't want you to not take the meds, but the best you can do for yourself is take care of your poor health. You've got to be constipated and you must have flushed out all your B complex vitamins to the point of a severe deficiency. Your energy should be all edgy and strung out and your digestion poor. A nice green salad, or some vitamin enriched bran cereal would take care of all of that.
If two weeks from now you start to show signs of a UTI and you start peeing too much do it again. Only this time, do it first, before you go running to the doctor. And let's see if you don't stop it dead in its tracks. From my personal experience, this is all you ever needed.
I hope this helps you.

Have you spent any time in a hospital lately? This is one of those bugs that thrives in hospitals. It is often implicated in hospital-acquired UTIs and wound infections.

It looks like this bug is resistant to many antibiotics, but it's not one of those super bugs that can't be controlled. Sounds like your doc is doing the right thing.
