Hey,
I am oh too familiar with UTIs. I have had 3 UTIs within the past 2 months and have been put on antibiotics everytime. Only with my UTIs, I got a lot of pain, burning and urgency. Do they always check your urine to see what bacteria agent is causing these? Also, make sure youre taking enough antibiotics and strong enough. Not all antibiotics work so well for everyone. When I have a UTI 2 months ago, my doc put me on a antibiotic. I took all of them, but they werent strong enough. I thought my UTI went away because the symptoms disapeared. However, a few weeks later, I got a kidney infection and had to go to the ER. The doc said that my UTI really never went away because the antibiotics were not strong enough to kill it off and so the infection spread to my kidney. Then, I had to go on HIGH dosage antibiotics treatment until my kidney infection went away. SO just make sure that you know exactly what bacteria is causing the UTIs and make sure that the antibiotics kills all of the infection, otherwise it will just come back or even worse, spread to your kidneys!! ALso, taking a probiotic may help with the diarrhea that often comes along with antibiotic treatment. If you havent done so yet, try the antibiotic Levequin- it is the only antibiotic that is good enough to completely knock out my UTIs/Kidney infection.
