Corn Silk is helpful for any irritation of the urinary system. Corn Silk is used for renal problems in children, and also as a urinary demulcent combined with other herbs in the treatment of cystitis, urethritis, and prostatitis. Corn Silk was used traditionally as a mild diuretic. Chinese research indicates that Corn Silk reduces hypertension and reduces blood clotting time.
Medicinal Action and Uses---A mild stimulant, diuretic and demulcent, useful in acute and chronic cystitis and in the bladder irritation of uric acid and phosphatic gravel; has also been employed in gonorrhoea. In action like Holy Thistle.

yuck! you have one rotten crotch!!

Make sure it clears...otherwise you end up with a kidney infection, the pain of this is unbearable...

Call your doctor's office asap and ask to speak directly to the doctor - have your list of questions ready and don't give up until you are satisfied, otherwise, go get another doctor asap!!!! It is possible, that you are experiencing the unfortunate side effects of antibiotics - they kill the good germs as well as the bad, leading to secondary infections. Ask your doctor if eating yogurt or drinking cranberry juice might help. Good luck to you - its your body, so protect it!!

This may sound weird, but buy some of the baby washing powder "Dreft" and make yourself a bubble bath every night and soak in it. It will help clear up UTI, yeast infection, etc.

Male or Female, the corse of action for UTI should be
CIPRO 500 mg 2 X Daily for 6 days.
For males with Protitaitus, the corse is 21 days - 2 X Daily.

I know.. Done it enough times...

If your symptoms are typical and you're generally in good health, antibiotics are the first line of treatment for most UTIs. Which drugs you use and for how long depends on your health condition and the bacteria found in your urine tests. Drugs most commonly recommended for simple UTIs include amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox), nitrofurantoin (Furadantin, Macrodantin), trimethoprim (Trimpex, Proloprim), and the antibiotic combination sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra). Make sure your doctor is aware of any other medications you're taking or any allergies you have. This will help him or her select the best treatment. Mayo Clinic website

Pyridium - makes you pee bright yellow, but takes away the cramps and burning (must be used with the antibiotic though)

For the antibiotic they gave me Cipro (non-generic) for 10 days.

However, if you have a yeast problem and your yeast is affecting more than just your vagina (vaginitis), your body's reaction to the yeast may be producing white blood cells that your P-ACT is assuming is a UTI. (Personal experience)

Start on the plain yogurt as the antibiotics you are taking for the UTI will kill off the good bacteria that keeps yeast under control, making your discharge worse. Yogurt contains the good bacteria.

Girl go get you some organic cranberry juice. I had a UTI and I drank some organic cranberry juice for a week and it cleared up.

UTIs are treated with antibacterial drugs. The choice of drug and length of treatment depend on the patient's history and the urine tests that identify the offending bacteria. The sensitivity test is especially useful in helping the doctor select the most effective drug. The drugs most often used to treat routine, uncomplicated UTIs are trimethoprim (Trimpex), trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra, Cotrim), amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox, Wymox), nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Furadantin), and ampicillin (Omnipen, Polycillin, Principen, Totacillin). A class of drugs called quinolones includes four drugs approved in recent years for treating UTI. These drugs include ofloxacin (Floxin), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), and trovafloxin (Trovan).
