Urinary tract ?

I am a male and have blood in my urine and its burns when I pee, When I went to the Doc he said it was a urinary tract infection,,,,48 hours later it still burns to pee and I called him and he said the Bacteria is not growing so he does not know..Any Ideas ? I have been on antibiotic for 51 hours or so now..

These are symptoms of a UTI

Pressure in the lower pelvis
Pain or burning with urination
Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Need to urinate at night
Cloudy urine
Blood in the urine
Foul or strong urine odor


Additional symptoms may include:
Painful sexual intercourse
Penis pain
Flank (side) pain, vomiting, or fever and chills (may be a sign of kidney involvement)
Mental changes or confusion (in the elderly, mental changes or confusion often are the only signs of a urinary tract infection; possible spread to the blood should be considered)

Are you taking any of these drugs?

Nitrofurantoin
Cephalosporins
Sulfa drugs (sulfonamides)
Amoxicillin
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
Doxycycline
Quinolones


Dont be alarmed if your UTI isnt cured in 3 days..... Continue to use ALL of your medication, even if it doesnt seem to be working.

Also, you may want to ask your doctor about a possible Kidney infection (pyelonephritis) which occurs in recurrent UTI's or serious UTI's.

Here are symptoms of a kidney infection, as you see they are alot simular to a UTI.
Flank pain or back pain
Severe abdominal pain (occurs occasionally)
Fever
Higher than 102 degrees Fahrenheit
Persists for more than 2 days
Chills with shaking
Warm skin
Flushed or reddened skin
Moist skin (diaphoresis)
Vomiting, nausea
Fatigue
General ill feeling
Painful urination
Increased urinary frequency or urgency
Need to urinate at night (nocturia)
Cloudy or abnormal urine color
Blood in the urine
Foul or strong urine odor
Mental changes or confusion

Hope this helps

a second opinion would be helpful. Might you have the clap?

continue with your antibiotics and drink LOTS of cranberry juice!!!

It's nothing to worry about..just takes a while for the antibiotics to do their thing.

You should be fine in a day or so.

If you are still having problems 7 days after seeing your doctor go back.

Good luck

If you feel no relief or your symptoms worsen seek another opinion. Also drink lots of clear fluids, water is best. If you went to an ER or treatment center then try a phsicians office. Don't want too long. Sometimes a bacteria takes 72 hrs to grow out I would check back with the first contact at that point if not satisfied seek some one new.

I get bladder and UTI's quite often. I've had them so many times, I can treat myself at home rather than antibiotics unless it's really bad. When I am placed on antibiotics it is usually three to five days before the burning goes away. If it's still there once you completed the antibiotics, you should go back to the doctor. You should be drinking lots of liquids right now. Water and cranberry juice are excellent for UTI's. Try to avoid coffee, alcohol and caffeine as they will irriate the infection more. Otherwise, it could be an STD. Were you checked for any STD's? Hopefully that is not the case. Also, while you are experiencing the infection, I find it best to not have sex until the pain is completely gone as any bacteria can make it worse. Good luck to you.

it will take a few days for it to stop buring.. i was told that when guys get them.. it usally burns more and takes longer to get rid off.. just drink lots of water,cranberry juice and stay away from pop.. it dehidrates you.. keep taking your meds and take all of them.. and a thing to know is.. befor and after you have sex.. pee..it clean's your system out and helps prevent this.. i get them 2 times a year..so i know what im talking about..
