UTI

A MyKidneyDiseaseTeam Member asked a question 💭
Princeton, ME

Dr says I have to do a week straight of iv antibiotics because pills will not get rid of the UTI I have. Then he will do a Cystoscopy to look in my bladder after the iv fluids are done. Has anyone gone through this?

It has been a while since I have had a UTI. I sure hope it stays that way too! I hope you feel better soon!

Hi Darcy I'm on a maintenance antibiotic 3x/wk to avoid getting UTIs. So far it's working. Although when I have to give a urine sample I have a very slight infection. But usually they're not worried about it.

Thanks for the information. I will talk to my urologist and nephrologist about it. I hope it keeps working for you.
