Hi Dear

Welcome to the board of Health care Magic

Dear Friend, again you are suffering with UTI.

Please get the urine culture /sensitivity test done to know the actual bug and drug most sensitive to be used. So that you can be properly treated.
Please make a point that partial treatment of UTI may leads to serious complication in long term.

Please complete the course of antibiotic advised to you, which is very important for the cases of UTI to avoid the re occurrence.

One should also go for the ultrasound KUB region to know wether any growth ,calculi in the tract or any anatomical abnormality.
.
Plenty of liquids are a must to easily flush out the bacteria.

Hope your query is answered with your satisfaction and is useful to you.

Thanks

Hello dear,

Presence of leucocyte esterase & pus cells in urine indicate bacterial infection.
The reason for persistence of UTI after treatment & repeated recurrence can be due to:
1. Inadequate duration of treatment
2. Inappropriate dosage of the medications
3. Inappropriate selection of antibiotics against the causative organism.
4. Improper treatment of underlying cause of the UTI.

Under such circumstances, the following corrective measures should be taken:
1. Discuss regarding the adequate duration of treatment with your treating physician.
2. Discuss regarding the proper dosage of medications depending your age and body weight.
3. Culture & sensitivity of the urine to be done for selection of appropriate antibiotic.
4. Additional investigations like X ray KUB (Kidney Ureter & Bladder) and Ultrasound scan of abdomen & pelvis will be helpful in detecting any hidden focus of infection in the Genito urinary tract.

Wishing you a good health.
Thanks & take care.
