Suggest Treatment For Recurring UTI Infection And Kidney Stones

I m a 33 yr old female, 5 7 150.. I was diagnosed medically sponge kidney which causes large amounts of kidney stones and recurrent UTI infections. I had a lithotripsy done in the beginning of February, discharged with a serious complication, active bleeding hemorrhage on my kidney. Prepped for transfusion but I begged them not to do it. Hospital stay for a week and went home. I m still having horrible pain under both sides of my ribs, that wraps around to my back. The pain travels up, between my shoulder blades, and travels into my chest. Shoulder pain on right side as well. I m in the process of having a bunch or hormonal testing done, they think possibly cushings. I do t know what else to do. I don t want want anymore pain meds, I want an anwser to where this pain is coming from. Help me, please!!

Hello,

Well, recurrent uTI may be very difficult to treat since some resistant bacterias may be present.

It also indicatesfew things: possible cause to be incontinenc, evacuation or inappropriate antibiotics therapy.

2. If Prostate problems are present, then incomplete evacuation will lead to residual urine, which can get infected, and results in recurring infection. Correction of prostate problems along with plenty of fluids and cranberry juice will reduce recurring infection.

3. If urine culture and sensitivity was not done before identifying appropriate antibiotics, then its necessary. Do get this test done. Along with above correction and appropriate antibiotics, infection is easily treatable.

4. More fluids along with cranberry juice will help in removing of infection through urine.

If any catheter is being used, it needs to be removed to avoid another source of entry of infection.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Iven Romic Rommstein
