Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. If I were your doctor, I would advise you for a urine routine/microscopic and culture sensitivity test before starting any antibiotic which could be changed later to the right one after the report of urine test was ready. With the proper antibiotic for 10-12 days the UTI should be relieved unless someone gets it repeatedly specially if sexually active. The persistent pain could also be due to the rupture of the cyst with spillage of fluid inside the pelvic cavity. At the same time one has to keep in mind appendix as an offending organ which could be missed and create problem. If no conclusion is reached for a persisting pain abdomen, then a diagnostic/therapeutic laparoscopy could be the solution.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
