Even if the tests were not good (they are), you have now had at least three courses of recommended treatment for STDs (BTW, your health care professional is doing just the right thing, my congratulations to him/her) and, as a result, there is simply no way that you have a bacterial STD. For reasons that we don't understand, sometimes following antibiotics there is a slight residual discomfort (whether this is drug effect or something else is just not known). In addition, following an STD experience such as your, persons tend to become very attuned to sensations in their urethra which they would have previously overlooked. My advice is to have confidence in your health care providers, finish up your current course of antibiotics and stop. There is no way there is a further STD which needs treatment and the temporal association of your symtoms with your exposure make it unlikely that anything else is going on.
As for your other questions: a trace amount of non-hemolyzed blood might have indicated inflammation or might have been within the realm of normal. The ketones have nothing to do with infection of any sort- they may have been present because you hadn't eaten in a while.
Hope this helps. EWH
And thank you I will certainly use this site again never for this problem hopefully and gladly pay. cost is inconsequential to knowledgeable feedback
last one I swear :) doctors said ngu/uti cannot be detected in urinalisis yet on here I saw that they were. I had symptoms but no accurate diagnosis
Sorry, no good answer. EWH
Why would symptoms be allieviated and then return in seeming correspondence to therapy?
The specifc gravity simply measures how dilute or concentrated you urine was. It has no bearing on whether or not you had or have an infection.
Sorry, I cannot offer any dietary advice on this. Beyond my expertise and experience. EWH
Thank you for your response. I am glad you have confidence in the treatment and doctors I have seen, I was beginning to wonder.
Why though would the urgency come and go seemingly in correspondence with drugs? and how long would those residual effects potentially last? I urinated like fourty times the other day. I seriously have to pee all the time. My entire urinary tract feels horrible! back and kidneys are hurting too... urinalisis yesterday showed no signs of anything (not microscopic)
Also I was still wondering about what the specific gravity meant in urine culture report... Immense thanks for your input from immensely upset urethra.
Is their any diet choices that may enhance healing or reduce residual uncomfort?
Thank you, thank you. One question that was not answered and one new one.
I really appreciate this site and I want to point out how helpful it is not only to me but surely to others that are looking for info. Thank you.
