urinary tract infection
by PrettyGirl85, Oct 28, 2007 05:40AM
I went to the doctor but i didnt tell him that I was taking antibiotics called nitrofurantoin because I thought that i had a UTI and he did all the test for a UTI and he didnt find anything so then we did an STD check and he didnt find anything except a mild yeast infection, i used all of the antibiotics and it hurts when I go pee again and it feels like i have to go pee like my bladder is full and I will only pee a little bit and my urine smells really bad and i have sharp pains in my abdomen area. Do you think this is a UTI or a STD?

It sounds like you may not have taken a long enough course for a UTI. Macrobid (nitrofurantoin) is a bacteriostatic (stops growth) not a bacteriocidal (kills the bacteria) antibiotic so the full course is necessary. Go back to a doctor you can trust to tell everything, including the medications you took like macrobid, and go right away. You don't want it to become a kidney infection. They can do more tests.
