Hello,
Here is my problem:
I am a male, 32 years old, normally never sick, but had recurrent UTI in the past 8 months.
The first one was in August 2007, got cyprofloxacin and went away. No urine culture done.
In September it came back, again cypro and I was "cured". No urine culture done.
In January, same problem, amoxiciline for 15 days, went away. No urine culture done.
In February, strong pain and blood in the urine (strong pain, urgency), culture done and showed E-coli, antibiotic resistant type. I received 7 day injection of Ertapen, it went away. I had Ultrasound and Reflux test done (X-ray), all normal.
In April (this months), I had the feeling of urgency again, went to the doctor, urine test done shows nothing. After one hour in the doctor's office, I felt a strong pain in my bladder and had blood in the urine, second urine test showed blood and wbc. I did a urine culture, no sign of bacteria.
I received Omnicef for 15 days. I did not feel any relief (no urgency anymore but still not comfortable), I went to a different doctor and did a CAT scan, showed nothing abnormal. I did a cystoscopy as well and showed some black spot on in the bladder (not cancer). The doctor said it is a bacteria, so I did another urine culture, it showed nothing.
I even did a TB test, and it was negative.
I am desperate, what can it be? I am taking a second antibiotics right now called (doxycycline) in case it is chlamydia, but no relief...
I am desperate, thank you for any help.
Larry
