Have Frequent UTI's. Took Amoxicillin, Ciprofloxacin, Cranberry Tablets, Not Much Relief. Solution?
Hi, I'm Stephanie age 27 and have been having frequent UTIs for the past few years. I have tried pretty much every antibiotic out there and haven't recovered. I've taken Amoxicillin, Norfloxacine, Ciprofloxacin, vitamin c, cranberry tablets, B-Mennose and more. I'm just now going to start trying Doxycycline Hyclate. Everytime I go to the doctor they prescribe me something that doesn't work. I believe I was starting to see a little bit improvement with Amoxicillin but that was after taking the whole bottle and 2,000 mg a day! I go to the bathroom most frequently during the day and at night (up to 8 times a night). What should I do? I've had it with the drs I've been seeing and scared to death to go to a urologist.

hi,
You are either suffering from recurrent UTI or chronic UTI which is not responding to antibiotics. You need expert care by urologist. UTI is common in sexually active young females and it usually respond to a course of sensitive antibiotic. If its not responding then you need to be evaluated for the cause of recurrent UTI. Get urine routine and culture sensitivity examination done. You need usg of abdomen and x-ray called voiding cystourethrogram to look for any reflux of urine into the kidneys. Please visit a urologist
