What Causes Persistent Urinary Tract Infection Despite Taking Antibiotics?
Hi. I am 43 and have had a urinary tract infection for four months. Yes I have been tested and tried several different anti-biotics. My pee is very cloudy and has white chunks in it. I also have a clear but sticky discharge. Sometimes I also have a green discharge. What the heck is going on? Why wont it go away. PS I also cant have sex because it hurts really bad. It feels like something is blocking the way in.
1)Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin.
2)Empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
3)Try to avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.
Hope that helps
