Hello and thank you for asking HCM.
I have read your symptoms and i understand your concerns.
You have recurrent bladder infection (cystitis) and taking so many antibiotics might cause the green stool since the antibiotics work even in our intestine and they might change the normal bacteria present there.
If i was your caring doctor i would do an urine culture to find the bacteria present in the urine and to find the wright antibiotic to use. After each dose antibiotic,i would prescribe Probiotics also.
Here are some advices to help your bladder clean itself and help it to not get infections easily.
-have plenty of liquids,2-3 liters each day
-fresh fruit juice,orange juice or cranberry juice
-rose tea,peppermint-ginger-juniper berry tea to help the bladder clean itself and fight the infections
-urinate always just after having sex
-don't hold your urine for long
If you have any other question,feel free to contact me.
