I think a more thorough examination should be done by your doctor on the Urinalysis results..these results tell a lot of things (though not everything). Usually, there are pus cells and bacteria present.. the doctor usually requires a daily dose of antibiotics to treat the infection plus a constant supply of liquid to flush the them out...taking buko juice or cranberry juice is not bad..

Causes of Recuurent UTI:

1) Incomplete treatment. Before stopping antibiotics, a repeat urinalysis should be done to assure that infection is fully eradicated; if not yet, continue or shift to a stronger antibiotic.

2) Wrong choice of antibiotics. Best to do a culture and sensitivity exam to determine the culprit microorganism/bacteria.

3) For females, especially post normal delivery mothers, possible vesico-vaginal fistula ( urinary bladder - vaginal connection) from birth trauma. Needs surgical correction.

4) Poor fluid intake.

5) kidney stones. suggest to do an ultrasound of kidneys and urinary bladder

6) vaginitis. bacteria migrating from infected vagina to urinary tract.

sa nueva ecija, sabaw ng nilagang mais ang gamot dyan.
subukan din niya magpatingin sa ibang doctor.

ok cranberry juice, cranberry capsule, boiled corn hair, buko juice, water

mas prone ang babae sa uti, because of shorter urine tract, check up with ur doctor, do urinalysis, antibiotics are ok, but drink a lot of fluid

doc otep would know more

May naalala akong kwento sa UTI na yan.

Minsan papunta kami ng mga officemates ko sa Ortigas, nasa kotse kami. We were listening to Ernie Baron's radio program, he was discussing UTI with a phone-in caller. One of our companions also had UTI at the time, so nakikinig siya sa explanation ni Ka Ernie sa radyo. To the question of what causes UTI, Ka Ernie said, "Isa sa mga sanhi ng UTI eh yung latak na semilya sa sinapupunan."

Dinig na dinig sa buong sasakyan yun, at halos mamula na parang kamatis yung kasama naming may UTI, andun pa naman yung boyfriend niya. :D
