Is it normal to continue to have tingling in bladder after treatment with antibiotics?

Do symptoms sometimes take awhile to go away completely after a uti?
It is like a shooting tingly sensation that comes and goes after I pee. I am taking azo cranberry pills and was wondering if maybe they are causing the tingling? The tingling sensaton is the only symptom I have left, I was treated last friday through sunday with tmz antiobiotic and also in the beginning of June with ten days of cipro for the same thing…

Antibiotics can cause also cause yeast infections. I have had yeast infections in the past and all were caused after a treatment of antibiotics for UTI. Yeast infections are just uncomfortable and can cause burning when you pee and maybe the tingling sensation your having. I am not sure if that would be the problem, but I always expect a yeast infection if I have used antibiotics. But never hurts to check with your doctor if you still have problems. Something else could be going on.

and in which way also would a one off treatment be enough to kill all the germs

I just received my first BCG treatment for bladder cancer yesterday, which is supposed to last for 6 weeks. They gave me a schedule for my next 5 treatments, and I noticed that they skipped two weeks in the middle, then started them again. They mentioned that the doctor would be on vacation or something to that effect. I’m wondering just how important it is to receive these treatments each consecutive week, or is it that important? The nurse didn’t think it really mattered when I asked about this. Also, I’m wondering about having sex during this treatment period, whether we should abstain or not

What can you do to help strengthen the bladder or what non prescription medicine can help with strengthening your bladder??

You have to understand that an overactive bladder has many causes….the main one is the aging of your muscles…There are a wide variety of methods to treat it if you’re interested there is a quite inexpensive and natural one here:

thanks

Drink lots and lots of water so you’ll pee a lot and flush out the bacteria that’s causing your infection. Cranberry juice (the 100% juice one, not the one mixed with sugar) is also proven to be another alternative to curing UTI.
If you’re still feeling discomfort when urinating (i.e. if the infection doesn’t go away by itself in 2-3 days) or if you’re feeling some pain in your lower and/or your upper back, please go to a doctor or urologist. It may be worse than a mere UTI.

Cranberry juice. Plain and simple. I particularly don’t like the taste of cranberries (too tart) but that’ll clear it up right away

Yes, it can have that effect in certain patients.

You can try monitoring/limiting your fluid intake a couple of hours before you have treatment, and try going to the bathroom right before the treatment starts. You can also ask the acupuncturist to pull the needles a few minutes earlier.

Often times this post treatment urgency fades with time.

TREATMENT
In most instances gallstones cannot be dissolved by medical treatment . The Gall Bladder must be removed along with the stones in it. People have asked me if "Gall Bladder Flush" therapy works. To my knowledge this treatment not effective and I do not recommend it. Doctors cannot ethically use or recommend any treatment unless it is known and proven to be both effective and safe in a significantly large proportion of people.

LITHOTRIPSY: Using ultrasonic shock waves to break stones is not a currently accepted form of treatment for Gall Bladder stones.

SURGERY: The most effective cure for gall bladder stones is surgery. The classic "old" operation required a big cut, but nowadays most people are treated by Laparoscopic Surgery.

LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY
This is currently the treatment of choice for Gall Bladder stones. The Gall Bladder and the stones are removed through small punctures. It is technically possible to remove the stones alone – but this would leave the problem gall bladder behind – which could continue to cause problems or form stones. Removing a diseased gall bladder does not cause any disability. Under normal circumstances, one would not feel the absence of the gall bladder.

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

(Removal of the Gall Bladder via key-hole size punctures)

This operation is performed by specially trained surgeons. Special equipment is used to look inside the abdominal cavity ("stomach") with a video camera. The Gall Bladder with its stones are removed through small punctures.

A general anaesthetic is required and one has to stay in hospital for about 72 hours.

Laparoscopic surgery for gall bladder stones cannot be done in all cases. Some people, whose stones have moved out of the gall bladder into the bile duct may need either an open operation or an additional procedure known as an ERCP.

In addition, it is not technically possible to do a laparoscopic operation at all in some people because of severe inflammation or adhesions between organs. Such patients mat require an open operation.

ADVANTAGES OF LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY:
1. Much less painful, only 3 to 4 stitches are needed.

2. Only 2 to 3 days stay in hospital (as little as 1 day in some instances)

3. The patient can eat and drink the soon after operation. There usually no need for an intravenous drip to be administered for 2 or 3 days as used to be the case after "open" cholecystectomy – the name used for the operation of removal of a gall bladder through a big cut.

4. Normal life can be resumed in about a week.

5. Minimal blood loss at surgery.

i had bladder infection last year…and i took antibiotics about 2 weeks. last week i had a check up…the nurse said theres still bladder infection…should i take more antibiotics? i kno cranberry juice helps..
am i gonna get kidney infection?

Physician may order the urine culture and sensitivity test to know if your infection is due to bacteria that have developed resistance to common antibiotics.
Using the lab results, antibiotics can be prescribed. It is important to do full course, keep clean hygeine, drink plenty of water and follow up urine examination for cure.

Your doctor will tell you what treatment will work best for you. Good luck!

The best medical treatment for gall stones is to have the gall blader removed. Especially if your wife is unable to keep any food down. Cause that means she has a blockage and if she does not get it seen too she could die.
