Hello,
This is possibly Urinary tract infection that needs prompt antibiotic treatment. It is not related to birth control pills
Rx: Nitrofurantoin 100mg 1-0-1 * 5 days Syp. citralka 10ml mix it with water 1-1-1 for 3 days Paracetamol if you have pain
đđDRINK PLENTY OF WATER TO FLUSH OUT THE BACTERIA- THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
Since you found blood in urine, please do a urine test just to confirm.
Please stay hydrated. đ Drink 3-4 litres of water .
I trust this helps Feel free to talk again Thank you
Hi Shantel, thank you for reaching out. I understand this must be very worrying. Iâll help you understand what might be going on and what to do next. Your issues are probably due to post-coital UTI, but we have to keep in mind the other causes as well. Here is my advise -
1. Get these tests done - Urine Routine & Microscopy, Urine Culture & Sensitivity, Ultrasound of KUB and if your periods are delayed then a Urine Pregnancy Test. Review with the reports.
2. Some antibiotics or other important medications can be prescribed after the reports.
3. Till then, drink plenty of oral liquids, start Syrup Urine Alkalinizer 2tsp + 1/2 glass water thrice a day. Avoid intercourse until the infection clears. Avoid Holding urine for long. Avoid using harsh soaps or vaginal washes. Avoid tight synthetic underwear.
