Hello my bladder infection not being resolved

Posted By Chris (Waco, Texas, Usa) on 12/22/2012

Hello, my name is Chris & I'm a healthy 28yr. old male dealing with what I believe is a Bladder Infection. So this all started off like a month & a half ago. I was peeing a lot, burning when I peed, no discharge, lower back pain, lower abdomen pain & also a itch inside the penis. My family doctor did a urine sample on me & he said the sample came back with a bit of an infection, so he gave me a antibiotic called Bactrim, & said to take it for five days. Well, I did that & it was still lingering around, went back & this time he gave me Cipro & said to take it 2X's a day for 14 days. Well I did that & went back for a third visit, same thing, did another urine sample & said their seemed to be a little stubborn infection still their & gave me four pills of Zithromax & that worked for like five days then it came back.

My doctor was worried about Kidney & Bladder stones, so he sent me to a referral to get a CT Scan, also checked me below for anything else. Well a few weeks ago, I went to get my CT Scan on my kidneys & bladder, I came back clear but said I had a mild case of Diverticulitis (WOW). Well I went to to the Urologist Wed, he checked my testicles & penis, also did another urine sample & said the culture did not grow anything. I told him I had been drinking water & taking cranberry extract pills as well. The Urologist said it is probably just a stubborn case of Bladder issues that will probably have to heal over time, but I'm getting sick & tired of this issue & want my regular life back, if anybody has any answers, please send me a message or leave comments here.

P. S. I just want the itch to go away, please I need help ASAP!
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris, Many people on the low dose naltrexone Yahoo group report that it is effective for various bladder problems. You can read about it at www.ldninfo.org and can join the Yahoo group, whose address is on the LDN site and ask for input from people who have had success with this particular problem. Best wishes!

Hi Chris, Have a look at 'mannose' which may help restore your bladder/urinary tract bacteria.

Having a bath with some apple cider vinegar can also help if there is any burning sensation.

I had a horrid cystitis problem last year - never experienced anything like it before! And in researching how to stop the problem from occuring, I discovered this product. It seems it is very safe to take long-term.

Best wishes. Carole

Chris from Waco, Texas, Usa:

May I suggest you go see a good homeopathic doctor if your problem lingers.. there are some deeper issues not being addressed by your MD and the so-called specialists but a good homeopath WILL find it.

I suggest trying pure cranberry juice. It worked for a serious chronic urinary tract infection for me when the antibiotics failed to. This treatment was prescribed for me by a urologist medical doctor. You drink one to three cups of pure cranbeery juice per day. My infection was gone in about 2 weeks using the cranberry juice....Oscar
