Hi,
The withdrawal of the antibiotics doesn’t lead to the symptoms of UTI. However, there’s a possibility of UTI due to the loss of the protective effects of the antibiotic. The urine analysis will clarify the picture. However, as mentioned earlier drinking adequate water is extremely important as its role is no less than antibiotic in ensuring the flushing out of the bacteria. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
Thank you so much for your post! I am taking her in to get a urine test today. Is there any possibility that because she was taking the antibiotics for a few months that it was a "withdrawal" symptom?
Hi,
Even if the surgery is effective, the chances of getting recurrent UTI is quite common and thus there’s a possibility of the same even if the surgery was quite effective. I’ll suggest getting a urine analysis done along with a urine culture. She might need further antibiotics depending on the urine report. Please do ensure that she takes a lot of water as that’s got a good flushing effect on the bacteria and will facilitate in the cure of the UTI. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.
