E Coli Urine infection UPDATE

[miasmum]

Well we are back. Different antibiotics again. Still blood in the urine, even though you cant see it now.

The sample we took looked much better, clearer and we couldn't see any blood, but he tested it and said there is still a lot of blood and other signs of infection. He has changed antibiotics to high dose Cephalexin which I am pleased about.

He did say do you smoke and afterwards Tim said why did he ask that? I shrugged but I know, its because the risk of bladder cancer is drastically increased in smokers. I am trying not to dwell on that and he did ask it before he tested the urine. He still thinks it is a bladder infection, but wants Tim to have further investigations if the blood hasn't cleared.

So here we go with antibiotics number 3. I was so sure he was on the mend last night :boohoo:

So we start again thank you all x

Thats already been done Saundra, thats how we know it is an e.coli infection sensitive to four antibiotics, of which two havent worked.

The result was back within 48 hours

Nasty though it is I would recommend a prostate biopsy.

Our GP is very good so I am sure if they feel that is what is needed they will arrange it
