Hi All,
My father's face leg swelling is okay now from medicine and high BP is controlled via medicine too. Doctors will check next week if there is need for angiography or not. But again after a month seems UTI infection is back. What can be the cause?
High BP? Is he taking enough prednisone?
BP is okay now but UTI has come back in a month
In those with PCA ,the tendency to have recurrent UTI is common. Most UTIs are caused by Gram Negative bacilli bacteria such as E Coli, Klebsiella or Proteus.
Antibiotics which kill these types of bacteria are Ciproflox, levoflox, Bactrim etc.
Get the UTI treated by the doctor ASAP. Then, try to prevent further UTIs by natural, cold pressed, sugar free Crane berry juice .
Thank you, yes cranberry seems good idea
Tell him to drink plenty of PANI... and stay away from hot spicy Indian dishes.... I meant food, not women....
Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Haa John very humorous
His lower back and side pain is still there any reason why this pain is still there even though uti antibiotics treatment has started
Are you certain it’s not chronic bacterial prostatitis ? Symptoms can be identical to a “UTI” and prone to recur promptly if inadequate length of treatment
A usual 7-10 day course of antibiotics is inadequate for prostatitis.
Hard to diagnose,even harder to get a positice urine culture. May be worthwhile to treat empirically for 28 days
Which test to be done to find bacterial prostatitis?
classical tests are culture of semen or post-prostatic massage urine culture--very specific but not very sensitive (i.e ,more false negative results)
The lack of sensitivity can be due to the presence of "fastidious" bacteria. They are called fastidious because they will not grown in routine culture media but require very special media. This is a problem being recognised more than in the past. Below are some references from the literature:
Gram-Positive Uropathogens, Polymicrobial Urinary Tract Infection, and the Emerging Microbiota of the Urinary Tract.

Okay
Fever after the monthly degarelix shot
Zytiga ineffective after 12 months
PSA after one month on lupron
Is it crpc after 22 months of diagnose?
