Had Cystitis. Took Cephalexin. Why Is Urine Stream Thin?

I had cystitis 3 weeks ago and took in cephalexin as antibiotic. I didnt finish the coarse as i felt better after that. But i noticed my urine stream became thin. My urine color is light yellow sometimes clear i dont know if it's because of drinking too much water. I want to ask why my urine color is like that and why my urine stream became thin after the medication?

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have cystitis for which you are taking Cephalexin since 2 weeks.

Now you have noticed that urine stream is weak this is due to persistence of urethritis that you have and will get resolved once the infections subsides.
As regards colour of urine it has no significance if your water consumption is less urine becomes concentrated which looks dark yellow in colour where as white colour indicates dilute urine.

Please continue taking antibiotic and drink more water to keep your urine dilute .
