Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Infection UTI For A Diabetic Patient
I was treated for a bacterial infection UTI for ten days, after meds were finished, three days later woke to all the same symptoms, (pain when urinating, a pinching feeling at start and finish, some pink with wiping, frequent trips with little to no results) I had a OBGYN exam the next day. A urine sample given at that time. Protein 30, Glucose Positive, WBC 10-15, RBC 2-5, Squamous cells moderate, Transitional cells few.
I always have protein in my urine test. I am diabetic, 57 yr old female with multiple autoimmune problems. A family history of bladder cancer.

Hi there,
I understand your concern, It looks like a resistant infection as it has recurs even after 10 day of antibiotic treatment and you also have diabetes and multiple autoimmune problems, your protein in urine may be because of diabetes or autoimmune diseases
If you would visit my clinic then I would advise a urine culture test and prescribe you antibiotics according to bacteria grown and sensitivity of antibiotic and also advise you and USG lower abdomen to rule out any structural cause of recurrent infection
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
