Pregnant. Taking nitrofurantoin for frequent urination. Chunks appearing in urine. Should I be worried?
Answered by
Thank you for posting a query.
Look, the picture you uploaded, does not looks like to appear in urine. Most probably, it is coming out from your vagina. It is not a UTI.
And, it looks like some part of placental tissue.
It is not a good sign.
You need an urgent ultrasound scan of abdomen to rule out any possibility of missed / spontaneous abortion.
Rush to Emergency department of nearby hospital, if your treating doctor is not available right now.
Next management should be done according to the ultrasound scan report.
Hope this information suffices. Let me know, if you have any more question.
Regards.
Thank you for writing back.
Yes, you should go to ER right now.
Regards.

MD Hi
About 5 weeks ago I developed cystitis which I tried to get rid of myself by drinking plenty of fluids and cranberry juice. I couldn't get rid of it and was presribed trimethroprim for 3 days, this did nothing so I went to GP again on 4 day as I was vomiting and was unable to keep anything down by then. The GP prescribed Ciprofloxacin and painkillers but I couldn't keep these down either. By the following day my skin was a yellow colour and I was taken into hospital for 5 days and given Augumentum through a drip and the infection was the E-coli bacteria. I went home with 2 more days of antibiotics to take orally. I was still experiencing pain in the flank about 4 days after taking my last antibiotic so I called the Dr and blood test confirmed I still had the infection. I was given Augmentum for 7 days but 5 days after taking the last one I was still feeling bad. I was given Nitrofurdantoin on Friday to take 4 times a day but the pain seems to be getting worse. I am also anaemic and have been taking ferrous fulmurate since January. If I go back to the GP should I be asking to see a specialist?
MD Yes. I have klebsiella pneumoniae of the urinary tract. Does one ever recover from this infection? I have been quite ill for the last month. I have diabetes, high BP, hypothyroidism, chronic bronchitis, interstitial cystitis. I started out with bactrim, am now on trimethoprim and flagyl. I am 75 yrs of age.

MD My husband got very nauseated and extremely sweaty while urinating. He also got shaky. This happened once before about 5 years ago. What could cause this?
