Suggest Remedy For Chronic UTI

I have chronic uti for past 2-3 years. Recently I have been using combination of calcium carbonate, vitamin d3 which controlled it almost. But now I have it troubling me again.

I have showed gynecologist and urologist too but no one has answer to it.

Can I self administer norflox and citralka. I reside in Vietnam.

Thanks

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,

Intake of Norflox and Citralka will provide you temporary relief from symptoms. But if the underlying infection/ inflammation is not treated completely, there will be repeated recurrence of UTI.

Persistence of UTI can be due to:
1. Inadequate duration of treatment
2. Inappropriate dosage of the medications
3. Inappropriate selection of antibiotics against the causative organism.
4. Improper treatment of underlying cause of the UTI.

Under such circumstances, the following corrective measures should be taken:
1. Discuss regarding the adequate duration of treatment with your treating physician.
2. Discuss regarding the proper dosage of medications depending your age and body weight.
3. Culture & sensitivity of the urine to be done for selection of appropriate antibiotic.
4. Additional investigations like X ray KUB (Kidney Ureter & Bladder) and Ultrasound scan of abdomen & pelvis will be helpful in detecting any hidden focus of infection in the Genito urinary tract.

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
