Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of UTI

I am 43 year old white female. I have been having pain in my mid section, sides and back. The pain gradually started almost 2 weeks ago and it feels as if getting worse with each passing day. At first I thought it was a UTI so I ve been treating with cranberry juice and microbid antibiotic for UTI. I stopped taking the antibiotic because it wasn t helping and it normally would. I am well hydrated drinking water, Gatorade or cranberry juice. My symptoms include constant pressure pain, I feel like I m swelled, I can lay on my side and items to worsen the pain and when I urinate it doesn t hurt but it is like dark yellow and orange mixed. I ve had UTI s most my life and I ve had two kidney stones with the most recent one a year ago with surgery to remove it. I had a hysterectomy in 2003 due to a softball size fibroid and while in surgery the doctor removed a softball size benign tumor from my ovaries and they removed my appendix as well. I also had gallbladder removed in 1997 after my daughter was born because of gallstones. I do not have high blood pressure and I am not a diabetic. I hope this information is helpful and you can give me some idea of what may be my problem. Thank you for your time.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello, Welcome to Ask a doctor services. I have read your question.

Since you have a history of UTI, get Urinalysis(R/E & C/S) done. If you are sexually active your partner should also get urinalysis done. The C/S, report will help you take specific antibiotics which will effectively work.

Since you are passing dark yellow urine, you should get physically examined by a GP, to rule out any liver enlargement or liver dysfunction. You may have to go through some blood tests, liver function tests & Imaging tests.

To be on the safer side take plenty of water, restrict oily food, take home made boiled food.

For abdominal pain you can take antacids or Spasmol (Spasmoproxyvon), one sos when needed.

Your treatment will depend upon the pathology detected. Take care.
Regards,
Dr Nupur K
