Was diagnosed with a UTI two weeks ago - lot of bleeding and pain - now onto third lot of antibiotics after the first two didn’t work . On Monday they said they suspect the infection has hit my kidney . Taken nitrofurantoin and coamoxiclav, still absolutely shattered .
GP surgery rang this morning said per last results of urine sample they now want me to come in for an internal and vaginal swabs . I’m guessing the sample has grown something suggesting thrush or something like that ? Receptionist wasn’t sure - just said something about high levels of ‘pus cells’ and I can’t get the swabs done for another week . Presuming that’s so that the antibiotics are done .
Does anyone know if it’s relatively normal , to end up needing swabs etc as well as antibiotics ? I’d have been quite happy to go and just take thrush treatment OTC but receptionist said they really need to do a proper exam etc . No chance it’s an STI thankfully ... although maybe that’s what they’re suspecting and don’t realise there’s no chance !
