Hello doctor, I am a 33-year-old male. I have problems in my private parts. Sometimes, I sense slight numbness, slight pain in testis with coldness. But all this sensation does not last long. There is mild fever with tiredness and fatigue. Sometimes, I sense something inside my urethra while urinating. It is not there always. So, I went to a doctor a month ago. He suggested me to get a urine culture and sensitivity test. I got the test report after four days. The report shows infection of E. coli. Currently, I am on Ciprofloxacin and disodium hydrogen citrate for the last seven days but to no avail. Kindly suggest the ways and means how to get rid of this E. coli infection. I have had an ultrasound twice, twice blood tests, twice urine tests, X-ray and done a urine culture and sensitivity test, physical examination of the private parts done. But lastly, the urine culture and sensitivity test had detected infection of E. coli. Please help.
Hello. Well, the treatment is apt according to the drug sensitivity report. The drug would have already started showing its effect by now that is within 48 hours after initiation if you have started. Kindly continue the medication. Drink lots and lots of water and liquids. Cranberry juice will help fight the UTI (urinary tract infection)Get back to me if you still have an increase in the frequency of urination, urgency, burning pain while passing urine, abdominal pain, and fever.
