Has anyone every had a UTI after a D&C. I have had this for week and did not know until I went to the DR and told him I thought I had this. Otherwise I thought it was bad cramp. Well, after my cycle I still have pain in my lower stomach and lower back. I have had antiobiotics for 4 days tomorrow is the last day. I hope this all ends soon. i have had enough since April 25th when I miscarried. D&C on 4/28... enough already..

has anyone had this problem before?? and how did you deal with it??

I have been drinking lots of water, cranberry juice and trying to flush it out as much as possible?

any suggetions?? Please???

Are you still have UIT symptoms? There is a drug called pyridium that you can get by prescription or OTC as Uristat that helps with the pain, urgency and burning of UTI.

Your experience is not that uncmmon, but it's no fun for sure.

I do hope you are feeling better soon.

Much love,
Michaela

Hi EMH,

Even though I was positive for UTI and had the antiobiotics. I now have products of conception still left inside of me since 4/28/05 D&C. I guess those were the symptoms all along....

It very well could be. I am so sorry. I had a uterine infection after my first loss...it just seems to make an already awful experience more awful; insult to injury.

I'm very sorry...

Michaela,

That is what I am afraid off an infection?? I contacted the Dr's office today and they said this will not harm my body being in there so long, if not he would have taken it out rightway. and I can wait until Wednesday. As my GP told me it needed to come out right away. So two opinions is confusing..

I am in a lot of discomfort. lower back pain and lower stomach ache. I cannot even eat a full meal as I feel bloated very quickly. Sleeping is frustrating as I cannot sleep on my stomach because it hurts and my back burns. So I put a heating pad on my back last night and it worked a little.

I will go home this afternoon and take a tylenol PM or Copromol with Codine that will give me a few hours of sleep.

thanks for your concern.
How are you doing Michaela???
