I think I have a UTI, what do I take

Good Morning, I think I have a UTI, since my RNY is there a certain medication that your doctor prescribes?   I just called my doc and left a message, I am hoping they will just call in something instead of me going in there...  Any information would be great.   

I use the same antibiotics I used pre-RNY (usually cipro).  If it really hurts you can ask for some phenazopyridine which is supposed to turn your urine into something that numbs whatever it touches, it helped make the first day more comfortable until the antibiotics started to help.  I also make sure and drink lots of water and 100% cranberry juice.  Data is mixed about whether or not the cranberry juice really helps, but I swear it does

Feel better soon!

Any antibiotic is fine (as  long as you aren't allergic, of course).

Thanks Y'all, on my way to the doctor now!   

They may just automatically put you on Cipro or something, but they usually culture it too to know specifically the type of bacteria and which antibiotic you need for it. I'd head in asap though, UTI's are nothing to mess around with, they can lead to a serious kidney infection. I wouldn't just have them call it in either on your own suspicion because it's more beneficial to you for it to be cultured.
