Hello, Myself Pawan Gupta Age 62 Years, I am suffering due to Urinary Track Infection from last 2 and half year. Now as per my my urine culture test reports of last two months, all antibiotics are resistant. there is a continuous pain in lower abdomen and some time fever up to 100 degree fahrenheit. Advice me what to do.

Ans: Dear Mr Gupta,
I am not sure if you have any other underlying health issue for which you are undergoing treatment. However, for UTI, please consult a nephrologist. I am not sure why the infection has lasted this long. In any case, it should be treated in a timely manner to prevent any further damage.
As far as antibiotic resistance is concerned, it is a good reminder of rational and careful use of antibiotics else we all are likely to reach such situation.

From my clinical experience, I can say that many of the patients who shows initial resistance to antibiotics, later on become sensitive once again. This is a case for urinary tract related infections. So, best wishes.

In the meantime, please consult a nephrologist with all your detailed reports and take necessary action.
