| Are you sexually active? If so, this could be part of the cause, it has been called honeymoon cystitis. If you are, you need to urinate immediately after sex.
Do you drink a lot of caffinated beverages? If so, you need to cut them out as caffine does not always allow the bladder to empty completely.
Do you drink a lot of water? If not, you should start as it will help cleanse the bladder.
When you are given the antibiotics do you take the entire treatment or do you stop when the symptoms go away?
What happens is although the symptoms are gone, the specific bacteria is not completely killed and out of your system. It goes into hibernation, so to speak. Then when you stop the meds earlier then required the bacteria effectively "wakes back up" and begins to multiply again.
It sounds as though you are not finishing your round of antibiotics because you should be taking them for at least 10 days. Some antibiotics need to be taken 2 or 3 times a day for 10 days to completely kill the bacteria. |
