Urologist in 2025

Back from the doctor. Leukocytes are still up, as I figured. The doctor I saw was a bit hard to understand but very nice. He suspects the Cipro might not have been the right antibiotic for me. I’m starting Bactrim today, which has helped in the past.

Also, due to the number of UTIs I’ve had these last couple of years, he wants me to go to a urologist. The urologist will then refer me for imaging. They’ll check the structure of my bladder as well as look for any stones. So off I go to yet more doctors. I just can’t get a break.

I really wonder if the lower left cramping that I have intermittently could be connected or not.

He didn’t do a vaginal swab, but I really don’t think I have a yeast infection. I might after the Bactrim, though, and therefore I might have to take Diflucan.

I don’t know what to think at this point. I’d like to think I’m just getting more UTIs because of my age and that the spots really were due to atrophy and that the cramp is simply digestive, but why would I have these things all of a sudden?

The way I pee isn’t normal either. The stream is a bit weak, and sometimes I don’t do much.

Another possibility I read about besides a blockage, is the pelvic muscles weakening and tipping the bladder in a way that makes it harder for it to empty completely. It definitely seems harder to squeeze the last bit out. There’s always a bit of a delay as you get older, but it’s been more noticeable lately.

I highly doubt I have anything cancerous. Let’s just say I would be seriously surprised if I did.

Anyway, I took the list of doctors home that they gave us, and we looked up who was in my plan. Tomorrow, I’ll give a group here in town a call when I’m hopefully more awake and can think straight. I’m horribly tired today.
