Going by the reports, you need to treat both simultaneously and avoid coitus till future samples from both of you show no growth on culture. Treatment from your physician with a drug from the most sensitive to antibiotic group for sufficient duration is mandatory.

I am a 28 year old male. I had urine infection in early january, it made me urinate very frequently, had fever. I went to a doctor, urine examination showed bacteria but urine culture didn't detect anything. The doctor gave antibiotics, etc and I got better. But after I finished the prescription, within a week I got frequent urination again with pain in lower abdomen. I again went to the doctor, after urine tests I had e-coli infection. I am on amikacin injection and feel normal, no symptoms. The doctor also prescribed ultrasound, everything was normal but I had significant urine retention in the report (no prostate issues, no urinary tract abnormalities detected in ultrasound), the doctor prescribed urimax tablets. Nowadays, I drink around 3.5-4 litres of water to avoid infection but I feel less urge to urinate, when I go, my urine stream slows down a bit early, I also have to wait longer in the bathroom to empty as much as I can. How to correct this urine retention problem? Is there another disease here? Does exercise help?

For mild cases, natural remedies like Kegel exercises, hydration, herbal supplements, dietary changes, and lifestyle changes can help manage urinary retention. However, severe cases might require medical intervention.
kidneys will only be able to make highly concentrated urine that irritates the bladder. Therefore, staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day is one of the essential pieces of any treatment plan for urinary retention

It’s because of weakness. It will take few weeks to recover fully. Follow this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach.

No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U should eat whatever your mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is your traditional foo...more

I want to consult for my mother, age-53y. Three weeks ago she feels mild aches right lower back side occasionally. So we went to gp two weeks ago, gp suggested for usg whole abdomen and urine culture. Usg report is normal but urine culture found escherichia coli (100000 cfu/ml of unspun urine). But no burning sensation during urine. Antibiogram of culture report: amikacin – scefotaxime- cefixime- s ciprofloxacin- norfloxacin- ofloxacin- r levofloxacin-i lomefloxacin-imeropenem- moxifloxacin- Inalidixic acid- nitrofurantoin- s gentamycin- spiperac/tazobactam- samplicillin/sulbactam-s (s=sensitive,i=intermediate, r=resistant) gp prescribed - martifur 100 tablet - once for first 3 days, twice for next 12 days. Syp uriliser- 2table spoon 1/2cup water twice but no improvement after two weeks. Again consult with gp, he prescribe - o2 tablet – twice for 5 days martifur 100 – once for 10 days. But no improvement. As per antibiogram e.coli has ofloxacin resistant. But gp prescribed o2 tablet (ofloxacin-200 mg). Does o2 tablet works against these strain bacteria? Martifur 100 tablet - once for first 3 days, twice for next 12 days. Can this antibiotic effective because initially 3 days once a day (may be low dose, may bacterial got resistant for low dose)? Please suggest another medicine which would be better.

There is no medicine which has no side effects. We have to look for them & manage them accordingly. The wound on the ankle must be attended by a surgeon.
