Dear Archie,
Hope you are doing well. After my last message posted here, she informed me that pain had gone after 5 days course of Sporidex. Eventhough she didn't ignored it as she used to drink 3 litres water daily and followed the daily routine as per the advice of her doctor and your's through this forum.
But yesterday morning she started severe abdominal pain followed by back pain. Afternoon, afternoon she felt a little relief so that she didn't go to doctor. But same happened today so that she went her Gynec. After urine test doctor detected Severe urinary infection. Doctor was also upset due to this prolonged infection. She prescribed Urspas, Ceftum250 & Oricitral Candid. Also told her to stop all other tablets she currently taking(Actiferrine&Calsus etc). She called me with desperation eventhough she has taken care of everything as much as she could.
Her EDD is end of this month(30/05/2004).
Dear Madam, I hope everything will be alright? Sadique Archie replied. Dear Sadique,

I am sorry that whole of her trimester was unpleasant with reference to UTI.

I know that UTI infections can recurre during pregnancy. However I am not too contented to note the way your wifes case was handled.

Lets not talk about what could have done and not to worry why it's not done.

Your wife can take prescribed medicines. She has to get this infection cleared anyhow prior to delivery.

May be we could make a suggestion to her Dr. if he/she does not mind. Could it be possible to perform cultural studies on her infectious agent. Specifically antibiotic sensitivity test to know exactly what is good drug and if that's safe during pregnancy.

She has only three to four weeks to go and hopefully she will be fine.

It's not surprising that infections are treated during week 36 -week 37, it's common.

And make sure that she keep visiting her Dr. and continue urine culture even though she feels pain is reduced, she should be absolutely free of infection at the time of delivery.

Sadique, do not worry, she will be fine and so will be your baby. As long as baby is moving/kicking everything is fine on that part and as long as she keep urine cultures continued nothing to worry after treatment.

Good luck
Archie
