Broad-spectrum antibiotic for genitourinary infections

Genitourinary infections are common among both men and women, and among adolescents. These pathologies require prolonged monitoring by a urologist, constant monitoring of blood counts. In the long term, untreated infections can threaten life and provoke the development of chronic renal failure. Prescribing antibiotics by a doctor for genitourinary infections is a necessary step; otherwise, it is impossible to get rid of the disease. No alternative treatment methods can neutralize microscopic bacteria that have settled in the urethra, kidneys, bladder, and genital mucosa. Only broad-spectrum antibiotics for genitourinary infections will help get rid of discomfort and restore performance.

Genitourinary Infections

You should beware and consult a urologist or nephrologist as soon as possible with the following symptoms:

• drawing pains in the lower abdomen and lower back (can be present only on one side, or on two at the same time);
• high fever and fever - in some cases, the indicator can rise to forty degrees (in this case, do not self-medicate, but call an ambulance as soon as possible);
• chills - tremor of the hands can reach such a force that the patient is not able to press the buttons on the phone to call for help;
• the chronic course is accompanied by lethargy, asthenia, low working capacity, lack of desire to do something;
• the presence in the urine of blood and anemia;
• urethritis (an infectious inflammation of the urethra) is accompanied by severe pain during urination.

Therapy involves not only taking antibiotics for genitourinary infections, but also adhering to bed rest, as well as nutrition according to the principles of medical diet No. 7 for kidney diseases. It is necessary to temporarily reduce the use of protein, as its metabolites create a load on the already weak kidneys and bladder. While the organs are struggling with the infectious process, one should forget about harmful and heavy foods and give preference to fermented milk products and boiled vegetables, fresh fruits.

Compliance with bed rest is very important. The patient will have to take sick leave for the duration of antibiotic therapy for the treatment of genitourinary infections. We'll have to forget about physical activity for a month or two. And with all the desire, most likely, there simply will not be any strength to exercise: almost all patients during the period of exacerbation of genitourinary infections feel very weak. This condition most often lasts about ten days. Then, with the use of well-chosen antibiotics for genitourinary infections, you feel better. The patient recovers on average three weeks later: he can return to his labor duties, becomes cheerful and cheerful.

Common Causes of Pathologies

With inflammation of the genitourinary system, the cause of the problem in most cases is staphylococcus or streptococcus. Less commonly, E. coli disrupts the functioning of organs.

In men, urogenital diseases most often appear after severe hypothermia, unprotected sex, regular alcohol abuse in parallel with malnutrition.

In women, urogenital infections are often associated either with a diagnosis of chronic pyelonephritis, or with non-observance of personal hygiene rules. Low immunity, autoimmune diseases, diabetes mellitus, vaginitis and often recurring cystitis are also “fertile soil” for urogenital infections.

If a genitourinary infection is fixed in one of the organs - for example, in the bladder - it can be confidently stated that very quickly (within a few days) it migrates through the ureters above - to the kidneys. And this is already very dangerous in general for the patient’s life: very often the disease flows into chronic pyelonephritis or glomerulonephritis. And these ailments, in turn, sooner or later lead to the development of chronic renal failure. That is why it is very important as soon as possible, even at the first symptoms, to choose a universal antibiotic for genitourinary infections in men and women and to undergo a full course of treatment. If this is not done, the disease will not go away by itself, but will only go to an increasingly serious stage and affect more and more organs.

Rules for the use of antibiotics for genitourinary infections

There are several basic rules on how not to harm the general state of health when taking antibiotic drugs. Some patients are afraid of taking such powerful drugs - these are groundless fears. Antibiotics for genitourinary infections, as a rule, are prescribed a new generation. Subject to the rules of admission, they do not carry a toxic threat to internal organs.

1. In parallel with the course of antibiotic drugs, probiotics should be taken. This is necessary so that the pathogenic intestinal microflora does not multiply. A broad-spectrum antibiotic of a genitourinary infection kills almost all pathogenic bacteria indiscriminately. As a result, a healthy intestinal microflora suffers and diarrhea develops. This condition can not be left without treatment: it will recover on its own for a very long time. Linex, Bifidumbacterin, Lactobalance drugs will come to the rescue.
2. Women along with a course of antibiotic drugs should use suppositories to prevent the development of thrush. Immunity during the period of exacerbation of genitourinary diseases is greatly weakened, and the candida virus (which is present in the body of almost every person) is activated. As a result, after a course of treatment, 80% of women suffer from vaginal candidiasis, or, as the people call it, thrush.
3. With pathologies of the kidneys and bladder, the amount of protein in the diet should be limited for a while. This is medical diet number 7. It involves reducing the burden on the kidneys. You can eat raw and boiled vegetables, cereals on the water, lean meat of turkey and chicken. Such a sparing diet helps to reduce the burden on the kidney tissue, and recovery is faster. But you should not starve or refuse food: this will not benefit the immune system. It’s just worth temporarily switching to diet food.

List of broad-spectrum antibiotics in suspensions

Effective with genitourinary infections in men and women, antibiotics in the form of a suspension:

1. Amoxicillin. Also available in tablet form. It can be used to treat children. It has been actively used in nephrology since the Soviet years. The downside of Amoxicillin is that some bacteria are resistant to it. The drug is prescribed only after the analysis has been carried out and bacteria that have caused urinary tract pathology have been identified. If he is treated on his own, then the result can not wait.
2. "Augmentin." With genitourinary infections in women, the antibiotic shows a good effect, as well as in the treatment of almost all genital infections. It is produced in the form of capsules and in the form of a suspension. It can be used to treat children and pregnant women (dosage is discussed with your doctor - self-medication is strictly prohibited). Before using Augmentin, the exact diagnosis must be known and general urine blood tests taken to help the nephrologist make a true clinical picture.
3. Suprax is an effective antibiotic for infections of the genitourinary system in women from the group of cephalosporins. Refers to modern third-generation antibiotic agents. Also suitable for the treatment of ENT organs, upper and lower respiratory tract. Often also used to treat children six months of age and older. If the disease is provoked by staphylococcus, then Suprax may be ineffective.

List of new-generation broad-spectrum antibiotic tablets

1. Cefixime is a fairly mild antibiotic. Effectively destroys the cellular structure of bacteria. Relief occurs after the first pill taken - the patient's temperature drops, his mood rises, he feels a surge of strength. However, do not flatter yourself and give up treatment that you have begun: the full course of therapy is at least seven days. It is impossible to prescribe Cefixim yourself - it should be prescribed by a nephrologist or urologist after compiling the clinical picture based on the tests submitted by the patient. The doctor will select the appropriate dosage based on the weight and general health of the patient.
2. Unidox Solutab. An effective tablet antibiotic for urogenital infections in women. The tool belongs to the tetracycline group of the last generation. It is actively used in the treatment of colds, acute respiratory viral infections, intestinal infections, urogenital pathologies. The main active ingredient is doxycycline. During pregnancy and lactation, as well as for the treatment of children, use is undesirable, but possible after the approval of the attending physician.
3. "Rulid" refers to fourth-generation antibiotic drugs. It is actively used in medicine in the treatment of pathologies of the infectious nature of the urinary system and upper respiratory tract. "Rulid" has a fairly narrow antibacterial effect. Using it yourself is not recommended: you may simply not notice the result. Reception is possible only after identifying the name of pathogenic bacteria, due to the action of which the disease arose.

List of effective broad-spectrum antibiotics in ampoules

The injectable form of antibiotics for infections of the genitourinary system in women and men has proven to be safe in comparison with tablets. With intramuscular or intravenous administration, the drug enters almost immediately into the bloodstream. Tablets are almost always very aggressive towards the mucous membrane of the esophagus and stomach (therefore, they are usually advised to take them after meals). Injection is devoid of these disadvantages. Only rarely is anyone able to give injections on their own, therefore they use such drugs mainly only in a hospital setting. In addition, for self-injection, the sterility of the room is very important.

1. "Cefoperazone" refers to the group of cephalosporins. the drug is made only in the form of ampoules for injection, which should be carried out once or twice a day, depending on the pathology. Used "Cefoperazone" for infectious inflammation in the respiratory, urinary tract, with dermatological pathologies. Proved to be effective as an antibiotic for infections of the genitourinary system in men and women. In some cases, the use in the case of gynecological infectious inflammation is justified.
2. Lincomycin is a universal antibiotic. With genitourinary infections of the latest generation, it can be used both intravenously and intramuscularly. Often prescribed for the treatment of the development of infectious pathologies after performed abdominal operations. The exact dosage and frequency of administration is determined only by the attending physician.

List of modern broad-spectrum antibiotics in suppositories

Rectal and vaginal administration, to the same extent as injection, reduces the burden on the digestive tract. Some patients are confused by this form of release. Meanwhile, antibiotics for genitourinary infections in children in the form of rectal suppositories are some of the best. Depending on the dosage chosen, they can be used in children, adolescents and adults. In the treatment of urogenital infections in women, vaginal suppositories with antibiotic action can be used.

If we talk about specific candles, then it is worth noting such suppositories as:

• "Indomethacin" in the form of rectal suppositories;
• "Methyluracil" in the form of vaginal suppositories;
• Terzhinan;
• Pimafucin;
• candles "Diclofenac" - can be used both rectally and vaginally.

Antibiotic drugs for cystitis and kidney inflammation

Cystitis often inevitably leads to pyelonephritis. And the reason lies in the fact that for one reason or another, women postpone a visit to the doctor and try to be treated with folk remedies or homeopathy. As a result, the infection rises in the ureters and chronic pyelonephritis develops (inflammation of the kidneys and pelvis). This is a very serious condition, which after several years (and in some patients faster) leads to the development of chronic renal failure. But this ailment is already fatal and requires either a donor kidney transplant or visits to hemodialysis procedures for the rest of its life.

The most effective antibiotics for pyelonephritis and cystitis:

• Cefotaxime;
• Amoxicillin;
• Lincomycin;
• "Augmentin."

It is impossible for the patient to prescribe these antibiotics for himself, since if the type of bacterium that provoked pyelonephritis is outside the drug’s “zone of action”, then the therapy will be in vain. Only after passing the tests and drawing up a complete clinical picture of the disease is it acceptable to prescribe treatment.

What is the most effective antibiotic for genitourinary infections?

There is no exact answer to this question, since depending on the general state of health and the level of immunity of the patient, the therapy will be different in each case. for example, if a urinary tract infection also goes to the genitals, complex treatment with several antibiotics will be required. Such complex cases should be treated in a hospital setting, constantly tested and monitored which antibiotic has best affected the clinical picture.

Based on test results, an experienced urologist or nephrologist can accurately prescribe the most effective medicine with an antibiotic effect. In each case, the treatment regimen will be different.

Methods for the prevention of genitourinary infections

A disease is always easier to prevent than to treat. If you follow simple rules, then you can prevent the development of genitourinary infectious diseases, and antibiotic therapy is not needed.

1. Do not sit on a cold floor, on concrete, do not allow hypothermia of the lower back and legs. In rainy, cold weather, wear only quality, warm, waterproof shoes.
2. Watch your diet. Avoid starvation, abandon strict diets. The quality of the immune system depends on the quality and quantity of food taken, which means its ability to resist various infections. Once a quarter, a course of high-quality vitamin-mineral complex should be taken.
3. Do not swim in ponds with dirty water, do not stay in cold sea water for a long time. It should be noted that swimming in the water in which other people are located often becomes the cause of infection with various infectious diseases.
