Hi
It could be a yeast infection due to the antibiotics causing burning during intercourse.
Do you have pain or burning when urinating? If you still have a UTI you will need another antibiotic to prevent it from becoming a kidney infection.
Are you experiencing any back pain or pressure?
Take Care..hope you feel better soon..

I would lean towards a yeast infection as well. Very common with antibiotics. You should go back to the doctor to make sure it is infact a yeast infection. They will tell you what to use to get rid of it. If you get any in the future you should be able to recognize the symptoms and you can get over the counter treatments |
you mean the UTI symptoms? I waited a few days cause it started off gradually and i wasn't sure if it was or not. i'd say my symptoms started on a thursday night and i went to the hospital early sunday morning. i did mention to the doctor about kidney disease because i was having a lot of pain in the area of the kidneys at the time, and because kidney disease runs in my family. plus i've been told before that i had protein in my urine. but he said he checked for that and that my kidneys looked fine.
so um.. if i went to the doctor what exactly would they have to do to check for a yeast infection? i'm not really too fond of doctors....

I agree with x0x011 it's best to see a doctor but it does sound like a yeast infection.
run4life10 what type of kidney disease runs in your family if you don't mind me asking? I have kidney disease and I am in stage 3/4 kidney failure, I've also had 3 kidney operations for scarring in my ureter tubes due to the type of kidney disease I have it causes scarring in the kidneys,ureters,bladder and urethra.
I can write a book on everything I've been through (and there's a lot)!!
Right now I've been passing kidney stones and vomiting, when I am feeling better I'll write about my experience in the kidney forum.

i'm not sure what kind it is... it starts with a C i think. my mom has it, and has had numerous transplants. unfortunately they won't put her back on the transplant list due to her lifestyle... she's in the final stages.
that doesn't sound too pleasant...
I hope you feel better

some other symptoms of a kidney infection are
burning or pain with urination
unable to empty your bladder
puss and/or blood in your urine
cloudy urine or strong smelling urine
fever, chills, back pain, pan or pressure in your abdomen.
The symptoms vary on the degree of the infection. If in fact you have a kidney infection and it goes untreated it can become severe leading to kidney damage (decreased function) or kidney loss.
In my opinion you should contact your primary doctor or whichever doctor gave you the antibiotics for the UTI and let him/her know you are having pain with intercourse. You may have a completely separate health issue going on in this case you would be need to see a GYN.
They may do an ultrasound to check your urinary system including kidneys and at the same time they can check your ovaries and uterus.
I always say it's better to be safe than sorry.
I wish I had an easy answer for you.
