I was given antibiotics, anti-spasmodics, and pain killers.
I hope you are feeling better now. May I ask, which drugs were you given, and how were they administered?

You actually shouldn't take antibiotics unless it's causing fever, or spreads to your kidneys. The cranberry juice thing is also a myth, not concentrated enough. What you need is concentrated cranberry extract high in PAC's(proanthocyanidins).
With the advances in cell analysis now days, it is becoming clearer than ever that our gut bacteria play a huge role in our bodies health. Antibiotics used indiscriminately(see most prescriptions), destroy cultures that can take 10 years to re-grow in our intestine.
May I ask, which drugs were you given, and how were they administered?
Penile suppository.

@ohomen171, I'm glad you're back with a new Post today, which I see as evidence that your health is recovering. I wonder if you saw my question yesterday (reprinted below):
I was given antibiotics, anti-spasmodics, and pain killers.

A Painful Visit To The Emergency Room
OK, I waited long enough for an answer to my question, so I'm giving up on that and will proceed based on what I know.
This post illustrates yet again how the American medical system is designed to maximize revenues. Emergency bills run typically around $10k, often $100k if more billing opportunities can be found or fabricated. Turtledove commented previously about some of the predatory practices hospital corporations use to monopolize medical emergency services and wield absolute pricing power.
Compare the OP to how something like this would happen in Costa Rica or Mexico. Keep in mind that Ohomen's wife is an MD, and she was with him during this event, so he got probably less abuse than the average American would. In Costa Rica or Mexico, they would go to a pharmacy and buy what they need: no Rx required. In fact, an MD would probably keep a supply at home, so they would not even have needed to leave the house. Even ordinary citizens would not have needed to go to a hospital, and could have recognized and responded to the symptoms sooner.
Ohomen 171, I don't mean to upset you, but your Post upsets me because they hurt you for their profits. They made you suffer pain. Then, they monetized your pain. Worse, they hired lobbyists to make you and others suffer the same way over and over again, precisely because they can monetize your pain. That revenue becomes power. You don't even seem to see how you have been deliberately exploited. You might see eventually, because UTIs do happen more often with age, so you may have to go through the same experience again. I hope you will see the pattern.
Ladies all of you are familiar with something that we males rarely experience-urinary tract infections. Last night I started to experience agonizing pain. First I was urinating every five minutes and then could not urinate at all. Elena diagnosed me as having a urinary tract infection. She went to Walgreen's to get antibiotics. Sadly they were closed. The pain got worse. She put me in the car and took me to the Kaiser South San Francisco emergency room. I was in unbelievable agony. The team in the emergency room went right to work. A nurse gave me a catheter so that I could urinate. A great doctor came in and confirmed Elena's diagnosis of a urinary tract infection. I was given antibiotics, anti-spasmodics, and pain killers. I was discharged still in some pain. My pain was beyond belief. Now I understand what a woman has to suffer when a urinary tract infection happens.
