Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Sinusitis / March 2004sinusitis
For 2nd late winter in a row Im suffering from sinusitis and prostatitis.Im urinating more frequently than usual but Im having more bowell movements at the same time, are bowell movements and prostatitis related? I feel I still have mild infection and after having just finished a round of zithromax, my bowells are wreaking havoc as they are moving so much, I feel like the infection is getting better tho.Ron Perhaps the antibiotic has killed off some of your good digestive bacteria that you need in your intestinal tract. Try some acidophilus tablets/capsules, or good yogurt with *multiple active* cultures. >>For 2nd late winter in a row Im suffering from sinusitis and prostatitis.Im urinating more frequently than usual but Im having more bowell movements at the same time, are bowell movements and prostatitis related?

I would also like to warn that if you already have an enlarged/inflamed prostate, decongestants can worsen urination problems further. Even topical decongestants like Afrin can do this because enough of it does get into your bloodstream via your nose. Ditto for common asthma bronchodilators. I had to stop using albuterol because every time I took it I was unable to pee until it wore off. I switched to Maxair which isn't as bad in that regard. -- Steven L. not only is taking excess antibiotics leading to increased breast cancer, but also to increased and more difficult urinary tract infections! Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com > not only is taking excess antibiotics leading to increased breast cancer, but > also to increased and more difficult urinary tract infections! I also heard that due to all the antibiotics, you have a greater risk of resistant infection if you're bitten by a human than if you're bitten by a pet. Because thanx to all the antibiotics we take, many of the bacteria in our mouths have become resistant. -- Steven L. I second Sue's recommendation. Murray Grossan, M.D. http://www.ent-consult.com I forgot to mention Im using allegra for the first time, could this be wreaking havoc with my bowells? Thank you this is helpful to me.Ron |
