UTI, was it caused by MDMA?
Hi... My name is Jeff and for unfortunate reasons I use a straight cath (due to previous abdominal surgeries and pee shyness in public). I was diagnosed with a UTI about a month ago and was treated with Levaquin.. It went away and I felt fine until this weekend. On Saturday I took MDMA and on Sunday I was having a fever and the feeling of the infection.. Sure enough the infection resurfaced.. I know full well that catheterizing will increase my odds of having a UTI, and i'm working on eliminating usage.. However, was the use of the Molly (MDMA) drug a contributing factor for the reoccurring UTI?

Hi.... Urinary tract infections can be painful, but you can take steps to ease your discomfort until antibiotics treat the infection. Follow these tips:
Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria.
Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder.Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.
Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.
Consult Physician...
