@connect4321 I was still infected when I had surgery. My doctor did 5 operations that day. The other 4 went to the orthopedics ward. I was placed in the surgical ward in quarantine. Yogurt...not pills. You want live cultures. Cipro didn't do anything for me...that's why I was on Levofloxacin. Not sure it's possible to fully recover while you're on a catheter.

More than happy to give you my number if you want to speak

Thank again for your experiences. So it sounds like you had a course of Cipro that did not clear an active infection correct? Then you were given a course of levo just prior to your procedure. Was the bug still there after your procedure and finally cleared up after your self treatment? I would very much like to speak to you about your experience. Im heading out for my appt midday with my urologist.
I will let you know how that goes.

Heres a quick rundown of my experience so far.
In march I had a turp procedure and went home with a catheter for 7 days. The day after it came out I got a high fever. Was put on Cipro for 7 days. The Cipro ended three weeks ago. The fever went away and my dr felt the bug was likely gone but I wanted to know for sure. When I got the followup culture it showed serriata was still there in large numbers but no fever, chills etc. Since taking the cipro ive had some symptoms that might be attributable to the cipro, trouble concentrating, memory issues, shakiness and oddly my voice got very soft for a time.
