I've been taking azithral for my fever for the past couple of days, but now I'm having diarrhea and noticed some bloody mucus in my stool. Should I stop the antibiotics?

No Bacterial Growth in Urine Culture, but Presence of White Tissue-like Threads
Given the results of your urine culture and sensitivity test, the presence of small white tissue-like threads in your urine can be caused by several factors. Here are some possible explanations:
Possible Causes:
- Mucus threads: Mucus is a normal component of urine, and it can appear as white, thread-like structures.
- Urethral discharge: A small amount of discharge from the urethra can enter the urine, appearing as white threads.
- Vaginal discharge (in females)*: Vaginal discharge can contaminate the urine sample, causing the appearance of white threads.
- Fungal infections: Fungal infections, such as candidiasis, can cause white, thread-like structures in the urine.
- Other medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, like kidney stones or bladder cancer, can also cause abnormal urine appearances.
Recommendations:
- Consult a urologist or primary care physician*: Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms and determine the underlying cause.
- Physical examination and medical history*: The doctor will perform a physical examination, review your medical history, and may order additional tests, such as:
- Urine microscopy to examine the urine sample more closely
- Urine cytology to check for abnormal cells
- Imaging studies (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan) to evaluate the urinary tract
- Treatment: Based on the underlying cause, treatment may involve:
- Antibiotics or antifungals for infections
- Medications to manage symptoms
- Dietary changes or lifestyle modifications
Important Notes:
- Don't ignore symptoms*: If you notice persistent or severe symptoms, seek medical attention.
- Proper urine sample collection*: Ensure you follow proper urine sample collection techniques to avoid contamination.

Yes, it's possible for an anal fissure with a small skin tag to heal completely using ointments and medications, especially if the fissure is acute. Surgery is generally reserved for chronic fissures that don't respond to conservative treatment.
