Can I take phenazopyridine for UTI symptoms one week before BA?

Question

I am having UTI symptoms, however, after visiting urgent care I was told I do not have an infection. They proscribed Cipro anyway, and phenazopyridine for the pain. My surgery is one week away. Is it ok for me to take?

Vincent N. Zubowicz, MD · Answer

In general it should not be a problem. However, situations like this should be discussed with your plastic surgeon. Active infection should be eliminated before elective cosmetic surgery.

Contact your surgeon office and inform him or her of all medications you are taking. It will be your chosen surgeons decision. Good luck. Dean Vistnes.

I would ask your surgeon what his opinion is.  I will not operate on a patient with an ongoing infection, especially if I am inserting implants.  If you do not have a UTI and are experiencing painful  or frequent urination, you  really need a full urinary tract work up before elective cosmetic surgery.
