Safe to have BBL with UTI? Will be on antibiotics for only 3 days-pls help :(--bbl scheduled this week

Question

Hi..Im scheduled to have BBL this week but have just found out I have a UTI--my doctor said to postpone and go on antibiotics for 5 days but the office where im doing the bbl said i can go on the antibiotics and they can do the surgery...is it ok to do this? Im afraid UTI plus the surgery may put me at risk for complications but dont know which way to go in this...any doctors can help advise?

The purpose of a medical clearance by Family Physician includes history physical examination, blood work, electrocardiogram when indicated by age, history or symptoms, chest X-Ray when indicated, and urinealysis and other tests as indicated. This whole process is meant to clear the patient and any abnormal findings must be corrected first before surgery,So that surgery can proceed safely with minimal possibilities of complications.If there is a urinary tract infection that is not treated and controlled before surgery this will increase the risk the infection will get worse or get infection at the surgery site.Minimizing the risks of surgery is the goal for the surgeon and patient.

I think that you want to have the infection cleared first. It is a "call" by your surgeon and your medical doctor.
