How many of you women had urinary tract infections?!
Question: I have it now.It sucks.
Answers: I have it now.It sucks.
yeah. if fact, i had one once that i didn't know about. by the time i was sick enough that i noticed it (I got strong flu-like symptoms) and went to the doctor, it had progressed to the kidneys. They said if it had gone much further, It would have been deadly.
Sorry you have one, hope you are well soon.
I haven't, but drink plenty of water and cranberry Juice, it helps the one you have right now, and also prevents you from getting another one.
Get UNSWEETENED CRANBERRY CONCENTRATE from the health food store. Mix 8 ounces with a gallon of water and drink six glasses a day. Before and between each meal and at bedtime. It corrects the PH and flushes out the bacteria.
Four or five days should take care of it.
i don't have it before but i know that if you have one you should go to a doctor right now and ask for help.
I've had a few and it does suck. Just drink losts of water and make sure you see the doctor.
Women tend to get them more often because their urethra is shorter and closer to the anus. In fact, half of all women will develop a UTI during their lifetimes, and many will experience more than one.
Among adults aged 20 to 50 yr, UTIs are about 50-fold more common in women. The incidence increases in patients > 50 yr, but the female:male ratio decreases because of the increasing frequency of prostate disease.
There is potential benefit of cranberry juice consumption against bacterial infections in the urinary system. While much of the evidence is equivocal, hypotheses suggest that an effect occurs from a component of the juice competitively inhibiting bacterial attachment to the bladder and urethra, allowing the bacteria to be flushed out more easily.
Please see the web pages for more details on Urinary tract infection.
lots of times. Nice to catch them early so you don't end up with a kidney infection. Fluids, fluids, fluids Also cranberry juice or tabs if you don't like the flavor. and take all the perscribed antibiotics or you could get a rebound infection.good luck and feel better
yea i got my first one on graduation day and it sucked!!! :(
Cranberry juice is fantastic for preventing urinary infections and healing them.
Not everyone likes cranberry juice which dilutes the ph of the urine. Get yourself some 500 mg UltraCran Capsules and take one in the morning and one at night. They really help. I don't know where you live, but if there's a Shoppers Drug Mart near you, their Life Brand products makes a good one.
Cranberry juice helps alot. It may taste really disgusting but it will help. Hopefully you are on antibotics, if not, I feel your pain. I've had two UTI's before, and the last one being a couple months ago, and I called my doctor and asked for some antibotics, because I had all the symptoms, and didnt want to waste time and money and gas going down there. Anyhow, long story short, I waited a week, to get my antibotics, because my doctor kept on forgetting to call it in, because they were so busy. I was in extreme pain, and every day it got worse and worse. I hope I never have one ever again.
-- Tips: Drink lots of water, and try to avoid caffeine products and use the bathroom when you need to, instead of trying to hold it...
