I have the same problem with UTI's!. I get them all the time!. I started drinking lots of water, even when I dind't have one, and it seemed to help!. Cranberry juice also helps!. What I do is, i drink an 8oz glass of cranberry juice every hour untill the burning stops!. Then I continue with lots of water after that!. Since I have started drinking lots and lots of water, the UTI's are less frequent now!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You need to either abstain from sex or make sure your partner is using condoms!. Peeing does not remove any bacteria from your system!. Kind of like peeing after sex does not stop someone from getting pregant!.
Does your "partner" have problems as well!? You could have an STD and/or because you self medicate you have never really gotten over the initial infection!. Explain all this to your doctor or go to Planned parenthood and ask themWww@Answer-Health@Com
