I'm guessing i have a Urinary Tract Infection - how serious is this?!


Question: I'm guessing i have a Urinary Tract Infection - how serious is this!?
I'm basically completely self diagnosed myself with a urinary tract infection - I have all the symptoms:
Frequent urges to urinate!.
Only urinating a little at a time!.
Little blood in my urine!.
A little pain on my left side!.

I don't know what to do!.
It's midnight so I can't exactly just get up and go to the doctor right now!.

Are they really serious!?!?!? Should I be worried!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I had the same symptoms!. I went to my doctor!. They gave me medicine after I urinated in a cup and ran tests on it!. I'd go to the doctors because with those symptoms,my doctor told me it was a bad one!. I started taking cranberry supplements, and drinking a lot more water, so I do not get one again!. They're not serious, they're very common, actually!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can get Septic, in other words, your blood can get poisoned by the bacteria!. Remember, your kidneys filter your blood!. If you have a bacteria in them, it ends up in your blood!. You will need to call the doctor first thing!. If they can't see you, ask them if you can pick up a prescription to get you going, or at least come in for the urinary test!. You need to get going on the antibiotics!.

Cranberry juice is very acidic and it starts to kill the bacteria, but nothing is quite as perfect as an antibiotic!. Anyway, here is cranberry info!.

Does drinking cranberry juice really prevent or treat urinary tract and bladder infections!? This is one food source that has a history of use as a natural remedy as well as traditional scientific research to back up the claim!. In studies, people who drank cranberry juice on a consistent basis had fewer urinary-tract infections than those who did not!. The effect was greatest in people who experience recurring urinary-tract infections!. The way cranberry juice works probably has to do with compounds called proanthocyanidins!. These compounds inhibit bacteria from attaching to the walls of the urinary tract, and thus prevent the infection from developing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When i was little and i got urinary tract infections, i went to the doctor and got medicine for it!. Some reason i loved the doctors even though i hate needles and stuff!.!.!.>!.>
Also drink cranberry juice and a lot of liquids!.My dad used to get me craisins, which are basically dried cranberry, similar to raisins!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, drink a lot of water and 100% cranberry juice!. (not cranberry juice cocktail) You can get a pill called AZO from the store too!. Because you see blood I would probably go to the doctor (if you have insurance) just to get some Penicillan (think i spelled it right) It will knock it out faster but you will be fine either way because its not that serious!.

P!.S!. you should never Self Diagnose yourself!. It may not even be a UTI so especially since you see blood I'd go make sureWww@Answer-Health@Com

Nope, most of the time, they are not very serious!. What you want to do is drink tons of real cranberry juice!. They are suppsed to make UTIs (urinary tract infections) go away!. you can run to the store right now, and get a head start now,or do it first thing in the morning!. However, if this doesn't work within a week, then make sure you see a doctor just incase it's something serious!. Hope that helps!

Since it is a self-diagnosis it could be the UTI or Kidney stones or anything else!. It's not life threatening, and the only thing that will get you to go to ER is gonna be pain if it happens to be kidney stones!.

drink lots of water to help clear your tract!.

good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

not serious at all!. just dont hold it when u have to pee, and drink lots!. i used to have a recuring problem so i would go to the hospital ever month, all they did was check on me and give me antibiotics!. also, it is gone now, just listen to what the doctor says and it will go away fast!. :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds to me like more of a kidney stone whih if that is the case you don't NEED to go in however you may wake up in massive amounts of pain!. If it is a UTI drink cranberry juice it will help clear it up!. Good luck to you!!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

If left untreated for a long time it can turn into kidney infection/disease!.

I'd suggest drinking A LOT of water and/or cranberry juice until you can get to a doctor and get antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

there's an over the counter product called cystex, take 3 and call me in the morning!. usually works if not you need to see a doctor for antibiotics!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you are BLEEDING YOU MUST SEE A DOCTOR! If it was just the other symptoms then cranberry juice does the trick but blood isn't good the doctor will give you medication!. you wont die trust me!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
