Urinary Tract Infection

[kuan]

Lately keep getting urinary tract infection. Got infection in May, Jun and Aug last year and again last week. So sad:wecry:....everytime its very painful10:...go GP he would prescribe antibiotic and some medicine to clear urine. He said such frequency is no cause for concern but i am still very worried. Con't know what's the real cause also - could be little water intake, control urine, sex.....

Anyone got similar experience before??

i got UTI b4 too... the main reasons for my case was: too lil water intake and too 'busy' to go toilet, kept hold my urine.

please drink more water and go to the toilet when u need to =)

Actually, frequency of sex is not the issue - it's hygiene. Advisable to get your partner to clean his bro before sex and do the same for yourself before AND after (if you're not conceiving). Then simple things like getting breathable undies, wiping from front to back, as well as taking more cranberry juice - those help prevent UTI. And apollo has some good tips as well.

i used to get it too, pretty often and pretty bad (sometimes got tinge of blood), and i had it because the sex was a little deep (missionary but girl is curled), it sort of hits the bladder tube and bacteria can enter. And i always feel the worse when no doctor is available, so i take water and baking soda. it works for awhile lah, but still need to see doc at the end.

its weird that i don't get it now that i'm pregnant. *touch wood*

ya i get it quite often.
U need to tell dr to do a urine culture to see which bacteria it is since u get it often.
Coz some antibiotics may not be not effective.
Also drink lots of water,avoid spicy food,dont hold bladder, n wipe fr front to back..n pee b4 n after sex to flush out any bacteria

I find that my UTI used to be related to the weather. If weather was too hot, I'd get my UTI. So I'll gulp down cool water.

My doctor advised:

- Cotton panties
- Plenty of fluids
- Pee whenever you feel the need to, even if it's 1 drop during your UTI.
- Pee after you have intercourse
- Wipe front to back after you pee

My maid oso got UTI 2 weeks ago, she feel like vomitting, giddy..........

Doc said could be due to she tahan her urine, no drink enough water, after urine no wipe clean, or wipe from back to front instead of front to back......

Saw from website, can use yogurt as home remedy, can do a search........

There's a test kit in the market to detect UTI. Like a pregnancy test kit. Fast results. You may want to standby some Citravescent at home too. Take one sachet while waiting for doctor helps to relief.

i working as a clinic assistant some of the ladies patients got UTI.

DUE TO:

-No Drinking much water as plain water
-Holding urine for too long that hurt ur bladder
-After urine never clean or never use thise special wipe to keep clean
-During period time pad wear for long hours
-Having sex with husband before he clean his "friend"
-Never soak ur panty with hot water or never wash clean
-Toilet bowl sit dirty and never clean after urine

basically this is all the cases that cos UTI....

I experienced UTI during Dec last year. It was pretty frightening sight when i peed blood for the first time. went to see doc and she prescribed me antibiodics too. It lasted for a week. Doc said that if it happens a few more times in future, its best to go for a check up just in case our kidney may grow some kind of stones or something. :err:

 

[Iamsweetiepie]

I have UTI for the last few years. It comes and goes and I found that it always happens the day after ML. I tried drinking lots of cranberry juice, baking soda (yeeks!), drinking hot water, and of course antibiotics. I am trying out D-Mannose recently, let's see if it works!

Natural remedy for UTI : cranberry juice.

My girl oso got last week, feed her twice a day the craneberry juice, she was cured.

hope ur ok by now, beside cranberry juice, you can oso consider taking "bai guo" (think is called Ginko nuts), you can buy those can one, think is about $1 for mili brand.

Heard tat taking "bai guo" can help to improve urine passing, like can help to reduce the "urge" to want to go toilet again and again shortly...........

but think dun need to take so much, so what I do is I use it to cook barley, ginko and bean curb skin dessert for the family, everyone can drink. As for the barley, if can, try to use China (big) barley.

hope it helps.

you tried to eat some "bai guo" lah, really can help abit, btw, do you drink alot of kopi with milk or tea-c etc. I last time found that if I drink alot of such drinks, I then to cannot hold my bladder, these few days, u may want to consider to drink only plain water or original fruit juices.......

last time when I switch to fruit juices for few days and cut down on kopi and tea, the problem was eased.

Hope it helps.

I suffer from chronic uti's, so I not only take over the counter uti medication whenever I think I am getting one, but I take daily the Cystex Urinary Maintenance medication. It keeps everything in balance and I've seen a drastic decrease in the number of uti's I've experienced since using it on a regular basis. Cystex has multiple products that can be utilized otc and their site is actually super informative when it comes to urinary infections, it shed some light on what was going on for me
