yes, i've experienced urinary tract infection many times. i think it could be due to stress also, and not sufficient intake of water. i've read that cranberry juice helps in relieving this kind of infection.

Thanks for your comment, you know where I am comming from, I do drink alot of water about a case of 32 bottles a week, but I have not tried the cranberry juice as of yet, haven't been out to buy some yet, but I was also told about cranberry pills that you can take everyday, which is good, if you end up not liking the taste of cranberry juice!!! I do have alot a stress in my life also, these days, and I know it can make you very sick, I have ended up in the hospital before for it for weeks at a time, your body just shuts down, and it can't fight anything. So maybe this did have something to do with it!!! Thanks again!!

I would suggest seeing your doctor for this. Prepare a list of questions and ask your doctor. Your doctor should have answers to most of the questions. Try answering those questions yourself but searching online. Compare answers with the doctor. Getting answers from here might not be reliable. Seeing a doctor would help ease the mind.

I am not sure why you get them. But a good way to prevent them and get rid of them is to drink cranberry juice or take a cranberry vitiam every day.

Thank you for your response, I will do a search on this, and let you know, for now its gone, but the medication has made me very sick. But I can't stop taking it, unfortunately it was the only one they could prescribe for a bladder infection that was severn as mine.

Once. Drink acidic drinks like cranberry juice because bacteria don't live well in acidic environments. Plus cranberry juice helps clean out your urinary tract. I also suggest you see a doctor because if this infection gets worse...it could spread to your kidneys and that is not good..u may need to go on an antibiotic regimen also. Good luck with that ^.~

Ya! Cranberry juice is the best medicine for this. I have read that cranberry juice any kind of infection from the kidney and it also protects your teeth from bacteria by forming preventive layer over the teeth
