My womanhood-curse strikes again...

This is but a serious matter , recurrence of UTI could mean a renal problem in the future. It is not easy to have that burning sensation , so awful and awkward . I guess you need to see a specialist for this , and you need to increase fluid intake , Refrain for those junk foods around , those things are salty and have lots of preservatives, not only junk foods but also salty and fatty foods. Please don't self medicate because it may worsen the condition. Let us listen to the specialist ,they know whats the best for the patient and they don't hide just prepare yourself for series of laboratories procedure. All the best friend !

this is common for most women, my sister also experiences such a thing.,me too i had it before, especially when i was pregnant,.i wasn't aware about it but when i was 2 months on my pregnancy i experience pain when urinating and only a small amount of urine comes out, then i just observe it after a week, everything was normal again. so i thought everything is ok,.then on 7 months of my pregnancy, on prenatal my obygyne said my tummy is hard and contracting so she asked for a lab test of urine and that was diagnosed i have UTI, so i was presribed and had antibiotics then, every month i have different antibiotics..i'm not sure now, if i still have it as i am not experiencing any symptons, but sometimes even when we take antibiotics and drink water still it is hard to go away and still recurs and comes back. i think no woman has not had any UTI in her life, it is really common for us.

Sorry to hear this. Try to avoid foods that may trigger this ailment. I haven't experienced this but I know some friends who are also suffering from UTI. Ask for other alternative remedies from alternative doctors- you need to detoxify your system to avoid damaging your kidney.

I have experienced that quite a number of times as well. I even had very painful episode that I literally bled. The pain was so intense that I needed to take some strong med.so that I can fall asleep.

oh! that is sad man! that too from childhood. God! I know it is hell. At this time, please go see the doctor as soon as you can . Drink plenty of water. Your body needs water more than anytime ever in your life. Just keep drinking a lot of water and keep cleansing your bladder. Do not delay in emptying your bladder also. Since you are drinking a lot of water, you tend to pee a lot more than usual which is natural, so just go and pee as soon as you feel like. DO not delay. It will increase the pain. Yes, cranberries and blueberries work wonders with the treatment of the UTI. Take in more of these and remember to take them even after the infection is gone. It doesn't harm you, but it will probably resist the next infection. precautionary measure. Eat pineapples. They will help you to overcome the pain and do not allow the infection to last for long.

I am sorry to hear that but I think to term it as womanhood-curse is not proper. Haha. It is just sad to hear that it started since your childhood. Did't you see any doctor yet? Because you've been asking for cranberry and yes, cranberry juice can help. Even fresh coconut juice can do but then clean water is the best. You just have to drink a lot to help clean your urinary system. And of course avoid spicy and salty foods as well as carbonated drinks. I'm talking base on my sister's experience. Now, she can handle it well.

Yes, cranberry juice is very good for UTIs. And it's good to try those kinds of preventatives because your body will eventually build up a tolerance for antibiotics and they'll have to use stronger and stronger ones. But you probably already know that. I hope you can find some relief for it.

Freak! even i suffer with this many times especially if i have not seen the toilet for many hours. Also i suffer a lot in summer with this problem. This is caused due to more heat in our body. I also heard eating a piece of jaggery and drinking water over it helps to cure this. I hate when i experience this, i feel like someone is pricking a needle in my bladder and abdomen

I have not experienced UTI at all, but one of my close friends had.. and she experienced it quite a number of times too. I was her one time when she had it, and she looked like she was really in a lot of pain. She also drank lots of cranberry juice to relive her.

Hi Jure, yes you should go to doctor for some check because you should not neglect a silly problem. Now days many girls and women are suffering from different types of female diseases. It may be a simple infection due to taking less water everyday. Yes you can drink the cranberry juice but drinking of 750 gm plain water every morning before breakfast can play a vital role to cure this disease. This water therapy can cure many other diseases as well. May God save you from serious disease.

I also have UTI eversince I was a kid. That is the reason too (I think) why I have dysmenorrhea every monthly period. :( What a bad monthly experience that I always have. I can't go up the bed when I have a monthly period before. It has been how many years since I was operated in my uterus. They removed something in it. I don't know about cranberries but what I've heard is about buko juice can help. I hope you will feel better soon. It is hard to move and do things when you're not feeling well.

Yes it does help but it won't prevent it it will help lower the amount of time and also when you do go pee sit longer on the toilet and tried to make sure there is no more pee in there because if there is any left over it will cause another affection. Lots of women get them more after having children because the bladder is week. Which means do some kegals to help with those muscles that will help.

I'm sorry to hear about your condition, and you're right you should immediately go to the doctor to start on the treatments ASAP. It is painful and very uncomfortable, I know because I had it too. Thank goodness that I didn't get it again. And yes, the doctor listed cranberry juice and more water as part of my diet when I was being treated. Hope you get well soon.

I had this 2 years ago and I really freaked out because for a short period of time there's blood in my urine. I called my mother and she bought me an antibiotic pill,and she let's me drink coconut juice most of the time. By the next day, I was urinating normally, everything was fine then.

Just avoid Spicy food and use to have plain water at regular intervals
