There is no way to cure a UTI without antibiotics.  Cranberry juice can help flush it out, but it will not cure it.  Also drinking plenty of fluids can help, and there is AZO which is over the counter to treat any discomfort you may have, but this can only be used for a maximum of 2 days.  You really need to see a doctor for an exam and treatment.

Joe, you may have a urinary tract infection, or you may be passing stones. I think there is a couple more things it could be as well. I would suggest you see a doctor very soon. In the mean time, try to drink more water. Cranberry juice is also supposed to be very good at flushing out your kidneys. Avoid drinks with caffeine or a lot of added sugar.\n\nThis is the best advice I know to give you at this time. I hope it helps.\n\nSincerely,\nTerry

Hi :), Registered Nurse here; Sweetheart sounds like your stressing, now lets review what you've experienced and you try and CALM DOWN, your making me nervous, LOL! just kidding, hope to use a little humor to calm you down.  You've been to the Doctor twice, the second visit the doctor told you, no pregnancy.  Okay sweetie, I would say you are not pregnant.  Now for that Nasty UTI, oh gosh they can make you so very sick at your stomach, and so can the antibiotics to used to clear the UTI up.  You didn't mention the name of the antibiotic, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess perhaps, Cipro, or Septra, Bacterium. Livaquin , Bextra, could be dozens of others.  Dear, I don't think your pregnant, most physicians check the urine for pregnancy anytime they do a urine analysis, for this very reason, young productive females many times are not aware of there pregnancy.  Think you just need to keep taking the antibiotics, drink plenty of fluid, and about 3 days you should be back on the rapid road of recovery.  \nThanks for the opportunity to address your question.  I do hope this relives some of your stress.

It sounds a lot more like you have a urinary tract infection.  You should visit the doctor immediately to get your urine tested to see if A. you are pregnant or B. you have a urinary tract or kidney infection.  If you do not get this checked out soon, a urinary tract infection can develope into a kidney infection which is VERY painful.  It's simple to cure though - just get to the doctor so he/she can get you some antibiotics.

Definitely have it checked out by your DR.  Could be std, could be urinary tract infection.  You should start drinking water or cranberry juice right away.

I don't know why people have to be mean when they answer sometimes.  But I join with the other nice folks in saying, it is something you need to see a doc for.  If you have a urinary tract infection, need antibiotics.  Ditto if you have an STD.  Sometimes a kidney stone can cause a urinary tract infection, too.  But it only gets worse, ignoring it won't help.  We are really lucky nowadays that there is good treatment for this.  Feel better soon.

It could also be pus in your urine (called pyuria).  You definitely need to go see your doctor and have it checked out though.

I believe the virus is called vaginitis.  It can be cured with medication.  You could just have a mild UTI.  I would definitely go to the doctor.

you probably have a UTI. It is not a major malfunction, BUT you need to get some antibiotics so don't be scared to tell someone who can help. Women get them ALL the time. Men get them too. It is a common ailment. You will need to go to the doctor though. I don't think that what you drink has anything to do with it.

Pee a lot! Drink lots of water! That's the only way to clean it out quickly. There are also those pills that help you clean your system, but I don't know what they are called. I've never needed them.

I agree with the person who suggested Uristat.  It helps with the pain and makes you not need to pee as often.  Just don't worry that your pee will be bright orange.  However, you may need antibiotics to help your body fight off the infection.  If it doesn't seem to be getting better soon, see a doctor.\n\nWhen I first had symptoms of a UTI, I drank as much water as I possibly could.  I read that it helps flush the bacteria out of your urinary tract.  I don't know if that's true, but it did help me get over my UTI in just a few days.

It's probably a urinary tract infection. It could involve your bladder, kidneys, etc... You do not want to let this go untreated. If your kidneys are involved, it could theoretically be life threatening. Even if they're not, you need antibiotics. Call and schedule an appointment with your doctor a.s.a.p., and in the meantime, drink plenty of water, urinate frequently, take cranberry pills, and avoid sugar. \n\nIncidentally, cranberry pills are better than cranberry juice because the juice has too much sugar in it, and sugar can aggravate a urinary tract infection. You can get cranberry pills in the section where vitamins are sold.

I have been having UTI's since I was 4 years old so I can definately assure you that they are not solely caused by sex. It is a bacterial infection which could be caused by something as simple as you wiped your bottom the wrong way and e-coli transferred from your anus to your urethra. Most women will at least get a few in their life.\n\nYou should definatley tell her so she can take you to the doctors. Antibiotics are the best way to clear up a UTI.

No,its not. When you have a UTI you should take the medications prescribed by your doctor, and drink plenty of cranberry juice & water. Both of those help flush your body out.

I would have the doctor check you for a continued bladder infection and do a pregnancy test. You don't want to be on antibiotics if you are pregnant!!! I just had a bladder infection and it took 2 courses of antibiotics, herbs, and cranberry juice to clear it and even now I can tell it isn't really gone. But your other symptoms sure sound like pregnancy but other things can cause them too. Call for an appointment today to make sure on both counts.

Forget the spelling and go to see a Doctor it might just be a UTI-Urinary tract infection, or could be fibroid cysts or other things, maybe a sexually transmitted disease. However, before u jump to conclusions go find a Doctor quick.
