PLEASE someone give me some sort of remedy!!!! Some everyday thing that is around the house to help! I have drunk so much water that I feel sick. I can't even get to the chemist to get some cranberry tablets because I will literally pee myself! this is sooo bloody annoying!
oh NO! I HATE those...ok um..if you have any of the ingredients in ural which are Sodium bicarbonate (1.76g), Sodium citrate anhyd. (0.63g), Citric acid anhyd. (0.72g), Tartaric acid (0.89g) try mixing them in some water?? i don't know how well that would work but if I had one of those I'd try anything... can you see a doc asap?
All I can think of is drinking water to flush it out. I think cranberry only helps to neutralise it doesn't it? so it doesn't sting? Don't think it cures it?
Hope it eases up for you soon. I've had it before where I just feel like I constantly need to go and it's a bit stingy... it was better by lunch time with lots of water. I've never had it turn into an actual infection.
Yeah Im drinking a crap load of water which just makes me feel so bloated and yuck ... I normally drink about 4-5 litres of water a day, but atm I am sculling it lol I've had a really bad infectino before so I know if it gets to that stage I will go to the doctor asap. At the moment it's just bloody annoying, I don't have any pains in my abdomen, it's just the constant need to pee that's frustrating!
it's called water intoxication..when your body can't metabolise the amount of water fast enough...the body can handle up to 15 litres of water in 24 hours but not if taken in a short time span.
ahhh ok... well i certainly haven't drank anywhere near 15 litres lol im just trying to flush it out kwim. Its starting to get a little better, and im being able to do longer 'wees' but its still annoying lol i hate that feeling of needing to pee but can't it's like when you have a catheder bag
cranberry juice is meant to be helpful maybe drinking so much water is making you feel worse esp cos you are constantly feeling like you need to pee. Hope you feel better soon. Oh and the ural helps with the burning
i know what you mean about just wanting to ingest so much water that it makes you pee longer..just to avoid the pain...sometimes if you find a particular position to sit/lay down it helps ...hope you can get to the doc soon
Cranberry Juice is great. I have a glass every morning as prevention for UTI's. Apparently it makes the sides of your urethra slimey, so the icky bacteria bits can't stick to it and cause problems down there - so I read.. be damned if I can find it now to show you though
I get the ocean spray one, no added sugar all a la natural, if it's a bit strong dilute with a bit of water.
Get some & GL! xx
Oh your poor thing! I have had a few of these, one where I had to be hospitalised because I left it too long and chunks of something were blocking my duct to get the urine out... SOOOOOO PAINFUL!!
Definantly go get some cranberry juice, I found that drinking 2 cups of this would almost instantly ease the pain. If you leave it too long it will get worse like mine did, I had to walk to the shops to get pills and 3 times I had to pee in peoples front yards.
It is the worst thing I have EVER experienced. Good Luck, hope you get better soon!
You poor thing having to go through a UTI, I have only ever had one, and I wont tell you how I go it, it belongs in the AO Section (ps, it's nothing discusting, just a funny story)
I had to pop in and say "I love your post heading" I might write a "dear vagina" letter to my Vagina too
LOl well after all the water i've drunk it's helped heaps and I am peeing properly now with minimal burning! Thank god!
Poopie: I know exactly what you mean babe, I had one so bad once that I fully thought my appendix was bursting. I hadn't eaten in like 3 days and I couldn't even stand up straight was just hunched over. So I called dp home thinking I was dying, went to the doctor who was an idiot, said I had a uti, but there was nothing she could do for me but give me ural and suppositries cause i couldn't poo. So 2 more days of extreme pain, drinking Ural, sticking supposetries up my bum, and finally went to my NORMAL doctor. Who took one look at my urine in the jar and said this is one of the worst uti's i've seen here's some antibiotics, the doctor the other day should of prescribed you some. Then 2 days later i was feeling on top of the world, the first doctor calls and goes 'oh your wee results came back it was just a uti, did I prescribe you any anti biotics?" im like uh no.. and hung up on her lol. But I know what you mean about it being embarrassing with the weeing! me and dp got like 2 doors from our house and i got out of the car and peed my pants in my driveway.. 22 years old and peeing my pants
Just wanted to say, if anyone gets one and they don't have cranberry juice on hand, bi-carb in water is supposed to help. (I can't see how it would help the infection, but it might stop the pee stinging). My sis is on a remote island, and she got one of these so I had to try and find her a cure.
I used to get these ALL the time!! The are really awful. I had chronic infections. As far as I know Cranberry juice is not good once you already have an infection, the bacteria feed off the sugar ( i think that it is meant for prevention) Cut out sugar while you have an infection. It is probably best to get some antibiotics, too. Have showers, not baths and I found using soap on the vagina bad for infections. Also, what worked for me was going off the pill (advised by naturopath). I have not had a single infection since (i would get one approx every 6-8 weeks). Hope you get better ASAP. Panadeine is good if you are in lots of pain as well as heat packs.
