What is wrong with me?

Question

I go the bathroom every 10 min. It burns everytime I pee. Do you think it is a bladder infection, kidney infection, or yeast infection? What should I do? I can't afford to go to the doctor. Only serious answers ONLY. Thanks.

Answer 1

It sounds like cystitis (a bladder infection), but only a doctor can tell you for certain. You can buy Uristat or AzoStandard over-the-counter to relieve the urgency and burning somewhat until you can get to the doctor. (These products will turn your urine dark orange or reddish, so don't freak out when that happens.)

Drinking cranberry juice can help to prevent bladder infections.

Answer 2

it sounds like an urinary infection . You would need to go to a doctor asap.They would probably give you antibiotics for it.
I know many people do not like to take antibiotics these days . I was on a homepathic website and read cranberry juice is the natural treatment for it .Pure, unfiltered cranberry juice. IF you can get the cranberries and make it yourself ~ so much the better. If not, then get it from Trader Joes (without the grape juice) or a health food store.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection involving the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. These are the structures that urine passes through before being eliminated from the body.

Any part of this system can become infected. As a rule, the higher up the infection, the more serious it is.
Simple infections occur in healthy urinary tracts and do not spread to other parts of the body. They usually go away readily with treatment.
Complicated infections are caused by anatomic abnormalities, spread to other parts of the body, or are resistant to many antibiotics. They are more difficult to cure.

Answer 3

Yes, it is probably a bladder infection. Call the doctor's office and ask to speak to a nurse. They can give you usable information that might help. They might also be able to work something out for you for payment. A bladder infection can lead to a kidney infection if left unattended. Then you'll be looking at a trip to the emergency room...much more expensive! It could go away on its own eventually, but you will suffer terribly. I've been told drinking lots of concentrated cranberry juice helps. Drink lots of water as well.

Answer 4

It is a UTI. Urinary tract infection most likely.
There is an OTC (over the counter medication) that you can buy that will relieve the pain. It will turn your urine red or brown but not to worry.
If it is not too severe, drink tons of water and drink tons of cranberry juice.
It can hurt very, very much if it gets worse and can cause a little bleeding with urination.
You can also buy test strips at the drug store to see if you have an infection for sure.
If you have a regular doctor, sometimes you can call them and they will let you run by the office to leave a urine specimen so they can make sure that you do have an infection and will prescribe an anti-biotic to your pharmacy w/o having to see the doctor.
Unfortunately, if you do have a UTI that does not get better, it can lead to a kidney infection if not treated.
The only treatment is anti-biotics that you can only get if prescribed by a doctor.
Good look...........get to the drug store and get the AZO STANDARD or URISTAT for the pain in case it gets worse and DRINK water and cranberry juice till you figure out how to get to the doctor if it does not get better.

Answer 5

It's a uninary tract infection/ bladder infection - I get these all the time. For temporary relief of the burning you can buy the over the counter medication called AZO (found at any cvs, rite aid etc).

HOWEVER - you need to treat the infection. In my case I've neglected to go to the doctor and the infection spread to my kidneys (I ended up in the Emergency Room/ hospital - deleriously sick and peeing blood - you don't want that). Please go to a doctor or free local health care clinic to get antibiotics asap.

I've been able to prevent future Urninary tract infections by avoiding coffee and by not using condoms with spermacide in them (the spermacide kills the good bacteria down there and allows the bad bacteria to grow).

Answer 6

What you describe is most likely a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). You may try drinking cranberry juice (straight, not cranberry juice cocktail, or cranberry/raspberry). Also, though it seems counterproductive, drink a lot of water. If there is any pain in your lower back, then it's too late for these remedial steps, and you'll have to see the doctor. Letting any infection go on too long can cause permanent scarring of the organs, and long term effects.

Answer 7

I'd google it. If there is smelly discharge, it is probably a yeast infection. These are symptoms of a yeast infection:
*Vaginal itching
*Vaginal discharge that may be thick, white, and lumpy like
cottage cheese
*Vaginal soreness, irritation, or
burning
*Rash or redness on the skin
outside the vagina (vulva)
*Burning on urination
*Painful vaginal intercourse (sex)
You can evidently use Monistat to treat a yeast infection. It is an over-the-counter medicine, so go get some if you think that's what you have.

Answer 8

its a urinary tract infection is there a free clinic in your area ? because this does need to be treated so that it doesn't turn into a kidney infection also you can drink cranberry juice lots of it that should that should flush out your system and possibly head it off. another idea that might work though i am not promising anything is to go to plan parenthood and get it checked out they may give you free or cheaper antibiotics just tell them your symtoms don't say that you think it might be a urinary tract infection. i hope that helps

Answer 9

bladder infection, you will go to the doctor, because otherwise you get a kidney infection and go to the hospital... gotta do it.

Cranberry juice will help ease the burning, drink 3 glasses a day until you feel better FROM TAKING WHAT THE DOCTOR GIVES YOU AS A PRESCRIPTION.. :)

Answer 10

Sounds like you have a urinary tract infection. You need to see a doctor ASAP. The only cure for this is antibiotics, and the longer you wait to treat, the more painful it will be. The doctor will explain how you get this, and answer all your questions.
