I have had 3 bladder infections in the past 6 months,the 1 i have right now is my fourth!!!I'm so tired of them and so foar nothing worked to get rid of them so my mom had to rake me to the doctor 4 all of them.But i don't wanna waste n-e more of her money because im sick.
My mom said drink alot of water,baking soda water,and cranbery juice.I have been doing that for a long time and nothing changed.What should I do?
I have a burning / itchy feeling 24 / 7 and I have to go to the bathroom every 2 minutes.On my past infections,Soda seemed to trigger it,I drank like 3 cans a day and I got an infection.BUT i haven't had 1 can of soda in the past 3 months!!!! My doctor first thought it was my kindeys.But then she found out there was nothing wrong with my kidneys.What is wrong and what can I do to cure it?!?!Please help i am so miserable!!

I feel for you... I had the same problem several year ago... I used to drink cranberry juice too and then I found that they make cranberry pills and I started taking those daily with my vitamen instead because I really hate the taste and it seems to work and another suggestion my doctor had was to make sure I go to the bathroom after sex, don't douche (which I didn't), check my detergents and not to use scented pads, tampons, cremes, sprays etc and wipe from front to back... turns out mine were triggered by the bubblebaths I was using, maybe you could be having a reaction to one of the chemicals which is causing an inbalance in the ph of your system and then making it easier bacteria to get a foothold and cause an infection... she said doing these things would help make sure no bacteria got up in there and thankfully I have been infection free for several years now.

Are you sexually active? I take cranberry concentrate in pills. That helps a lot. I do know a homeopathic cure that really works: Two fresh ears of corn, take off the shucks but leave the silk. Put the corn into a pan of boiling water. Cook until the corn is done, then let the water cool. Drink 1 cup of this "tea" a couple times a day.
You are seeing an OB/gyn, right? A urologist would probably be better.

They are nasty...you do need to go back to the doctor for more treatment as soon as possible.
Stop the baking soda!

No need to worry, first of you should go for urine examination so that confirm your infection, if you don't than definitely go for blood sugar so that to rule out diabetes.If UTI will diagnose, than you should take complete course of norfloxacin 10mg?kg atleast for ten days , after that again go for urine examination, if infection persits.........means you have resistant UTI than start Nitrofurointoin 5mg/kg, you definitly get rid from UTI. Secondly, if you will diagnose as diabetes than treat according to it.
