yesterday i noticed a burning feeling around my urethra when i urinated. this morning, there was no burning but my urine smelled like latex. this happened to me last year however i just ignored it and it seemed to go away by itself in about a week. i probably got it from not urinating after sex or from wearing tight clothing. right now i am drinking light cranberry juice because thats all i had. should i take a high dosage of vitamin c? and what is AZO? any other tips regarding UTIs would be great thank you.
also, does wearing thongs have anything to do with UTIs. i heard thongs arent the smartest type of underwear to wear however... PANTY LINES. thanks again

PhenAZOpyridine (Pyridium) is a drug that reduces the pain of a UTI. It is also a dye that colors the urine an intense orange-red. It alleviates the symptoms, but does not treat the bacterial cause of the infection.
Burning upon urination is a sign of UTI, and frequently is seen after sex. Your safest course would be to see your doctor for a urine culture. Low grade UTI's occasionally reflux up to the kidneys, causing gradual insidious damage. It's a condition much more common in women.

Oh yeah I hear ya. Drink plenty of water get some full 100%C cranberry juice and drink it, I have not heard of vitamin c for urinary track infections, But my daughter has used the AZO and she says it works you get it by the feminine products.Always use the bathroom both my daughters and my Godson got one from not "going after doing"I have heard of tight clothes causing them so I guess thongs could be a problem just change them more often that might work.
