Answer 1

If a UTI is in its very early stages you can try to stop it from developing any farther by drinking lots of water and adding in acidic drinks and foods, like cranberry juice, blueberries, tomatoes. These foods will make your urine more acidic and may be able to kill off the bacteria, and coupled with the water, which will make you void more often.
However, this very well may not work and you may need to go to the doctor and get an antibiotic. Don't let these infections go too long, because the bacteria can travel from your bladder to your kidneys and you could end up in the hospital with a very painful kidney infection.
If you can't afford to go to the doctor, check out a free women's clinic in your area or Planned Parenthood.

Stopping A Uti Early

"You may be able to cure an early urinary tract infection (UTI) if you act promptly when you have the first symptoms of a UTI, such as pain and burning with urination. Home treatment steps that may stop an infection from progressing include:

Drinking lots of water, along with cranberry juice, especially during the first 24 hours after your symptoms appear. This will help make the urine less concentrated and wash out the infection-causing bacteria. This may alter some of your body's normal defence mechanisms, but most doctors recommend drinking a lot of fluids when you have a UTI.
Urinating frequently and completely to empty your bladder each time.
To relieve pain, take a hot bath or lay a heating pad over your genital area. Never go to sleep with a heating pad in place."

Answer 4

if its severe you have to see your doctor for your proper medication. i think the doctor will prescribe you an antibiotic either qinolones or cloxacillin which are available in drugstores. but remember you have your prescription in buying such medicines. but if your uti is not that severe try to drink a lot of water everyday. avoid eating salty foods and stop drinking alcohol, colas, coffees or anything which has a caffeine. and try to drink cranberry juices, it can help prevent E.coli bacteria (the most common cause of urinary tract infections(UTI)). for your info, there is a preparation of a cranberry in a capsule. i just dont know if you have available in your place. the brand is CRAN UTI. just search in the internet where you can buy it. good luck.

I've tried the cranberry juice for years, never worked. I forget where I read it, but put 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and about half a cup of orange juice, mix it real good, and drink it. It will take it away in like 5 minutes. I love this stuff. You will get use to the taste. IT REALLY WORKS!!! I wish somebody would of told me about it years ago, instead of being in pain for the last 7 years.

Answer 7

Bacterial UTIs can involve the urethra, prostate, bladder, or kidneys. Symptoms may be absent or include urinary frequency, urgency, and dysuria; lower abdominal pain; and flank pain. Systemic symptoms and even sepsis may occur with kidney infection. Diagnosis is based on analysis and culture of urine. Treatment is with antibiotics.
You can take steps to reduce your risk of urinary tract infections. Women in particular may benefit from the following:

Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Cranberry juice may have infection-fighting properties. However, don't drink cranberry juice if you're taking the blood-thinning medication warfarin. Possible interactions between cranberry juice and warfarin can lead to bleeding.
Urinate promptly when the urge arises. Avoid retaining your urine for a long time after you feel the urge to void.
Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
Empty your bladder as soon as possible after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.
Avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra.

Answer 8

You can: first think, get rid of that ciggie butt, it slows down the healing rate considerably and, it doesn't look that good.

Start drinking about four ounces of cranberry juice every day, eat more yogurt. More fresh vegetables and less red meat and pork. More fish, stay away fro McDonald's.

It will take longer but, it will work, you do need anti-biotics tics.

Answer 9

Where are you from? If from the US, it may be cheaper to take a flight to London or Toronto, go to a doctor there, and fly back after having some fun in the city, of course.

Answer 10

if cranberry juice or azo doesn't work you gotta go to the doctor
