Is there a connection between high sugar levels and urinary infection?

Buchi ! Iam an expert in UTI and have suffered in many ways and have had continuous dosage of antibiotics for a year, undergone cystocopy, subsequent dilatation and still am suffering if I do not take proper precautions. So, let me tell you what to do. 1]For the problem in hand-- ask your friend to drink not less than 22 glasses of water per day along with the antibiotics, whatever they are. sometimes, immediate relief would be seen with intake of antibiotics but this would be temporary because it is called symptomatic relief. For this relief to continue , the proper dose of antibiotics should be taken. The absolutely proper medicine will be revealed only in culture. Secondly, now that three days are over, and the problem persists, the first thing she should do is get her urine examined for a routine test [deposits].If there are more than 6 to 7 pus cells, she should give her urine for culture immediately. Ask her to take citralka [3 tablespoons per day --1 tb spoon in one glass of water per dose]

Regarding infection and sugar levels, any infection would thrive in a patient with higH sugar.But, 3 days is too soon to get scared. She has still not been properly treated for the UTI. After culture an d proper dose of antibiotic ,if the infection persists , she can undergo further tests. THere is no need to panic. But, check if she had plenty of water along with the medicine she first took.

People who have diabetes get urinary tract infections easily. I dont know why. I havent been tested for diabetes but I do eat a ton of junk food. I crave it so bad its so hard to resist it. I am plagued with chronic urinary tract infections that started 7 years ago when I was pregnant with my daughter. Antibiotics will make your friend feel better after 3 days but the infection will not totally be gone. Each day she takes the antibiotics she will feel a little better. Her using public restrooms really probably would not ever cause her to get a uti.

Hi Urinary infection has nothing to do with public toilets. if the liquid waste gets deposited in the body instead of flushing out, then it will cause urine infection, as far as my knowledge is concerned. Ask her to take lot of fluids in the form of water, juice, soups, etc so that all the liquid waste will be flushed out besides ask her to consult a RMP. Probably he may advice to take Citrasol or Citralaka and for acute infection , prescribe some antibiotic or even injection. I do not know whether higher suger lever has got something to do with this problem. Anyway wishing for a speedy recovery for your friend

Buchiji Yes there is a connection between high blood sugar level in women and getting UTI, my wife got it several times though she did not use public toilets for months.. hope this solves your querry.. Thank you so much for this post. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.

I had a urninary tract infection a while ago, and high sugar or protein levels can cause the infection. this is not true in every case. My mom got a kidney infection, and the dr. said that was probably from over working the kidneys with too much sugars and not enough water in the system to dilute it.
