UrinaryTract Infections

I have heard of the cranberry juice like everyone else, but I have also heard of eating a serving of yogurt daily for prevention and quicker healing.

I've gotten UTI's continuously since I was a child (doctor says I'm prone to them since I only have one properly functioning kidney) so I know a lot about this topic. I'm sorry to tell you this, but UTI's will not go away without antibiotics. Cranberry Juice, lots of water, supplements, and whatever else people have suggested might help relieve some of the discomfort and speed along the recovery, but they will not clear it up completely because it is an infection, not a virus. If you haven't seen a doctor then it is possible that you may not even have a UTI. You could have a yeast infection, the symptoms are similar and if you don't get medication for a UTI right away you could end up with a yeast infection along with it as UTIs leave you more vulnerable to yeast infections. Bottom line, see a doctor, don't wait.

Most often it can not be taken care of without an antibiotic. However, drinking craberry juice can take away the pain and what a pharmasist recommended to me was to take cranberry pills which gives you a better dosage. I hope you feel better soon!

i mix cranberry juice with gingerale, they also have otc cranberry pills that work for UTI. the best thing to do thou if it has been going on a while is call the dr

drink alot of water and cranberry juice. If that doesnot help then you should go see your doc

Drinking cranberry juice is a fairly well known and natural way to both help prevent urinary tract infections, as well as help speed the recovery process when UTI develops. Just drinking two 4 ounce glasses of cranberry juice daily is often enough to both prevent UTI and speed recovery when an infection does develop. Another nutritional route that may help prevent UTI is Vitamin C supplements taken on a regular basis. Vitamin C increases the acidity level of urine which in turn helps decrease the number of harmful bacteria that may be present in your urinary tract system.

Dont mess with UTI's without doctors advice. If you drink cranberry and lots of water you will get some relief but it will not cure the infection. It can linger around for several weeks and come back to kick you, quite literally in the kidneys. Good luck, they are the most horrible things to deal with.

You really should go see a doctor. You don't want the infection to spread to your kidneys. I've had a kidney infection before. It was painful and it made me very sick. Please go to a doctor and get proper treatment.

Maybe you should check it out with your doctor first? You don't want to be consuming things that might make matter worse.

If you've been diagnosed with a UTI, either by a physician or a home test kit, there are several measures you can take to fight the infection and its bothersome symptoms, coupled with antibiotics: Drink up! Getting enough water, and supplementing your intake with cranberry juice will usually produce immediate results in relieving irritation. Get at least 1,000 milligrams of Vitamin C a day -- this, too, increases the acidity of urine. There are several over-the-counter products designed to relieve UTI symptoms (Azo-Standard or Uristat, for example), and most can be used in accompaniment with the above suggestions, as well as with antibiotic treatments. The downside is that most can be used for a maximum of two days because they contain elements that can be harmful to the kidneys and liver if taken in abundance, or for extended periods of time.

Im really not use how to get rid of a UTI with out antibotics but i have heard that cranberry juice is really good for those types of problems so you should try to drink some .

Drink lots of water and I mean lots, the more you drink the more you urinate and the more of the infection you will pass through your system.

Oh my God, I hate uti's. I buy some pills at WalGren's that help with the pain, it makes your urine red.

getting rid of uti without antibiotics is difficult. but if it is very mild than drinking lots anlots of water might help.

Some UTI's require treatment with antibiotics. Drinking Cranberry Juice helps to prevent UTI's and sometimes helps it go away. I had a UTI last year(from a polluted swimming pool in Mexico) and I bought Uristat. It comes in a tube and you just stick it in there. The pain went away in 10min. and the next day everything was gone. I would recommend buying that!

Drink lots of Cranberry Juice

Drink lots of water and cranberry juice. The cranberry juice makes the environment hostile to bacteria and the water will help with flushing

The consensus seems to be for the cranberry juice, and drinking lots of water. I, too was going to suggest the cranberry pills, and yogurt, as that is the newest information I have seen. Often if I call the Dr. the nurse will consult with him and tell me some helpful response, or they will work me in. I might have to wait awhile, but I do get seen, without an emergency room visit and correspondingly high charges. He might tell you if your cranberry, water, vitamin C and yogurt would be enough treatment until next Friday. I thhink you may want to ask just why you have this infection, an how to prevent the next one.

No! If you let it go on without treatment you could permanently harm your kidneys as it travels upwards.

Well Ayurved remedies are the best therapies to get rid of thos UTI even i had sperm infection which is cured by the use of Ayurvedic medicines
