Urinary Tract Infection

[SageMother]

I suggest going to a doctor to find out what the UTI is. It could be chlamydia. Whatever the bacteria is, if it returns then you probably need to smack it around with some big guns! LOL

I maybe experience this once a year if there happens to be a dramatic change in my system. I drink a lot of cranberry juice so this helps with preventing this from occurring.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing and have been making sure to do that. About how old were you when you would them often?

I'm positive that it is not Chlamydia. I've only been sexually active with one person, and both of us have been tested. Thanks!

I get maybe one or two UTIs a year. They're terrible, aren't they? I usually end up going to the doctor for antibiotics.

I get UTI's every now and then, too, and try to take care of them as soon as possible. Usually AZO will help right away. I had gotten a really bad kidney infection once and was told that I must have had a urinary tract infection and didn't treat it. I was really surprised at that, because there is usually no mistaking it when it comes.

I think you should Try to 'dab' rather then swab after you have been to toilet. Also trial to wear cotton fabric underwear which is a bit misplace fitting. Make certain to proceed to lavatory often (holding it in can make it worse) and finally don't let that "area" get very cold
