Common Questions and Answers about Urinary infection and cranberry juice

infection

Avatar m tn Drink plenty of water, cranberry juice and avoid citrus juices and caffine. Then go to the Dr and get antibiotics if it is an infection. It's something that can be treated easily, but it won't get better by ignoring it. You don't want it to spread to your kidneys.
9771234 tn?1405793808 Many people mistake a bacterial infection and other infections as a yeast infection, treat it as a yeast infection and see no results. Please don't just go buy an over the counter cream with out consulting with your doctor or midwife.
Avatar f tn Has anyone got a urinary tract infection during pregnancy? Was it uncomfortable and a little painful at times? once treated did the uncomfortablness go away? I think I have one I have a drs appt in 4 days is it safe to wait until then?
1670226 tn?1334252274 Yes, I've taken those cranberry capsules. I didn't have any problems with them, but you might want to talk to your doctor about it. I tend to have recurring UTI's, which are much worse when I don't stay hydrated and keep my kidneys flushed, so if you're doing that, hopefully, you won't have an issue with infections.
Avatar n tn Cranberry juice helps fight off urinary tract infections, and sometimes can get rid of one that you already have, but it's best to go to the doctor and get it treated. Then drink cranberry juice to try to prevent bacteria from forming.
Avatar f tn If you have a urinary track infection, you should keep drinking alot of cranberry juice, but if it wont go away go to the doctors to get a pill for it if you let it pro long then it will get worse, or it could be gull stones.
Avatar n tn Lemon and cranberry juice will help with urinary tract infections as a preventative in susceptible individuals but will not cure an active infection. Your dog's urine should really be checked for infection with a urinalysis. Please bring a fresh urine sample to your vet for analysis. You may not even have to bring your dog in for an exam if the urine is positive for a simple urinary tract infection (an infection without crystals). The vet can simply give appropriate antibiotics.
667829 tn?1297978123 Normally I would start power drinking cranberry juice to pre-empt this problem but Cranberry juice just sends my blood sugar CRAZY high (gestational diabetes). Anyone have any other natural remedies so I don't have to go to the docs for a rx?
Avatar f tn thank you it does help i been drinking a tee that my mom made me i will be trying the cranberry juice today and i also have the urge feeling to urinate but i really dont have to when i go pee
Avatar f tn Drink some cranberry juice or take cranberry tablets. No harm to the baby and very common. I've never bothered with a prescription.
Avatar m tn You can try drinking lots and lots of cranberry juice (I actually cured my UTI with cranberry juice) and water for a couple of days and see if it gets better. I am talking about two or three liters a day for a couple of days. If it doesn't work you will need to get tested.
Avatar f tn Drink pure cranberry juice like they said but...most women get a urinary tract or bladder infection due to wiping wrong (Always wipe front to back), and/or having sex & not going pee after. A lot of people do not know it but if u wash ur hands before & after going pee (dont quote me on exact %) i heard it decreased you chance of getting any infection, (esp bladder or a common cold) by 50%.
Avatar n tn Cranberry Juice drink A LOT OF IT and stay away from everything else acidic and stay away from antibiotics they can strip your system and sometimes make it worse, also make sure to drink insane amounts of water and if possible take cranberry pills as well... Don't have acidic fruits coffee pops or anything overly spicy as this will make it worse.
Avatar n tn I would recommend seeing a doctor to confirm this but one thing that usually helps with a UTI is drinking lots of Cranberry Juice as well as lots of water. I think I had one before a long time ago and I just drank Cranberry Juice and I was fine but if it's bad enough or keeps hurting, please see a doctor so as not to jeopardize your fertility or your health in general. Take care!
Avatar n tn I've finished my bactrim for my urinary tract infection, so why do I still have the burning when I urinate?
Avatar f tn Just keep drinking the cranberry juice until you can be seen. SOMETIMES the cranberry will cure the infection.
Avatar f tn Had a call from my midwife today to let me know the results of my urine test and they show I have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I've had no symptoms but she said I need some antibiotics. Has this happened to anyone else, should I be worried?
327668 tn?1224792350 t I waited a week thinking water and cranberry juice would make it go away. I ended up getting pylneophritis and had to be on IV getting anitbiotic fluids. My doctor was upset saying that an untreated UTI can cause a miscarriage especially in early pregnancy. So take care of that ASAP.
Avatar f tn In some cases something as simple as drinking fresh cranberry juice and reinforcing your immune system with vitamin C and D3 can be sufficicient to solve the problem. In other cases medication may be necessary. Thus, it is prudent to see a physician as soon as possible and follow his/her recommendations for treatment.
Avatar f tn If you want to try the cranberry juice route, you have to drink the Cranberry juice not the mixture type like don't drink the apple cranberry. Also, drink lots of water. It will take more days to get rid of it than an antibiotic. It doesn't sound like you are using contraceptives or protection. If not I would if I were you unless you want to get pregnant and I also would worry about an STD unless you know your partner well. Just saying since you didn't mention much.
2181422 tn?1400511380 Is it only the red cranberry juice that helps with yeast infections and all that or does the white have the same benefits? I don't have one but I figure doesn't hurt to drink it..
Avatar f tn It sounds like you may have a urinary tract infection. One home remedy is to drink a gallon of pure cranberry juice - the kind that doesn't have sugar (high fructose corn syrup). These are not often sold in regular grocery stores anymore; you'll have to look for it in a gourmet or health-nut store. Sometimes you can only find it in concentrate. Drink about a gallon of pure cranberry juice or until it stops burning when you pee.
Avatar n tn Cranberry juice and water are what the drs tell you to drink, cranberry is good for urinary/kidney health whether you have an infection or not. But you do need to go to the dr asap and get some antibiotics.
Avatar n tn As an at-home treatment, increased water-intake, frequent voiding, the avoidance of sugars and sugary foods, drinking unsweetened cranberry juice, taking cranberry supplements, as well as taking vitamin C with the last meal of the day can shorten the time duration of the infection. Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices and caffeine until your infection has cleared. Please let me know if you may have any other queries. Regards.
1422878 tn?1284584593 s and the figured out it was my diet i had to many dark drinks, fried foods, and lack of water. I did buy azo cranberry pills and that helped but cranberry juice and lots of clear liquids with a healthy diet should help as well. i hope you feel better.
Avatar f tn pure cranberry juice with low grams of sugar...blueberry juice as well it does the same thing and taste better. Also drink a lot of water, urinate often, and reduce your sugar intake. I have also heard that you can add a teaspoon of baking soda to water and drink it, but I have never tried this myself..you may want to do more research on that one before you try it to make sure its what you want to do.
