it could be a UTI it could also be interstitial cystitis (IC) it could be a lot of different things. If it is a UTI you need to be treated ASAP, so please go call you clinic or doctors office and get an appointment to be seen.

Antibiotics are the typical treatment for urinary tract infections. Which drugs are prescribed and for how long depends on the type of bacteria found in your urine when the doctors test it.
Half of all women will develop a UTI during their lifetimes, and many will experience more than one. This is a common thing for doctors to see in women, but letting it go for 2 weeks is not a good thing. At this point if you do have a U.T.I, you'll need some antibiotics because of the risk of the infection spreading to the kidneys.
Drinking Canberry is good for your urinary track as well but will not get rid of it alone.

You need to go to the doctor before it get worse. The bacteria can travel to your kidneys. You need antibiotics! All you have to do at the doctors office is urinate in a cup. Your local drug store will have pills that can relieve the pain BUT the infection will not go away! And drink lots of d-mannose or water. Good luck!

I am one who frequently gets UTI's due to a short ureter. I know all the tricks. Some will tell you to take large doses of concetrated d-mannose . Cleartract acts as an analgesic, however, this is only before you start having symptoms. Once symptoms of UTI start, it is too late and d-mannose will actually add to the acid content of your urine and cause a burning. I use Cleartract standard (sold over the counter at most drug stores) or Uristat. It gives pretty immediate relief, but it is only temporary relief. It will not "cure" the UTI. It will turn your urine VERY orange, so don't freak out. You still really need to go to the doctor. Don't be embarrassed. UTI's are very, very common in women. They are going to make you pee in a cup, put a tester stick in it and probably give you a prescription for an anti-biotic, which if you been having symptoms for two weeks, it sounds like you need the meds. There should be no need for a pelvic exam. You really shouldn't go too long with symptoms b/c it can lead to a bladder infection or can cause scarring of the ureter which will make you predisposed to incontenence (urine leakage) later in life. Nothing you really want to deal with.

You have to see your doctor! They usually just ask for a sample that's all. You go in a private bathroom They will check it right away. If it turns out you have an infection, the prescription they give you will end misery PRONTO! Those remedies they sell at the pharmacy don't cure it. Azo has a dye in it that can ruin your clothing.

well the first thing u can do is go to rite aid or any other pharmacy and buy a home test so at least you will know if you have UTI or not. ask for the Cleartract home test strips as I remember they go around $9-$10. If you test positive you need to contact your doctor (and you shouldn't be embarrassed) but in the mean time to treat your symptoms you can use Cleartract standard and drink a lots of d-mannose .

You have some interesting symptoms. For a classic UTI, you will feel urgency and frequency in urination. For me, it gets worse very quickly and peeing is extremely painful and sometimes bloody.

There are a couple of home remedies you can try. I've managed to kick one UTI this way, but only once. If you have a good immune system, your body can kill the bacteria. Drink tons of water to flush your bladder out. TONS of water. Also, d-mannose (NOT d-mannose cocktail) has natural antibiotic properties which kill bacteria in the kidneys and bladder. I like 100% d-mannose by Ocean Spray.

You should know that if you go to the doctor all they will ask you to do is pee in a cup and test for the bacteria. UTI's are very routine. Also, if you tell your OBGYN or family practice doctor that you're prone to getting UTI's, they can write this down in your record. That way, if it happens again, they can call a prescription in for you without your having to visit the doctor every time.

If it keeps up, though, PLEASE GO SEE A DOCTOR! This will spread to your kidneys and beyond if you don't take care of it!

look up urinary "frequency"….also known as polyuria..you have to pee constatntly..some times it can be caused by a UTI which can only be treated with antibiotics..sometimes over active bladder…and many other things..never be embarrased to take good medical care of yourself!!!

drink plenty of water and at least an 8 ounce glass of d-mannose that is sweetened with fruit s not sugar everyday.
steer clear of white sugar and white bread for as long as you can.
wear cotton underwear .
and weird as it may seem- drink a full glass of water before you take a hot shower it'll help you void more easily.
It could be a stone . so just eat lightly and do the above- you should feel better in 3 days.
