Re: Urinary tract infections - For Renae

[Guest guest]

Hi Renae...

I can relate to your frequent UTI infections.

I had to go to the E.R. a few weeks back, because the pain was so bad. I

was given Cipro as well, and those little tablets that make your pee turn

orange. Those are for pain only and they work very well.

I was referred to a Urologist, as the UTI infections kept coming back. I

was told that because I am loosing alot of liquid thru urination and through

my stool, I needed to drink more water. The Doc said my urine was too

concentrated and that I had too drink much more.

I will be getting an Ultra-sound for my kidney to make sure everything is

okay.

I know that I dont drink enough water, and have been drinking alot more.

If your infections keep coming back, I do suggest seeing an Urologist, and

have your urine drawn and tested.

Good Luck
