Do I have a bladder infection

Ok, first things first: whatever this is, “riding it out” is NEVER the advisable option! The female pelvis is so sensitive and has so many complex organs that are very susceptible to infection. It sounds to me like you definitely …

Bladder infections are usually an urge to pee, when you really dont need to. If it is bothering you or it is painful- then consult your doctor.

Yes, it sounds like you do have a urinary tract infection. See a doctor to find out for sure. There are no home remedies. The only way to cure a urinary tract infection is to take antibiotics prescribed by a doctor. If left untreated, or if…

How long til a bladder infection turns into kidney infect?

Q: I’m pretty sure i have a bladder infection, got they symptoms since about the 13th of Oct. Low grade fever. How long does it take on average before it becomes a kidney infection? I’m hoping to go to basic training after Christmas, so i’ll have medical care there, but would rather not deal with kidney issues. Anything else i need to know? i’m not experienced with this at all. . .I’d wait because i’m one of the Americans w/o insurance. And i know it’s not an STI.

A: You really should go see a doctor right away. In fact, I think you’ve already waited too long, and waiting until after Christmas won’t be good. I don’t think there are really any ways to tell when it will become a kidney infection, but if it does, you will get really bad pain in your lower back, and if you don’t get it fixed soon, it could develop into something worse. I know it’s tough getting medical treatment without insurance (I also don’t have any) but usually when I get urinary tract infections, it’s only between $90-$120 at an urgent care plus the cost of the prescription they will give you (you can ask for a generic and get it for $4 at Walmart).For now, drink plenty of water, as it helps flush out your system. Cranberry juice also helps because it keeps the bacteria from sticking to the inside of your urinary tract, therefore you won’t get infections, but it’s used more for prevention than to cure. Until you are able to go to the doctor, go to any store like Walmart or CVS and get a package of AZO Standard. It will relieve the pain and the constant feeling of having to pee. Just be aware it turns your pee a bright orange/red color and can stain your clothes.The best way to prevent UTIs from now on is to make sure you are wiping front to back, as back to front can push bacteria into your urinary tract. Also, drink plenty of water, and go pee right after you have sex.But like I said, you need to go to the doctor ASAP!

Can a bladder infection be one of the first signs you are pregnant?

Q: When I was on the birth control pill I had bladder and yeast infections often. I’ve been off for 5 months (trying to conceive) and infection-free, but the past couple days I feel a bladder infection coming on. I’m going to the dr today, but was wondering if anyone has gotten a bladder infection at the very beginning of their pregnancy? Before I was on the bc pill I don’t remember ever getting infections, but on the pill I was very prone to them. Thanks!

A: I thought I was pregnant once because of the symptoms of my UTI, but no.. it was just a UTI. I didn’t get pregnant for nearly a year afterwards. You’re probably just getting another infection.

Can a combined yeast infection and bladder infection cause a delay in your period?

Q: I have a yeast infection and a bladder infection! My period was due around last week, but that’s also when both of my infections had started. (The bladder infection could have started earlier.) I heard that a yeast infection usually doesn’t delay your period, but what about both of them combined? I’m taking medication for both of them now as well.

A: I was always told that too. That a yeast infection never delays a period and blah blah blah blah. Ok, I’ve had about 4-5 if not more yeast infections and EVERY TIME it has delayed my period. I’m pretty convinced it does.
