The most common cause of UTI are bacteria from the bowel that live on the skin near the rectum or in the vagina which can spread and enter the urinary tract through the urethra. \n\nOnce these bacteria enter the urethra they travel upwards causing infection in the bladder and sometimes other parts of the urinary tract. \n\nSexual intercourse is a common cause of urinary tract infections because the female anatomy can make women more prone to urinary tract infections. During sexual intercourse bacteria in the vaginal area is sometimes massaged into the urethra by the motion of the penis.\n\nAnother cause of bladder infections or UTI is waiting too long to urinate. The bladder is a muscle that stretches to hold urine and contracts when the urine is released. Waiting very long past the time you first feel the need to urinate causes the bladder to stretch beyond its capacity which over time can weaken the bladder muscle. When the bladder is weakened it may not empty completely and some urine is left in the bladder which may increase the risk of urinary tract infection or bladder infection. \n\nAntibiotics cure typical bladder infections. Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry pills can reduce your chances of getting a bladder infection or help cure it if you already have one.

i assume you mean macrobid (nitrofurantoin generic name)......it is used for UTI's but ONLY if the patient is greater than 12 years old.....i assume it would be pretty difficult to assume your 4 y.o. has a UTI anyways....but it is not safe to give to a young child. call your pediatrician for a drug that is safer.

Typically cranberry juice and water are to Prevent UTIs from reoccuring. You need an antibiotic to get rid of it, then follow up with more cranberry juice and water. There's no set amount to drink, if they keep coming back, increase your intake.\n\nAs for soap, I think Dove soap is really gentle on the skin but anything without perfumes should work for you. \n\nGood luck!

Bladder and UTI's can pretty much be the same thing and the best way to avoid these is to drink plenty of water. Sodas and other sugary drinks can aggravate these areas. \nAlso if you are sexually active make sure to urinate both before and after sex to rid the area near the urethra of any bacteria. During sexual intercourse, the penis can introduce bacteria into the vulva and the act of intercourse can push this into the urethral opening and/or help introduce bacteria that are already present in the vulva into the urinary tract, possibly causing a urinary tract infection or bladder infection. Urinating both before and after intercourse can help prevent this.\n\nYour kidneys also need a plenty of water, so not too many sodas and sugary drinks!\n\nYeast Infections can be caused by a number of things including antibiotics. But one huge thing is wearing cotton panties. Let your goods breathe and don’t coupe them up in silky underwear and tight pants/jeans too often. The female body produces natural bacteria, but hot, damp places can breed the not so natural kind!\n\nFor all of the above, avoid too many bubble baths (or anything in the bath for that matter). Don’t let the manufactures fool you into buying all of the feminine hygiene products either. The fact is that soap and water are all you need to keep yourself clean, and these sprays, wiping cloths, deodorants, douches can throw off your pH balance and cause many of these problems/infections. Always remember to wipe from front to back!!!

Prevention\nThe following are a list of things that can be done to avoid a urinary tract infection. As many people, especially women, experience recurrent infections some commonly recommended preventative measures are\n\nHaving adequate fluid intake, especially water. \nNot resisting the urge to urinate. \nTaking showers, not baths, or urinating soon after taking a bath. \nPracticing good hygiene, including wiping from the front to the back to avoid contamination of the urinary tract by faecal pathogens. \nCleaning genital areas prior to and after sexual intercourse. \nFor sexually active women, and to a lesser extent men, urinating within 15 minutes of sexual intercourse to allow the flow of urine to expel the bacteria before specialized extensions anchor the bacteria to the walls of the urethra. \nIt has been advocated by some, that cranberry-juice would decrease the incidence of UTI, by generating some metabolite inhibiting the adherence of certain pathogens (eg. E. coli) to the epithelium of the urinary bladder.

My answer would depend on if you are male or female.  I will assume female since we get them much more frequently than men. UTI is technically caused by a bacteria. However, rough or frequent sex can cause it(it can tear the urinary meatus thus allowing bacteria in), nylon underwear(by not letting enough air circulate), feminine powders and sprays, colored toilet tissue, yeast infections, and wiping the wrong way after urinating.\n\n\nHow to prevent them:  Always wipe front to back, urinate after sex(flushes the bacteria away from the opening), drink lots of water, wear cotton underwear, use white perfume free tissue, do not use feminine sprays or powders.\n\nGood Luck:) \n\nP.S. Cranberry Juice is a good home remedy the acidity inhibits bacteria growth and helps flush out your urinary tract.

No,its not. When you have a UTI you should take the medications prescribed by your doctor, and drink plenty of cranberry juice & water. Both of those help flush your body out.

DO THIS AND IT WILL BE GONE THE NEXT DAY I PROMISE, AND IT WILL NOT COME BACK, YOU KNOW IF IT COMES BACK IF YOU GET IT A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK LATER, BUT ITS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME DOING IT THIS WAY AND NOW WHEN I GET THEM I DONT EVEN WORRY BECAUSE I CAN GET RID OF IT FAST :) TRY IT! BELEIVE ME. IVE SUFFERED THROUGH SO MANY, AND THROUGH KIDNEY INFECTIONS, AND THIS IS THE BEST. NOT SURE ABOUT ALL 'NATURAL MEDICINE' BUT THIS WORKS EXTREMELY WELL.

What you need to do is go back to see your doctor and they need to do another urine culture.  What a urine culture consists of is the lab testing your urine to see what bacteria is causing the problem.  The lab then does another test to see what antibiotics that particular bacteria is resistant to.  In other words, if the lab says that the bacteria is resistant to nitrofuantoin, that antibiotic is not going to work for you.  When your doctor prescribes a medication, you should take ALL of it, even if you start to feel better.  Also you can go to the drug store and buy something called AZO that will get rid of the symptoms until your doctor gets the results of your culture.  AZO doesn't get rid of your UTI, just the symptoms.  It also will turn your urine orange, so don't be alarmed when that happens. I hope this is helpful to you.

Water pills. You can get them over the counter.

UTI's are commonly recognized by a frequent urgency, burning/painful urination, and cloudy urine. They are caused by too much sugar in your diet (cokes) and not drinking enough water. UTI's don't hurt your chances of getting pregnant, and don't hurt the baby once you become pregnant. \n\nSome helpful over the counter medicines such as AZO STANDARD and CRAN ASSURE can help alleviate the pain and discomfort of UTIs. Taken together, they usually wipe out the infection (if it hasn't progressed too far). Drinking lots of water and cranberry juice also helps. Although these medications help with UTIs, you still need to see a doctor. They can give you strong antibiotics that will wipe out the infection and prevent it from going up into your kidneys.  \n\nSex and chocolate should be refrained from!!! After sex, you should always empty your bladder to push out harmful bacteria out of your body. If you're having sex while you have a UTI, stop!!! It adds more harmful bacteria into your body. Chocolate shouldn't be consumed either. The added sugar will put your body in over drive trying to process all the sugar.

There is no over the counter cure for a UTI- you need to see a doctor for antibiotics.  In the meantime make sure you drink plenty of fluids, including cranberry juice. You can also go to your local drug store and pick up AZO which can be used for the pain of a UTI. This medication though can only be used for a maximum of 2 days.

That has nothing to do with it. You have a Urinary Tract Infection. See your doctor for antibiotics. I also suggest you drink a whole lot of water and or cranberry juice to help flush things out. Avoid caffeine for a day while you do this.

Places like the Planned Parenthood offer GYN services based on income, so if you don't have insurance it is a good idea to go there because it's pretty cheap.  If you go there it probably won't cost more than $60 for everything.  Also, in the future try to add crannberry juice to your diet, it really helps calm the symptoms during a UTI and helps prevent future UTIs.
