Medical Question....uti - GoFuckYourself.com

Hey,

my friend thinks he hs a UTI....if so, he has it a few days now. He has not had sex so he knows its not an STD. It burns him sometimes lately when he pees. Knowing that i took some Bio classes in college, he asked me....

is it possible to cure a UTI with something over the counter or only through antibiotics???

Thanks for your help

lots of fluids.

dcortez · 09-06-2006, 03:48 PM

Cranberry juice - lots of it.

i was told cranberry only prevents, not cures...?

probably gonna need the antibiotics. if he lets it go it can turn into a kidney infection - which is WAY worse.

Yeah, you definitely don't want a kidney infection. I had a really bad one and then was on Cipro for over a year - it wasn't fun.

PamiebDVD · 09-06-2006, 04:22 PM

mine went to kidney infection, without even knowing i had the uti. That cipro stuff works, but it sucks being on it. I can't imagine being on it for a year!

I get them all the damn time.

Visit doctor or clinic if you can. Otherwise plenty of fluid, plus a great deal of cranberry juice and or cranberry juice extract pills. I also suggest high amounts of lemonade (real kind).

By the way odds are cipro, amoxicillin, etc are overkill for a uti. If they suggest it, ask if macrobid will work. It is cheaper, less side effects, and of course is not a nukem pill like cipro. Save the heavy hitters for when you must use them as to not develop shit that is resistant to it.

Let him have an appointment with his private doctor. Yes, fluids might also help.

And most important, get your medical advice from GFY (NOT!)
