URINE INFECTION * UPDATE*
Hello, wonder if anyone can help? It is starting to hurt when i'm going for a wee but at the end of it, nothing during it. Its feels a little like cyctitus. Has anyone had this and what did you have to take? The doctor wont see me untill Friday!!! I know lots of water and cranberry juice is always good but just wondered if anyone else had any ideas. All the receptionist said was take a paracetomol and that should ease the disscomfort.
Any help would be much appreciated!

** UPDATE **
So this morning i took myself of to the doctors to do them a urine test....I can barely see my bits as it is so how i'm meant to catch pee is beyond me. They ask you to write your details on the bottle first....WHY? you get pee all over it and it smudges!?! So got myself in a mess pissing in the stupid pot they give you, gathered myself together and tried to compose myself. I take the sample to the reception and "quitely" tell her is my urine sample....Might as well not bothered as she shouts out to a reception area full of people "can you please write out your details again as you seem to have smudged all the writing"!!! nice one!
Anyway nurse calls me to tell me It was riddled with infection! Possibly due to Andrex wet wipes!!! I am now on a course of antibiotics, gallons of water and cranberry juice! Its quite painful!

Also for comfort ,I guess no tights and wearing only 100% cotton knickers can help.
Drink lots and lots (no tea/coffee/acidic juice). I'm on 3rd infection now so fully sympathise. Hope you feel better soon.

i had cystitis two years ago,nothing out of the ordinary but it kept coming back and i ended up with a dull ache in my back that i later realised was my kidney(call me crazy but at the time i didnt put the two together)i didnt see the doctor until it was a full blown kidney infection,i was really ill and had to go on antibiotics. at the same time they told me i was pregnant but i lost the baby two weeks later they think due to the verociousness of the infection.
dont want to worry anyone but its better to be safe than sorry!x
