Urinary tract infection. It's when your pee is infected., you'll need to take antibiotics for a week or so and you'll be fine

You could easily google this. UTI stands for urinary tract infection. If you have one, you need to go to your family doctor and get an antibiotic to treat it. You can go to WebMd.com and type in urinary tract infection in the search line and read everything you need to know about this condition and how to take care of yourself.

It is a Urinary Tract Infection - quite common and VERY uncomfortable. To get somewhat quick relief start drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice. However, most times you will need antibiotics to clear the infection. I have had lots of UTI's over the years and usually they give me antibiotics called Macrobid - which clear up the infection pretty quick. Good luck - hope this helps.

Don't worry. Everyone gets them it is completely normal!
Symptoms or signs of a UTI( Urinary Tract Infection)
- Nausea
- Feeling like you have to pee a lot. Almost as if you always have to pee
- Burning or itching when you pee
- Fever
To relieve these symptoms try drinking cranberry juice. They also have over the counter medicine that will help relieve your symptoms. If that doesn't work in a week, try going to your doctor and he will prescribe you some medicine. It can be caused by sexual activity, infection, or bacteria that has gotten in there. Good luck , feel better. If you need anything else then please email me.

a urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacteria and dead skin/sweat based problem that causes inflammation and pain. urine will continually burn as it passes the infected tissue until you and your bodys' immune system clear the infection away. some involuntary incontinence may occur and if it's advanced bleeding from the ureathra. attempting to force the natural process could result in more pain and imbarassment.

UTI stands for "urinary tract infection". It frequently comes from an infection that results from having sex, but sex is not necessary. Hygene needs to be clean to avoid getting a UTI.

After using the restroom, women are suppose to wipe from front to back to avoid sweeping E. coli (a common bacterium found in the anus) into the urethra.

Uncircumcized men have more UTI infections that circumcized men because the foreskin can accumlate bacteria under the skin. For that reason, uncircumcized men should be careful about cleaning that area of the penis.

There are many different bacteria associated with UTI's and some are worse than others. A physician may order a "culture and sensitivity" on your urine to determine the source of the infection.

There are also non-medical ways to help deal with UTI's. For example, cranberry juice is know to alter the pH (acidity) of urine to help prevent bacterial growth and I know there are others.
