Urinary tract infection

4/24/2012

0 Comments

 
If you have burning or cramping when you pass your urine, if you have to urinate more often than usual and you are only passing a small amount, if your urine is cloudy or smells bad, you probably have a urinary tract infection.
You can help prevent urinary tract infections (UTI) by drinking lots of water, so that your urine is clear rather than dark yellow, not holding your urine, and urinating after having sex. 
If you think you have a UTI, please see your doctor. Untreated UTI's can cause ascending infection to your kidneys, causing back pain, fever, and chills. This may result in permanent damage to your kidneys.
Have you had a drink of water yet for today?
Love yourself, take care of your health!
