Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have a urinary tract infection. I have been having pain in my bladder when I urinate. This is a recurring issue. I have had three infections since the start of the year. I am taking cranberry tablets. I need a prescription for antibiotics. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
You probably have a urinary infection. I can give you the following recommendations:
1. Drink plenty of water. Water will dilute your urine and flush out bacteria.
2. Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder, like coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine, until the infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to increase the need to urinate.
3. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your belly to help with bladder pressure or discomfort.
I hope this information will help you.
Thank you.
