    Post Are these UTI symptoms?

    Hello ladies!

    i just have a quick question about uti's i've heard a lot of women experience them so i hope one of you can help.

    About two days ago I started having this sort of burning sensation when i pee (right after actually) and although I've been going to the bathroom more recently I attribute that to my increased intake of water. when I pee, it's a clear color. so far i haven't experienced much pain besides a random (and occasional) pain in the lower abdomen (barely recognizable, less than cramp). No bleeding, and no fever-like symptoms.

    Are those things enough for a UTI? My symptoms have definitely improved since yesterday and I've taken some Alka-Seltzers(ive heard theyre good for uti's) and, like i said, I've increased the amount of water i usually drink 10X.

    Any ideas if this is a UTI? any stories that can relate? Thanks so much for all of your help!

    It's possible. Usually, when I get those symptoms I just take some cranberry pills (as directed on the bottle you buy) until they go away (usually 1-3 days).

    As rosekitten said, it's possible, because that is a symptom, but it sounds like that's the only one. When I had a UTI I had that uncomfortable feelings of still having to pee even after I just went, and my pee was very cloudy (mostly in the AM) and had a foul smell. Do you think it's possible to have an std? If not, it's most likely the first signs of a UTI and if you start taking those Cranberry pills it might clear it right up. Good luck!
    ~Today, any person can fight the battles of one day It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful eternity's- yesterday and tomorrow, that we break down. It is not the experience of today that drives people mad. It is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.
    Let us therefore, live but one day at a time.~

    Hi there! For some, just a slight burning is the only indication of a UTI. For me, when I had it before its mimicked a yeast infection(odd). You can take several cranberry pills a day or purchase D-Mannose to see if this will help stave it off. it not you can always drop off a sample at the doctors.
