Re: Weird pain when urinating
Hi THoltz
Glad to hear your urine test was normal
You are correct, UTi's are less common in men and me being female have always been predisposed to them. I have chronic UTI's.
Nicola is correct. Coffee irritates the bladder as does citrus, chocolate, tea etc.
I not only have the med asst dip my urine in the office but I also request that they send it out for culture. I do this as sometimes when they dipped in the office it was neg but when cultured it came back positive
I have gotten into the habit of drinking tons of water a day. I use this hard plastic reusable cup with a screw on lid and reusable straw. It can be found at dollar stores, supermarkets, Target and Walmart. I fill it up and drink it and then re fill again and again
Take a probiotic daily, 1,000 mgs of Vit C - all recd by my urologist
Hope this has helped
