Cystitis??

[tinkerbell23]

I dont feel pain when im peeing... More pressure as the pee goes on? Traveling up my stomach a bit and im always thinking i need a pee....do u thnk this is cystitis? :0(

Iv taken those cranberry potassium sachets xx

[4getmenot]

the cranberry sachets will not cure it, if you have it only natibiotics will help. Cranberry sachets just ease the pain in tummy and stop any bacteria sticking. It could well be cystitis, just go to gp and they will check for that or urine infection

Thanks 4get ill take sachets till i can get to doc prob wed xx

tinker, may be a good idea to take a urine sample to gp^s

[ummmm]

I got over the counter stuff that worked. It hadn't quite got to the painful stage. Drink loads of water as well...

Possibly cystitis:

but more likely to be a lower UTI:

Go to the GP, or go see your local pharmacist at the chemist if you can't get a GP appointment. Pharmacy can offer over the counter help - cranberry won't if it's got that far.

make sure you always pee after sex

[ubasses]

what colour is your urine. if you have a uti it usually goes a lot darker, and if not treated can get quite orange

[tinkerbell23]

Defo 4get...!

Ubasses- when i felt a bit "funny" i began to think maby i hadnt drank enough(been away for weekend and most fluid was alcohol) so since last night ive been drinking lots of water, also had 3 glasses of coke with my lunch! Plus 600ml again of water when taking 3x sachets.....so my urines really quite light! Xx

Pain in the back could be a sign of kidney infection. Afraid this happens to be every time I get cystitis, even have a pre-written prescription for them. Good luck, you have my sympathy....

There are two things I dread getting, one of them is vertigo and the other is cystitis. The best thing you can do if you think you have either is get off to the docs as soon as possible. Cystitis is horrible. Last year I had it several times and in the end had to go to the hospital to see if there was any underlying cause. Thank goodness there wasn't and the treatment the hospital professor prescribed seems to be working. Don't hesitate - get treatment.

Thanks all... I cant say i am in severe pain at moment so i hope these do trick for noe till docs...i cant get appointment for love nor money but open surgery wednesday am so id have to wait till then and just pop up...i just have a "feeling" cant describe it. Strange x

[Sqad]

No, doesnt sound like cystitis.................more like a bladder neck partial obstruction possibly caused by a gynaecological problem.(How old are you?)....e.g prolapsed uterus.

Make sure that you drink plenty of water.......not sure that it needs to be Cranberry and see your GP at your leisure.

[4getmenot]

that 'feeling' i know what you mean like you have an itch inside and want to scratch it.
