Dealing with a urinary tract infection. What brings it on and the cures.

By Michelle Macdonald


Women who have a urinary tract infection are experiencing a very painful condition. They may be having mild, moderate or severe symptoms.

Symptoms can also include a fever, fatigue and abdominal pain. All of these can be helped by ibuprofen or another over the counter painkiller with some success. Urine may appear cloudy or have a foul odor associated with it. The infection may not be deep within the body. If so, it may be easier to treat.

Symptoms like fatigue, fever and abdominal pain can often accompany infections like these. Mild conditions can be treated with over-the-counter painkillers and an antibiotic.

Mild conditions are often easier to treat and will be gone quicker. If a woman experiences cloudy or foul-smelling urine, she should go the doctor immediately, as this is a sign that the condition has affected her kidneys.

A doctor's diagnosis is necessary if you think you have a UTI. The structure of the female body is more prone to UTIs. Men are very rarely affected. The condition might also run in a family. The women in the family may get them more frequently and are forced to take preventative measures.

The bladder and kidneys are two of the types of infections associated with UTIs. Different types of UTIs will have different symptoms.

Women should leave the diagnosis up to a doctor. Kidney and bladder infections can become very serious if they are left untreated. Organs in the body can suffer permanent damage. Have the condition treated as soon as you see symptoms. The earlier it is treated, the better chance of successfully getting rid of it.

Having a urinary tract infection that is not treated quickly can lead to other problems. Vomiting and nausea are two symptoms that should not be ignored. These are signs that the condition is getting much worse. Some infections heal on their own but most require some kind of medication and treatment.
