The best thing you can do if you have a UTI is to drink cranberry juice, it has bacteria which helps to get rid of UTI's, also drink plenty of water to flush it out of your system.

I'm sure you'll be fine for your endoscopy.

Hi Mandy

a person can get recurrent UTI's for a number of reasons. In your case it may just be that due to you being unwell at the moment all your natural ph levels are out of whack and your hormones are up the wall so this may have contributed to the amount of bad bacteria to create a uti.

I dont have problems with uti's instead im waking endless times during the night with a full bladder!!!

Try your best not to worry, as worrying can make many symptoms appear and make things worse for a person, try and keep yourself busy if you can, especially your mind then it wont play tricks on you.

Thank you so much Sharon, You are right but all I am doing is stressing out about so many things. My 5 year old is having his tonsils out on monday and I feel ill, And I am so scared somthing will go bad!!
I have always been a stress head I dont like myself for it.
thanks again ...Mandy
