UTI treatment?

[Indoorvoicesbluey]

I’m due on any day as well so have really bad period pains and I think I’m brewing a uti/cystitis. I haven’t left the toilet for longer than 5 mins. It feels like I need a wee bit I don’t but with extra period pains.

iv taken paracetamol but not helping :( I want to sleep but I can’t lie down without needing to get up for a wee every 5 mins :(

Sounds like you may need antibiotics, the doctor can test a urine sample to check if it is a UTI. Drink lots of water in the mean time to help flush it out or maybe a hot water bottle to ease the pain.

Go to the doctor and get antibiotics. Don't leave it, it will only get worse.

I’m going to first thing in the morning but I don’t know how I’m supposed to sleep tonight lol :(

I had this a few months ago and I drank loads and loads of water and after a couple days it started to get better. Absolutely horrendous until then though

Antibiotics and then d-mannose to keep it away.

Can’t get a doctors appointment until tomorrow. Didn’t get sleep until 7am this morning. Iv drank lots of cranberry juice and cystitis relief stuff. Taken painfkillers but I can’t leave the toilet. It was ok most of the day but it’s got progressively worse. I feel like my bladder is contracting and nothing is coming out. Every time I stand the urge to wee comes. Honestly at breaking point :(

I ignored the early signs of cystitis last week and ended up in hospital - twice. Trust me whatever you’re feeling now it can be a hell of a lot worse.

If it’s so bad you can’t keep off the toilet it’s classed as inhibiting you from carrying out normal activities and I’d say it’s worth a 111 call to get referred onto your local out of hours for antibiotics tonight.

Honestly I am standing in solidarity with you- I’d rather have a broken leg than a UTI any day. Such a unrelenting pain.

Lie in a warm bath, and try and relax. I've lost count of the amount of hours I've spent lying in my bath waiting for antibiotics to kick in.

I’m scared to go walk in, I can’t stand up to go to bed, let alone driving far and having to sit in a waiting room 😩

Sadly we don’t have a bath :( been on here 2 hours now

Oh bless you! Can you get to an out of hours? I know it's uncomfortable but you may get some rest tonight if you can

You need to get an appointment because it’s only going to get worse. Trust me - it’ll hurt like hell for about ten minutes until you’re in the car and then driving will offer enough of a distraction to get you there and back. Hot water bottle on your lap.

I was where you are right now last week and had to drive myself in. They kept me in.

They’re going to want a urine sample off you too so you need to try and keep drinking so you have something.

I have this at the moment I bought antibiotics from superdrug Dr online came next day 3 days worth fantastic!

Hey just checking how you're doing today?
