UTI.....burning wee and dark smelly wee

But docs said the result were clear. But why is it burning? It gotta be thrush but im not itchy or got any white discharge on my knickers. I've had uti on and off nearly all my life and I've had thrush a few times.

I've had my kidneys checked this year and they are in working order. burning wee gone worse since I've had my ds 5 yrs ago.

I find if I don't have enough water for one day, my wee burns the next day (I had the sick bug feel yesterday so couldn't drink much that feeling sick).

Arghhhhh I'm pissed off!!

Get d manosse powder. Check out reviews online but it's cured so many people (myself included) from burning wee.
Caffeine and alcohol really aggravate things for me, as does lots of fruit juice. Water is pretty much the only thing I can have now and I drink about 3litres a day.
Also get some cranberry pills to take daily too

I get this a lot, it's horrible.Sounds like your wee is acidic. I get this if I eat tomatoes, spicy food or too much sugar or caffeine or don't drink enough water.

1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water will help to neutralise it straight away. I find drinking lemon barley water helps too. Take neurofen to reduce the stinging. How water bottle between your legs (if that's practical) helps too.

I've also heard sugar really aggravates things. I used to notice my wee burn more when I ate lots of chocolate etc

Hmm chocolate stands out as I'm eating alot of that lately. Please don't tell me I have to give up on it!! Sobs sobs!!.... Prob will have to cut it down.

I'm not fussy on cranberry juice as it dehydrated me awful. lemon tonic water is fab when I remember to buy it. I will cut down on tomatoes and spicy stuff.

I will have the bicarbonate of soda a try.

Thank you everyone as I appreciated your help x

Get the cranberry pills instead of the juice. I find the juice dries my mouth out

I’ve had this all week. Burning when I wee and burning when I wipe. No smell or itch but wee hole looks sore. Had mirror down there Blush I’ve not had my usual energy drinks or coffee just water and cranberry juice. Ugh driving me mad!!!!!

Are you on the contraceptive pill? That used to give me cystitis a lot. And do you have a lot of sugar in your diet or alcohol?
Cranberry juice is only good for it if it's the pure kind and not the stuff full of sugar. I found cranberry tablets better. Also make sure you empty out every last drop of wee when you're on the toilet. I always have to sit on the toilet for another minute once I'm done and then a few more drops come out.
It's a horrible thing to deal with so I hope you feel better soon

@Teddy7878 I’m type 1 Diabetic had a lot of stress recently and my bloods are running high so def too much sugar in my system. I will get the cranberry tablets instead, thank you

cherrycola2004 · 17/11/2017 18:16

Also no not on the pill. I do think is diabetics can be prone to it

It could be that you had an infection which has cleared, hence the negative test, but left behind some inflammation. If that's the case then lots of water, avoid caffeine and alcohol for a few days, and plenty of painkillers until the pain passes.
