Urinary tract infection worry - is it all in my mind?

Years ago I had a bad UTI and felt that I was going to pee myself all the time. I still feel like this often, and am worried that it is just in my mind since I was so scared when I had it last time. I had to take 2 courses of antibiodicts as I did not go to the doctor straight away and it got really bad. It also affected my mind and perception a bit. Can anyone help me as I am not sure if I should go to the doctor as I have felt like this ever since I first had it!

    Drink a couple of jugs of straight cranberry juice. It cleans the urinary tract.

    Also, there is a pain reliever you can get at the drugstore called NZO.

    You should be drinking AT LEAST ten 8-ounce glasses of water per day to keep this from happening again

    I don't know if you are in the US, but right up there with pregnancy tests are UTI tests. Get one and use it. If it's negative, you still need some of the med that helps you hold it--Detrol?

    That med that a couple posters were talking about is AZO. It really helps the pain, but if you're going to be taking a test, wait and take the the AZO after the test or the test won't work.

    I would suggest to go see a doctor. For one you will know for sure and put your mind to rest. The not know will probably drive your mind more crazy than need be. Hopefully its nothing. In addition if it turns out to be UTI, at least you will nail it sooner than later and get it treated.

    hopefully that helps. In case you are looking for more information on UTI like symptoms, videos, etc. check out this.

    definite. There are additionally loose clinics. interior the intervening time, purchase some cranberry juice... no longer the mixed type. Drink somewhat some it for the subsequent countless days. in case you do unlike cranberry juice, upload it to 7Up or something, however the terrific way is to in user-friendly terms drink it. that would not take the situation of drugs, regardless of the undeniable fact that it is going to help.
