Answer 1

Yes.: Most urinary tract infections (UTI) are treated with a course of antibiotics, which come as pills. A pill called Pyridium (phenazopyridine) can help with symptoms of bladder irritation. Some advocate cranberry pills to prevent uti, but these do not treat the infection. Complicated or severe infections of the kidney may require intravenous antibiotics.

Yes: No problem with using tampons. Remember to use non scented tampons and change it frequently.

Answer 4

Yes: Your vagina is not attached to your urethra or bladder.

Answer 5

Yes: You can use a tampon if you have a uti. However since the vagina is right next to the bladder, you might find the tampon is uncomfortable due to the infection in the bladder. If you are uncomfortable, use pads instead.

Answer 6

UTI: Yes, you can wear a tampon with uti.

Answer 7

Yes: This should pose no increased risk to UTI progression, and should have no impact on treatment.

Answer 8

Here are some ...: If one has a continuous steady urine flow and can empty her bladder, and the tampon is not "too" bulky & tight, the use of tampon should not affect how you is treated for documented UTI. Of course, you can try and see; if it bothers your voiding, don't it; if not, use it. More? Ask your gyn-doc timely in detail.

Answer 9

UTI and tampons: Urinary tract infections (UTI) need to be treated, but tampons if appropriately used are not going to interfere with the treatment. The UTI occurs in the bladder and urethra (tube connecting the bladder and the outside) and if a tampon is changed correctly, there should be no effect on the treatment of the UTI.

Answer 10

Yes: It is OK to do that.

Answer 11

Yes.: Multiple, recurrent uti's can lead to kidney disease, even kidney failure. Must be evaluated by urologist. Could be a problem, in ascending order from where the urine leaves the body, with the urethra, the urinary bladder, the kidneys. Your age, I am presuming u r female, is an important factor. Some women have a bout of cystitis / UTI after sex. There are effective ways of rx. See a gyn and a uro.

Answer 12

More annoying than: Utis with only burning on urination and malodor is more annoying than anything else. Utis with back pain or fever need to be checked out. Reduce risk of utis by spreading thighs widely when you urinate. Also worth while urinating after sex plus taking Macrodantin (nitrofurantoin) 100mg if necessary. You may have cystitis cystica, a chronic bladder condition. Best to discuss this with your md or do.

Answer 13

Yes: Not all utis are associated with symptoms, even in an otherwise 100% healthy person. Many people with neurogenic bladder dysfunction can have completely non-symptomatic utis. Some people mistakingly think that urinary malodor is not a symptom, whereas it can be a symptom of a uti.

Answer 14

Several reasons: Urinary tract infections in women are more likely to occur with tight clothing, wiping from back to front, taking baths vs. Showers, and sexual activity. Consult with your family doctor, internist or urologist to see if something else is occurring.

Answer 15

Menopause?: Agree with dr c. Age can also be a factor. If you're menopausal, you may also have uti's more often. Talk with your doc about your (many) choices.

Answer 16

?Sex, ?hygiene: Could be: you don't urinate after sex and go to sleep with a full bladder, use bubble-bath or take tub baths rather than shower, wipe wrong way, don't spread your thighs when urinating + thus trapping urine behind labia, withhold urge to void, wear thongs or non-cotton underwear, are constipated or are menopausal. All or any of the above could make you prone tro utis.
