A member asked:

What are things i should avoid drinking when having a urinary track infection? is it okay to still drink sugary drinks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI: The goal with fluids in relation to cystitis is to make lots of urine to flush the bladder. To that end, any fluid is good fluid. I would note that caffeine tends to be a irritant to the bladder, especially when inflamed.
