Urinary tract infect: So you know you have a urinary tract infection? Do you really want to put up w/painful frequent urgent urination for another 3 days? Whoever made your diagnosis should start you on appropriate antibiotics. Let your Gastroenterologist know as s/he may want to delay your colonoscopy.
