Possible uti?

Question

I've only had one uti in my life ( when I got on birth control) and I think I may have another one but the only symptom I have is feeling pressure in my lower back when I've had to go to the bathroom.. I only have one kidney so it's something serious for me... What do you all think?

Answer

My first one, I didn't realize I had one and it went two weeks untreated until one night I called my mom at 3am from college bawling because I couldn't sleep due to the immense discomfort and the constant feeling that I had to pee.... Moral of the story: if you ever doubt it, just get it checked. If it's 3am and you can't get to the doctor, AZO will be your best friend to hold you over. But it does turn your pee BRIGHT orange..

Answer

There are tests you can buy at the drug store. You will find them with pregnancy tests and yeast infection meds. With one kidney, as a nurse I think you should keep that in mind, you must protect that precious filter. Is the test is pos, see your doc. If you develop pain before your appointment use some Azo or Cystex, found in the same place.

Answer

Call your doctor. Especially if you're compromised, there's absolutely no benefit to risking it.

Answer

Very well could be. I have one right now and I have sooo many symptoms. Call your doctor. Don't go too long without getting it checked!

Answer

I've only had one UTI but what I remembered was how bad I had to go pee. I kept running back and forth to the bathroom and  I would just get drips. When I did go pee it burned. Pretty much sucked.
