    Hi Hiyab

    Have you seen your GP and been given antibiotics ? If not do that ASAP.

    Also you need to flush out the infection and the only way to do this is to keep hydrated. Thios means water or fruit juce not tea or coffee.

    The mainĀ  reason for getting UTI's is dehydration. You need to drink 2 liters of fluid every day to stay healthy and that will help keewp infection away also.

    Hi. I had an urine infection and I did have to take antibiotics although I believe that only deep infections (like dental stuff) can transmit to your hip. Antibiotics are not good for us. Drink loads of water not juice as the bacteria feeds on the sugar in fruit juice. You should see your GP.Ā

    Good morning...

    Unusually...as a bloke I got one a couple of years ago. Antibiotics did not work but cranberry juice and lots water did. Maybe do both!

    After my hip op I was advised my kidneys were vulnerable after the anaesthesia and catheter...and to drink one litre of water daily

    Get well soon

    Warmly

    dear hiyab

    uti will not transmit to your hip

    I had a uti right after it was discharged from thr. ..it sucked, is an understatement. ...

    take some unsweetened yoghurt. .This will balance the antibiotics.

    feel better soon, sweetheart

    wa hug

    Most UTI's are localised within the tract. Prompt correct antibiotic treatment works well and quickly. If your symptoms do not improve go back to GP, be sure and finish the antibiotics
