uti kidneys

Your urine being yellow with a strong smell might simply mean that you are not drinking enough water, and if you don't drink enough water you are more likely to suffer UTIs.

Meanwhile, stick to natural products, not perfumed ones, in the bath or shower, and wipe from front to back when you use the loo - sorry I can't put it more delicately than that!  

Hope that helps.

I know a lot of docs try to stick people on non hardcore meds but sometimes you just need a stronger med. there's a few you can ask for like bactrim or a recepherin dose. Sounds like you have a lower uti. Only a pee test is needed what you can do is request to look at the bacteria count it's just a receipt that comes off the machine. Those meds are not working you need new meds period

Don't just hope that it will go away by itself. I made the mistake of trying to put up with low grade uti's using over the counter treatments because I felt I was being a pest to the doctor - now have kidney damage thought to be the result of frequent infections over a long period of time.

Definitely drink lots to flush out the system - it makes you feel better too.
