I have a urinary tract infection and..?

Question

i've had it since friday. so about 5 days now, and sometimes it gets so bad the discharge is a little bloody. and i got off my period a week ago, and i've been drinking water. not like ALOT but like 5 glasses a day? about? or like 3 bottles. how bad is my infection? do i need to go to a doctor? and is it normal for it to be bleeding..

sometimes it will hurt whenever i go pee and other times it won't. and it feels like i have to pee every 2 minutes. but when i try to go like nothing will come out and it'll just hurt really bad.

Answer 1

YES, you need to go to a doctor!  An infection requires antibiotics to be cured!  You are lucky you don't have a kidney infection!  Call your doctor and get in to see him or her ASAP.

Answer 2

You definitely should make an appointment with a doctor. UTI's can cause kidney infections if left too long, and other long term damage as well.

A doctor will give you a simple course of antibiotics (cheap). You should also drink lots of cranberry juice, it is a natural remedy for UTI's.

But see a doctor- you don't want to mess around with this.  

Answer 3

YES you need to see a doctor, or you'll be in even more pain. you shouldn't be bleeding... you definitely must go to the doctor's soon. UTI's are awful.  

Answer 4

Yes, go to the doctor right away. It could go to your kidneys, if it hasn't already, and make you very very sick.
