How Can UTI Be Treated?
I m pretty sure that I have a urinary tract infection. I feel the urge to pee a lot and it burns when I do. It s killing me. I took some cranberry fruit pills about an hour ago. I went to the bathroom and wiped. It was red. Is this from the cranberry pills?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your urine routine micro examination needs to be done.
If urine shows pus cells and bacteria then chances of UTI is more and urine culture needs to be done.
USG scan also be advisable for UTI. Cystitis, pyelonephritits, urethritis etcetera are causes of UTI.
Antibiotic course can be prescribed for it. Drink lots of water, have more fruit juice. Consult physician for examination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
