Answer
nivole;
urinary tract infections[UTIs] are common-especially among women.
the general term urinary tract infection is often used to describe infections that begin in the bladder[cystitis],kidney[pyelonephritis]or urethra[urethritis].

although an infection is uncomfortable and annmoying it isnt a serious disease.

treatment;
try flooding your bladder-drink two eight ounce glasses of water. then dissolve one teaspoonn baking soda in four ounces water and drink that. then, for the next six to eight hours drink 8ounces of water every hour. consult your doctor if this doesnt help,and your symptoms are not relieved.
-dont feed it-this foods can aggravate-alcohol,coffee,tea,cranberry juice,chocolate,carbonated beverages,all citrus,spicy foods.
-make sure you clean your vagina area,a few times a day. keeping it dry;
-wear cotton under wear.will help as well;

i hope this helps;
