I know your not drs out there but sat night I was up 3-4 times to go to the bathroom

it was like very 3 hrs nothing odd or pain just alot of times

this morning twice when I went there was a pinkish color sorry if TMI) what really scares me is thats how my cancer was found 3 yrs ago although that was a period not sure a slight color and I stopped with those in 2008

it always feels like I have to go but not really sounds odd

Ill probably go to the after hrs clinic tomorrow since we leave for vEgas on the 12th

just wondering if any of you out there think this is an UTI

any and all advice is much appreicated

thanks all

Walmart and most drug stores sell a test kit for UTIs. Your symtoms certainly sound like mine when I have one. Drinking lots of cranberry juice can help. Get one that has the least amount of added sugar.

Health food stores sell a product called D-mannosethat also helps. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-suppl...redientid=1114&activeingredientname=d-mannose

Your best bet is to get your urine tested.

I agree take a test for UTI, but you may just want to go to a doc to test because if it's positive, you'll need a prescription and if it's not a UTI, they can tell you what it is.

I used to get UTI's fairly often but never had blood/pinkish color.

Yeah I've never had pinkish tinge to my urine when my urine with a UTI, but I do if I am passing a kidney stone. That can also make you go/feel like going a lot.

I have had the pinkish tinge with a UTI...........went to a urologist. He suggested cranberry capsules.....really strong ones. Been taking them for about 4 years and no more problems, thank goodness.

You can very much have blood in your urine with a UTI so don't rules that out at all. Go to the doctor. I have found the take home tests to be very inaccurate with both false negatives and false positives. Don't trust them. Go see an actual medical professional.

I don't usually have pain with a UTI, so you could very well have one.

So now I'm on 2 plus a pro biotic. I feel like such a mess today I have to get better by next Monday since we leave for Vegas thanks againy
