TMI UTI

Pretty sure. I called into the nurse line for a script since I'm needing to pee about every time I leave the bathroom from peeing. It is highly annoying.

Weird happenstance. My pee smells like popcorn. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

When I have a UTI it smells like bacon grease. Ew.

Mine didn't smell.  I just thought I had to pee all the time.  And wow did it feel good when I finally did.  Hope the drugs come in quick

Ouch, I hope you got the RX quickly. Those AZO pills can help for the time being until you get your script.

My 13 yeaer old son actually spent 3 days in the hospital with this!  It can get serious very quickly if you ignore it. (He was too embarrassed to tell me.)  Get treatment ASAP!

Ugh. UTIs are the worst! I'm just getting over one too.

UTIs are so bad. Sorry you're dealing with it. Get the scrip quick and you're good. Don't remember any particular smell associated with them.

Ughh that sucks!! I remember a similar smell, and my pee turned dark brown. I found that lots of water and cranberry juice (with the lowest sugar content, or cranberries period) really helped me get over them quickly. I hope you feel better soon!!

When I have a UTI my pee smells...sour? I dunno. It smells different, but I can't pinpoint how.

I haven't gotten one in a year! That's like a new record for me.

Get the AZO pills until the script comes in will turn your pee orange but the pain goes away.

Yea! That happened to both my brother and I when we were young. We had bladder reflux so we got UTI's all the time when we were young and I was always so embarrassed to tell my parents (when I was like 8 and 9). We both had to have corrective surgery.

Lots of water and cranberry juice (not the cocktail) or even just the cranberry supplement tablets will help until your meds come in. Hope you feel better soon!

My pee usually smells like bread when I have a UTI. Which kinda makes sense, I guess.

Drink as much water as you can stand, and definitely eat some cranberries (or take the cranberry supplements, or drink cranberry juice as long as it's not just all sugar)!

Yep. Lots of water and whatever cranberry you can stand (I went with cranberry juice, covers both requirements). I couldn't take the AZO pills because I wear contacts and they can stain your contacts (weird, but I'm not taking chances).

Get an antibiotic as soon as possible. UTIs are one of those things that's pretty easy to treat, but unbelievably bad if you let it go untreated.
