Urinary tract infections (UTIs)
are infections of the bladder, kidneys, or tubes that carry urine. They are quite common and can come from things like wiping back to front, using scented products “down there” or from having sex.

Needing to pee suddenly or more often than usual
Smelly or cloudy urine
Blood in your urine
Lower tummy pain
Loss of bladder control
A high/low temperature
Feeling hot and shivery
Feeling sick or being sick
Pain in your lower back or sides of your abdomen
It’s important to not self-treat uti’s as they can develop into more serious issues or even chronic uti - and cranberry has not been scientifically proven to help treatment of a UTI
Antibiotics
Your doctor or nurse may give you a course of antibiotics to clear the infection. Its important to finish the course of antibiotics even if you feel better
