Pee Question

[TEXgrl]

i would see a doctor and get a UA done, especially if you are drinking more water and your urine still seems concentrated.......is there any associated burning or aching either while you go or after? telltale signs of a bladder or kidney infection. when you go, are you going alot or just a little?

Yeah, get a urinalysis. I had a UTI once where I had no symptoms other then I was peeing frequently and my pee smelled stronger.

UTI--does anyone know what brings it on? Don't believe I've ever had one...<knocks on wood>

I'm not experiencing any pain, burning, or aching. It seems to be around the same amount each time (neither a little nor a whole lot). I should add that I am used to drinking only like 6 cups of water a day, which really is less than I should drink anyways...maybe this is my body's way of forcing me to drink more? I dunno. I feel real dehydrated upon waking up. WHile a UTI is certainly possible, and I will check things out, I'm sorta wondering if there's a less scary explanation for what I'm experiencing.

Have you changed your diet recently?

What about any new veggies? Thngs like asparagus can have a big impact on your urine. Try any new foods?

UTI isn't scary, it's not like they have to give you an "exam" for it, now that would be scary. I got my UTI from holding "it" too long, too often. I hate to use the bathroom anywhere but at home.

You also can get one from a lot of sex.....

I got a urinalysis done, and I didn't have a UTI, but they did see some white blood cells there which suggested I was fighting somethin. Turned out that I had a mild yeast infection, and that the infection was causing irritation which was making me feel like I had to pee all the time.
