Another UTI question!?

Question 1
Another UTI question!?...  If I think I have a UTI, is there anything I can do, without going to a doctor and getting an antibiotic, to get rid of it?
I'm on birth control and I really don't want to have to take an antibiotic, it'll make me nervous!

Answers
1)   nothing really works like antibiotics. plus why be in pain and discomfort for weeks and possibly get worse or even a kidney infection which would put you in the hospital. so just call your doctor and they will easily get you some antibiotics after your appointment. - eRock

2)   You can try drinking lots of fluids, especially cranberry juice because the acidity will help. However, this is not a guaranteed cure. UTI's are commonly caused by the bacteria, E. Coli and you will need an antibiotic to treat the infection. Not all antibiotics cancel out birth control, so talk to your doctor and see if there is one that they can prescribe that won't interact with your birth control. - xxcandycane69xx

3)   Lots of Cranberry juice... I do it all the time... :) - Lizzi

4)   Parsley tea. I know it sounds ridiculous, and it's not tasty, but it's as natural as it gets. I heard of this from my wife who learned it from her mom. I used it once and it worked without having to see the doctor. Also, it is super cheap.

How to make Parsley Tea
* Boil 4 cups of filtered water.
* Remove the water from the heat.
* Mince (cut up finely) 4 heaping teaspoons of fresh parsley (including stems, & roots if you can get them).
* Steep 20 minutes; strain — it is okay to drink hot or cold, and it may be reheated without harming it, but do not boil it.
* Drink all 4 cups throughout the course of one day, for 6-7 days. - valisfive

Question 2
how do you get rid of a black eye and a bruised rib area?...  

Answers
1)   rub some dirt on it. for the eye, use a pirate eyepatch, those are so cool anyway halloween is coming - Ben Dover

2)   you wait. while you are waiting, you teach yourself self defense so you dont get beat up so bad next time. - Wo

3)   u don't. U wear it proudly. Ur a man - Jay

4)   Icing it and an anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) will help it cover a smaller area, but you don't actually get rid of bruises. you can use make-up, and cover it up, but other than containing the spread of the bruise you're just going to be stuck with it I'm afraid. - valisfive

Answers
1)   i think you shoud c a doctor just to make sure because you never know. best of luck - jewelzwashere

2)   do you have bruises over your trunk or legs? im guessing you are just overthinking it, because stiff neck would make you not want to sleep or turn your head even a small amount. and the eye pains, would be very serious pains, the memory loss - like eating breakfast twice or forgetting where you lived or your phone number. These are the types of problems they are talking about, serious problems that others notice. so realistically i would just schedule an appointment with your doctor and until then dont worry! - eRock

3)   Hello, I'm a doctor. Use nolvadex. I think that you want to get more info about it. Please go to ----> http://canmdh58.notlong.com/AAJV9JB - Tacey Zachariah

Question 4
If I go to my doctor and get tested for a UTI...?...  Will I find out that day if I have an infection or not? Or will they have to send my results to a lab?

Answers
1)   you will find out that same day. - sleepysparrow

2)   They should tell you that day, because if you have an infection they need to treat you right away. Urinalysis generally doesn't take that long. - xxcandycane69xx

3)   Testing for a UTI is simple. Takes exactly 2 minutes. Your doctor should be able to preform it in his/her surgery. - mione713

What are these bumps on my penis?...  For the last 4 months or so, I have had these bumps on my penis. They sort of look like pimple or something. They are located on the shaft of my penis and i have 1 on the pubic area. I don't know how i could have these because I have been with the same girl for a year and a half and she gets checked for any STD every 3 months or so. Can someone tell me if I should be worried about this. They don't itch or hurt and I don't have a problem urinating.
