I think I may have a urinary tract infection. Is it safe to wait for my gyn/ob appointment in 3 days?I have my annual checkup with the gynecologist in 3 days, but recently talking to a friend, it appears I have several syptoms of having a urinary tract infection. Should I just wait and tell the doctor in 3 days, or call someone sooner?

you can wait but drink lots of cranberry juice, sometimes if you drink enough of it it can even take the uti away! if you dont like cranberries you can get black cherry and cranberry juice or grape and cranberry juice, they taste great and still works great. hope this helps hun and good luck :)

The best thing to do would be to call your primary care Dr or your gyn and see if they can get you in before then. The longer it goes untreated the more uncomfortable you will be and it may worsen. If they cant squeeze you in you could try a med center or urgent care facility. If you cant be seen by anyone there are a few things that will help ease some of your symptoms. Drink lots of water and try some cranberry juice. There is a medicine called AZO Cranberry that you can get from the pharmacy.
Here is the product website if you want more info on it.

Yes, but I'd recommend conentrated cranberry capsules in the mean time. Cranberry juice is good, but only the pure stuff which is nearly impossible to find. The usually cranberry juice is a "juice drink" and has a lot of sugar in, which is best avoided when you have a uti.
