Urinary Tract Infection?

[NormanC]

So it seems like I have most of the symptoms for a UTI, except it only hurts after I pee? like a menstrual cramp?
Do I have a UTI?
Or is it something different?

Prevention of UTIs The best way to treat UTIs in the elderly, or anyone for that matter, is to try to prevent their occurrence. UTIs can be prevented or their recurrence minimized by: • Not using douches or other feminine hygiene products • Not drinking fluids that tend to irritate the bladder, such as alcohol and caffeine • Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplement tablets, but only if you or your family does not have a history of kidney stones • Drinking lots of water • Keeping the genital area clean. If wearing see that they are changed regularly. Wear cloth undergarments • Always wiping from front to back (for women)
