would culture, sensitvity,bacterial, urine be the same as a urinary tract infection? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.87.129.82 (talk • contribs). 04:24, 21 January 2004

What treatment was used for UTI before antibiotics, and was it affective? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Barbhardt (talk • contribs). 18:56, 7 September 2006

Cranberry juice or cranberry tablets and increased water intake have been used for a long time to treat UTIs and some people still swear by both. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 21:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

I made the following edits to acupuncture section.

  • After reviewing the three studies cited, all were by the same author and have not been independently reproduced. I added this comment to text.
  • Also all were for preventing cystitis, none were for treating acute cystitis, so I removed claim for treatment (apologies to dissenters).
  • The PMID for the 1983 trial (PMID 12356607) was incorrect and was the PMID to a commentary critical of the 1983 study. I fixed this.

I divided the prevention section into measures with supporting empiric evidence versus those without. If I have done so incorrectly, please add WP:CITE from Wikipedia:Reliable_sources to WP:Verify

The division seems entirely reasonable to me, but it's important that these have been suggested by others, and are not novel to Wikipedia. If none can be found, the division is still helpful, because it clearly identifies what needs to be removed. :-) Jakew 17:17, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I made changes to the introduction.. feel free to change my wording. I got the information off of my father's website (http://www.braithwaite.yourmd.com/)Nonameplayer 19:38, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Affects animals?

Does this affect animals as well? It would be nice to have either a little summary of the affliction in animals, or a link to a page about UTI in animals. -- 71.112.6.128 05:59, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

yes it effects animals. 65.10.129.40 18:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)


"Discharge from the penis" ought to be edited to "discharge from the urethra" for both accuracy and to make it more inclusive.

I added the discharge from the penis bit (I was anon at the time). After talking to a doctor, he said that 99% of penile discharges that he sees are because of Gonorrhea not because of a UTI. So i suggest removing that line completely. Nonameplayer 16:31, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
