Urinary tract infection questions and answers

Condition analysis:
When it is clear that bleeding is from a Urinary Tract Infectionsthen it does not render a woman niddah. If it could be from the UTI, then the answer depends on where a woman is in her "halachic cycle" (during the shivah neki'im or after the mikveh).

Given that you are pregnant and that your doctor has identified your bleeding as non-uterine, you may indeed assume that you are not in niddah.

Instructions:
1. Apply Heating Pad
This is an excellent home remedy for UTI pain. You can place a hot water bottle or heating pad over your abdomen to help soothe the pain caused due to an infection.

2. Cranberry Juice
This is another good home treatment to cure UTI. Drink cranberry juice as it works great and does not allow the bacteria to remain in the urinary tract.

3. Have Pineapple
The enzyme, known as Bromelain, is found in pineapple. This enzyme imparts anti-inflammatory properties to this fruit and is helpful in trimming down the UTI symptoms. Either eat a cup of fresh pineapple or drink juice of half a pineapple on the daily basis. Avoid using the canned version.
