Uti = Sti? Posted: 12-10-06 05:59am
Hi there I just want to clarify this,
because i've had uti before and people
told me it was a kind of std. Is that
true? Does it come back?

Depends on what you do. I would treat
it..Not mess around with it.. Here's what
I found for you on a website:
the urinary tract is the body's filtering
system for removal of liquid wastes.
Women are especially susceptible to
bacteria which may invade the urinary
tract and multiply resulting in infection.
Although most urinary tract infections or
utis are not serious, they are painful.
Approximately fity percent of all women
will have at least one uti in her lifetime
with many women having several infections
throughout their lifetime. Fortunately,
these infections are easily treated with
antibiotics that cause the symptoms to
quickly disappear. Some women seem are
more prone to repeated infections than
others and for them it can be a
frustrating battle.
