What does it mean when you suddenly have a burning sensation and cramping when you urinate? also the urine feels hot. I was diagnosed with a yeast infection a couple months back and I haven't been diligent with treatment for... personal reasons. I'm scared please help!

Nothing to be too worried about-- it sounds like a UTI (urinary tract infection). They can often develop if minor things like yeast infections are left untreated.

If you go to a doctor, there are a whole bunch of medications they can perscribe you that'll clear the problem up right away. Just let your doctor know the reason you didn't take your medication last time, and he can give you something that will fit you better. There are all kinds of different pills and/or liquid medicines that can help. :)

That being said, UTI's can develop into something more serious (like kidney problems) if left untreated, so be sure to follow your doctor's plan this time, and let him know if there's any reason you won't be able to. There are urban myths that at-home remedies, like drinking cranberry juice, can solve UTI's, but scientists have proved that this is actually ineffective.

All in all, it's nothing to be too worried about, and it's super easy to treat. :) Best of luck!

It's probably some type of infection - yeast infection or a UTI, most likely. Go to the doctor and get it taken care of.

There are no good reasons to not be diligent with treatments for infections. If you're not diligent, there's a good chance that something will come back to haunt you, as you've found out here. Just take your medication!

Either an STD, or your Yeast infection. You need to follow the treatment, or it'll come back with vengence.

Those are usually what a doctor will tell you.
