DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a
56-year-old female and have cloudy
ZITS urine. It started five years ago. I have
had my urine tested twice, but both
times the urine was clear. My doctor
told me there was nothing wrong with it.
I have herpes. I choose not to take
medicine to avoid side effects.
What is your advice? —S.M.
ANSWER: Cloudy urine isn’t always
a sign of trouble. Phosphates — mineral
crystals found in many foods — cloud
the urine.
Put this issue to rest by having your
doctor give you a slip for a urinalysis.
Keep it on hand until a day when your
urine is cloudy. Then go immediately to
the lab for a test.
Herpes outbreaks usually become
MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM less frequent with the passage of time.
If you have outbreak after outbreak,
you might want to reconsider the use
of medicine, not for a cure but for
suppression of frequent attacks. The
medicine makes you more comfortable
and lessens the risk of transmission.
Are you positive that you have herpes?
Newer tests are quick and reliable. You
could possibly benefit from having an
outbreak checked.
