Other Answers:
Water is good when you have any type of infection because it's good for you and will help speed up the healing process. That's why.
The idea is to flush out the urethra and external genitalia as much as possible to keep the infection from spreading. Yes, it's painful, but with medications it will be gone in a few days. Make sure you take the full dose of the antibiotic/s your doctor prescribed, even if you feel better before the pills run out.

Cranberry juice, orange juice. you can try these - they work for some people because they make the urine more acidic and harder for the bacteria to live in. If it works, great.

Hope this helps.
The bacteria reproducing in your urinary tract will come off in the urine stream. The higher the concentration of pathogens, the greater damage they will cause. You make more urine, urinate more, and you'll flush them faster.

When I was younger I had a UTI and I did the opposite (drank less). It was extremely painful and produced a lot of blood - I would not recommend that to anyone.

Also, drink cranberry juice. The compounds in it reduce bacterial growth.
Cranberry juice is more what I have heard. The water helps wash out the bacteria that caused the infection. To help the body rid itself of infection before it travels to somewhere else. The cranberry juice helps neutralize the urine and cut the pain.
It will help you urinate. It flushes out the infection in your system.
Drinking water in large quantities is any case good for all diseases. Water flushes out the toxins in the system.
it helps flush your system,also drink a lot of cranberry juice(no the mixed stuff,straight cranberry) If you have regular problems with UTI its a good idea to keep the cranberry juice in your diet,but i'm sure your doc already told you that.
