Go to an herbal supplement store and buy cranberry pills if you don't like the juice. Also drinking water helps. The juice works really well though, you should try drinking it even if you don't like it. Try diluting it with water. I've had bladder infections before and they went away after drinking cranberry juice. It saves me a trip to the doctor.

No. Actually, if it has corn syrup or high fructose corn syrup in it, it can cause diarhea. The ph balance in cranberry juice is good for bladder and kidney infections though. Make sure you get organic, natural without added sugars and such though.\n\n==========================\nPossible Side Effects \n\n\nDrinking cranberry juice in large quantities can cause diarrhea and stomach upset.\n\nNo serious side effects have been associated with the use of moderate amounts of cranberry in supplement form. Some people develop loose stools as a result of treatment with cranberry supplements, however; stop taking them if this occurs.

Corn silk tea is good. My mother in law said she cured her uti by drinking it.

No-  it could be the beginnings of a urinary tract infection but the only way to know for sure would be to see a doctor to get tested to make sure.  If it is a UTI, your relative will need antibiotics.  Make sure your relative drinks plenty of water and cranberry juice, and there is also AZO available in any drugstore which will help with any pain for the next two days.

It has been said that cranberry juice can help prevent Urinary Tract Infections.  There have been no formal scientific studies done that I am aware of to prove that fact.  However, in my experience, it has not worked for me, but I know people that swear by it.  By the way, if it does work, I am sure it can also work for males.

If the KUB was normal, that indicates the urinary system is o.k.  The burning sensation is not normal.  Return to the Dr. and ask about this problem.  You obviously have some sort of inflammatory process going on that needs to be treated.  Since you now have a history of UTI, include cranberry juice or cranberry juice supplements in your diet to help keep your urinary system healthy and drink plenty of fluids to flush the system well daily.

Definitely a UTI!  You need to get to the Dr. asap.  Until then go get some cranberry supplement pills and take six of them at a time 3 or 4 times a day.  and drink boat loads of water!  Just make sure you treat it becasue it can spread to your kidneys pretty fast and that can kill ya!  If you start having pain in your lower back, go to the ER.

I think that you should just drink cranberry juice. That way you know it's going through you urinary tract.

Cranberry is very good for all bladder complaints. Either in fruit juice form or fresh/frozen.\n\nAvoid acidic foods like citrus and Rhubarb.

No.  A UTI is not a major infection...it is easily cured and prevented.  Insurance companies normally disapprove people if they think they will die soon or will have a build up of medical expenses.  I don't think those characteristics apply to UTIs.  Also, crannberry juice is very helpful during UTIs and to prevent them in the future.

The type of sugar in the cranberry juice makes it difficult for the bacteria to adhere to the surface of your urinary tract.  They slide off and exit your body through the urine.\n\nNote that pineapple juice also has high concentrations of this type of sugar.\n\nIt has to be pure juice, btw.  Mixed juices and brands that are watered down and have sugar (a different type of sugar that has no effect on urinary tract bacteria) are completely ineffective.  Pure cranberry or pure pineapple juice are what you want.

the best thing to do is to drink a glass of cranberry juice as it lines ur inside and helps maintain a healthy equilibrium.  Also where possible urinate after making love as it promotes a neutral ph urinary tract.

I agree with others about drinking cranberry juice.\n\nIn addition, talk with your doctor about what might be triggering your infections.  Sometimes there are certain behaviors that create the proper conditions for infection.  \n\nNamely, (and sorry to get graphic here--stop reading if you don't want graphic info) when you wipe after defecating, you need to wipe from front to back, not back to front.  Also, trying urinating after having inter*course to wash any germs that might have traveled to your urethra.

Drink cranberry juice or take cranberry supplements (you can find them with the vitamins).\n\nIf you want the cranberry juice, it can be any flavor (like cran-apple or cran-raspberry).  I usually buy 64 oz and drink it in one day.

Did you try the AZO pain reliever? It gets rid of the pain when you have cystitis, urinary tract infections, etc. It always works. You don;t need the prescription for it , and can get it at the medicine section in a store.\nHere the link www.azoproducts.com/\n\nYou still need to see a doctor and continue your antibiotics, but this one will at least help you to stop the pain.\n\nThere is AZO-Cranberry also.

Cranberry juice helps prevent urinary tract infections, it has nothing to do with your vagina. Yoghurt promotes the growth of good bacteria in the vagina and everywhere else in your body. It only works if it says live and active cultures on the container.
