    How do you know it's an actual infection if you haven't been to the doctor? One can feel pains similar to a UTI, but they are not actually an UTI. If it was actually an infection, cranberry juice would not get rid of it. There is Interstitial cystitis and Painful bladder syndrome both can mimic the symptoms of a UTI. Just sayin'.

    The azo cranberry supplement pills and the azo pain pills help with the pain and drinking alot of water. I noticed I get them when I eat/drink lots of sugar over a period of time. So maybe cut back on sugar if you think that might be part of it, but some women are just prone to them. Your doctor can leave you a standing perscription for antibiotics to get rid of them if you get them often, but it's best to see a doctor because they can lead to serious problems if left untreated

    I forgot to mention Uva Ursi (also known as bearberry) works really well but don't take it with cranberry juice. That with d-mannose was what finally kicked my UTI even after antibiotics didn't touch it. Now I start with that and if it doesn't work I will go in for antibiotics but I haven't had that happen yet. Drinking lots of water, d-mannose and UVA Ursi while avoiding all sugar is my personal prescription.
