vaginapaginai have checked the memories.
i have researched everywhere.
i have the beginnings of a UTI & i have a couple of questions.
i bought cranberry pills & i am drinking what seems like GALLONS of water all day. the bottle says it helps the health of your urinary tract which is good. however, in my research i read something that said that you should not take cranberry after you have the infection, only to prevent it. #1: is that incorrect?? #2: will the pills help to cure the infection or just the symptoms? i am trying to kill this before it turns into something i need the doctor for, but if this is true i might as well give up on them. #3. what are the causes of UTI's OTHER THAN SEX. i am not sexually active, but this is my second one.
thanks so much! <3
