Preventing UTIs ??

Question

i get a uti almost everytime i have s*x. i heard that cranberry juice prevents it but what am i supposed to do drink it every single day? or just before or after everytime i have s*x. is it 100% cranberry juice or cranberry juice cocktail? because i cant stand the taste of the 100%.

also is there other way to prevent them,. i heard theres pills. do you think theyre effective?

Answer 1

Drink lots of fluids.

Drink lots of cranberry juice.

Take Cranberry pills.

Urinate IMMEDIATELY after s*x.

Answer 2

100 percent cranberry juice is what works but theres alternatives . (no sugar added). you can buy cranberry pills that prevent UTIs -- i got some at the local shoppers drug mart. !!pee after s*x, even just a little (i hate this rule because it usually hurts for me a.s. :(!!. wipe front to back. those are the general reasons. sometimes its difficult because if your man is big, it can actually like poke, your bladder, and make it mad :p

Answer 3

This is what I use as I also get them very easy. Go to Walmart and in the vitamin section you will find Mega Potency Cranberry capsules. Follow the directions on the bottle. Since using this I haven't had any problems. I can't stand the taste of 100% Cranberry Juice either. Good Luck to you and I hope it works as well for you as it has for me....

Answer 4

Answer 5

When I first got married I had them all the time...  Just a question have you ever had your sugar checked??

I know one thing for sure, when i was drinking big cappuccinos I seemed to get them.

I could get one and be clean of it on Monday and have s*x Tues and have one by Wednesday morning.  I had them for almost a year... It was awful... Thank god for the pyridium pills that make you pee orange and numb the pain...

Heres what I do for preventing... Him and I both shower before s*x, and after...  I drink a big glass of water before and make sure to pee right after wards to flush out the bacteria or whatever that may have entered during s*x.

Also don't hold it... Go when you have to go.....

100% percent ocean spray cranberry, or take cranberry pills if you can't take the taste.

Answer 6

Don't douche.It throws off your PH balance 'down there".

*Wipe front to back EVERY TIME you go to the bathroom.

*Wash your area daily, before s*x and after s*x.

*Drink plenty of water daily.

*Empty your bladder whenever you feel the urgency to go.

*Urinate before and after s*x.

*Take a vitamin C supplement daily-Vitamin C causes the urine to become acidic which can helps to reduce the number of bacteria in the urinary tract system.

*Cotton panties.

*Cranberry juice(natural/non preservative) or supplements.
