Thread: home remedies for urinary tract infection

I think cranberry juice helps to prevent uti's.

Taking AZO Cranberry (pill form, you can buy at walmart) daily helps to prevent them, but won't treat them once you have one. Antibiotics are the only thing that will do that, that I'm aware of.

Peeing right after sex is a preventative measure as well. And making sure you're both clean beforehand.

I get them too and my cure is Cranberry Juice. You don't have to drink it everyday. At the first sign of a UTI coming on, start drinking it. Yes, even if you have a full blown UTI, I have gotten rid of them with cranberry juice. It helps flush things out. Alot of people hate the taste of Cranberry Juice, if thats the case, take 4 oz cranberry and 4oz orange and mix them. Makes a tasty fruit punch. My fiance hates the stuff but loves the half and half combo.

I know how you feel--tha thappens to me all the time as well! those cranberry pills are a godsend, but as a precaution I also use saw palmetto. You can get it in pill form and everything! this is probably a better explanation of what it is and how it works than I could give:*removed outbound link* the point is, its super helpful and I can take it consistently along with my other vitamins. I even make my husband take it now because it's supposed to be good for his prostate and he's not getting any younger. (Unlike myself,, of course, haha.)

Hope this helps!!!
