It seems the older I get the more common they become. Now I can't keep getting antibiotics every single time, so if anyone has any natural remedies that actually work I'd greatly appreciate it. Currently drowning in cranberry juice and water lol |

D-mannose is often taken as a supplement to help treat and prevent urinary tract infections. It's believed to work by blocking the activity of a specific type of bacteria that causes UTIs. You can buy in health food shops
Since I swapped to non latex condoms I suffered a lot less. getting them. When I first joined Fab I was absolutely plagued with one after another couldn't get rid of them. But a very sympathetic midwife recommended I try a prescription of Macrodantin as prevention. So I would take before sex and it would prevent me getting it. I no longer need to take them but if I feel one coming on I take and stops it in its tracks. It works to change ph level in your urine
I also pee immediately after sex and drink plenty of water |

Alkalising the urine may help to sooth the UTI. So use Bicarbonate of soda one teaspoon in half a glass of water. I tried this before when I was away and hadn't my Macrodantin. I was in so much pain and it gave me such great relief. I hope you are feeling better soon they are such a nuisance |

Thank you all for the advice, I just can't figure out why they keep happening. I thought I was just dehydrated because it's certainly not that I'm having loads of sex haha |

I can't help much with the UTI but I can help you with your other problem  I'm terrible for staying hydrated myself. If you are reliant on fizzy or cordial, try sparkling water |

Might be worth a visit to the GP if they’re recurring. You could just be very prone so they can put you on meds for prevention. |

my sister had it persistently and it turned out to be a prolapsed womb, not what you want to hear so get it checked out if I were you.

Cranberry tablets can help. And drinking lemon barley. Taste isn’t for everyone but it does work a treat if you can tolerate.
If it’s reoccurring maybe a referral to a consultant may be in order to check things out further
Hope you feel better soon |

Hormones will do this to you. I didn’t check the ops age but this is one of the symptoms of peri menopause.
You can get localised oestrogen which helps to keep things lubricated. (Vagifem-prescribed)
I found I got them after I started menopause and having never had them before it was horrendous.

"Another vote here for d-mannose I have found it really good when I start to think I am getting a UTI. The joys of menopause seems to make them more frequent."
Yep, oestrogen deficiency can make some women more prone to them.

If you’re UTI is caused by a Kidney infection OP, cranberry juice isnt the best remedy. Cranberry juice can flush your kidneys to pass the infection but can lead to discomfort. I’ve kidney stones, my dad had a kidney transplant & we’ve been told not to drink it.
I’m aware that everyone is different & some remedies work for other people but just food for thought if you are having some more discomfort. Hope it eases up for you OP! |

Dunno about remedies, but here some prevention tips:
In general:
Don't use any scented products such as soap, toilet paper, wipes, douches, deodorants etc on your genitals. Only use water and a unscented pH neutral soap to clean your pussy.
Wipe your ass backwards, away from the genitals.
Sex related:
Don't use any oil based lubricants ie. baby oil or massage oils, apparently the only acceptable one is coconut oil, but I stay even away from that one
Get your play partner wash his/her hands thoroughly before touching you. Same applies to your hands. Wash your toys after and before playing
Urinate immediately sex
Don't use the same condom for anal and vaginal sex.
Fingers that were in someone else or up the bum shouldn't go back unwashed into the vagina.
And obviously when having group sex consequent change of condoms from partner to the next partner

Thank you.
This should be mandatory educational reading for everyone on Fab!!!
OP..
Demanose is brilliant and can be taken daily as a build up in your system and when a uti flares, in higher doses... pee and shower immediately, esp after oral, be fastidious about your partner washing their hands and change condoms to latex free, avoid direct toy use without a condom or plenty of lube on thd toy as they can be germ carriers, even with the best of washing and irritants...
But age plays into it too so big hug and hope it eases soon x
