Hello,
I know how you feel! I am a 25 year old female and for the past few years, I had several UTI's, mainly caused by intercourse. But I started to get freaked out when the doctors told me it wasn't a UTI but it felt the exact same as an infection. One occurance, I was treated for an STD at the hospital and it all went away the next day. This whole thing is a mystery to me.
Now, after sex, I take 2 AZO cranberry pills, go pee and clean up. I haven't gotten a UTI since, and its been about a year. But some days I notice that it either burns when I pee or I have a pinching/pressure feeling after I pee for about a few minutes to an hour.
I decided to see a urologist and she told me my culture came back fine. No infection. So I did a TON of research online and found that D-Mannose is helpful. I take about 4 capsules a day when I feel the symptoms come back and it releaves the pressure, urgency and burning. It's not a drug and is natural.
I'm no doctor but I just wanted to share with you what works for me because my heart goes out to women who are suffering like this. I know how terrible the pain is!
I do take about 6 AZO cranberry pills a week though. Is this harmful to kidneys?
