    I also wanted to mention that woman who shave the pubic area are more prone to infections.  The hair actually helps to keep bacteria from entering the urethra.  I have also learned that UTIs increase as we age.  This is due to changes in hormones.  Some Doctor's suggest external hormone creams.

    After I finished Bactrim, my UTI came back a week later. It did not work for me. My doctor told me to order the Lady Soma Cranberry Concentrate and I wasn't very hopeful because I'd read that research was inconclusive as to the effectiveness of cranberry. Well, I am happy to say that after 2 weeks of taking 2 Lady Soma Cranberry Concentrates a day, my symptoms are GONE. No more frequency, burning or malaise. I am clear! I must say that the first 2 days I started them, I loaded up on water to flush it out and didn't fight urges to go. This really worked for me and I would recommend it to anyone who has this problem.

    My Utis finally stopped after I started drinking at least 2 cups of kefir every day , I make it myself , it’s a lot more potent than the crap from the store . Find out how to make it on YouTube . I also take D Mannose , I take a teaspoon of powder dissolved in water 3 times a day , and one extra dose after intercourse .

    good luck , I know how you feel , I suffered for decades before I licked it .
