I had UTI last January and didn't know it. Luckily my GP did do the urine sample. From now on I'll think I'll ask for it if it's not automatic.

I have frequent UTIs also. Many report success with drinking cranberry juice daily. I drank 1/3 cup of unsweetened cranberry juice each morning before breakfast. I'm no longer able to consume any fruit or fruit juice and have had to stop taking it, but it seemed to work the short time I was on the regimen.

There are medical studies that have proven the worth of cranberry for UTI.

(not that doctors will generally recommend cranberry tablets or juice over the prescription of antiobiotics....)

Thanks to all of you who responded to my problem. I will take your advice and am glad to hear this isn't such an unusual problem just a painful one! Bless you for being here when a person can feel so alone with this condition. Maddiegrace
