I paid to see a specialist as I kept getting cystitis and being prescribed antibiotics. The 'main man' said beware antibiotics, they can make things much worse and problems become chronic, and extend to thrush and other nasties. If you need an antibiotic it should be specifically targeted at the bacterium causing the trouble, not broad spectrum. I take uva ursi and the homeopathic remedy cantharis to keep things 'ok' down there. Cranberry juice can have too much sugar which also makes things worse. Don't neglect your condition. Drink lots of water and take a sample in. Good luck.
Thank you. I haven’t heard of uva ursi but will look it up. I was told that d-mannose had to be recommended by a consultant so since March 2022 have been taking it as a preventative measure in a glass of unsweetened cranberry juice. Until this last episode I have been free of infections. I am finishing the antibiotics today so tomorrow I am going back on it. These uti ‘s are a real problem and taking antibiotics is something that is necessary but have their own problems.
