Though perhaps a little bit of an old-fashioned home remedy, in addition to prescribed treatment, having a UTI is a good excuse to enjoy some cranberry juice cocktail. Cranberry juice is known to be helpful at curbing them. And tastes good. |
I was drinking cranberry juice like crazy for a couple days until I finally decided to go to the doctor on Sunday. I asked her about it and she said the study results are mixed but it doesn’t hurt. I like the cran raspberry flavor.
Kinda tmi but I took off my underwear and I am fine now.
I’ve been wearing my moms giant pajama pants the last couple of nights and then baggy shorts during the day. I’ve been avoiding jeans.
I’m also wondering if you could just be like super tense down there without any actual issue going on. I’ve been sitting on my bed with my legs crossed for hours at a time.
