What does the literature says about the utility of cranberry
juice or tablets for the prevention of UTI. Is there a role?
We do not routinely suggest cranberry products (juice, tablets, or
capsules) to reduce the incidence of recurrent UTI. However, is
someone really wants to try it, there isn't much harm to trying
cranberry. Only problem is it may cause heartburn and have extra
caloric and sugar intake (with juice).
What are some preventative methods of UTI for women with
multiple recurrent UTI's?
If lifestyle modification are not working can consider suppression
therapy with antibiotics.
Continuous prophylaxis, postcoital prophylaxis, and intermittent
self-treatment (which is not really a prophylaxis method) have all
been demonstrated to be effective in the management of
recurrent uncomplicated cystitis.
Or perimenopause or menopausal women may benefit from
vaginal moisturizers, estrogen creams or HRT that may help
restore their vaginal mucosal integrity and resilience.
