Accepted Answer

Cranberry juice: Cranberry juice won't necessarily 'cure' your UTI, but it can be helpful, and is also a very good for prevention of UTIS.  It contains tannins, proanthocyanidins, that prevent bacterial attachment to the urinary tract.  With lots of fluids and cranberry juice, you might be able to head off an infection, but, if diagnosed, usually a short course of antibiotic is advised.  Blueberry juice good, too!

Question 4

how long might it usually take for cranberry juice to ease the symptoms of uti?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Cranberry juice or pills does not cure bacterial cystitis or relieve symptoms to any significant degree.  The only possible benefit is in taking it  daily is to prevent bacteria from adhering to the bladder epithelium.  If you have cystitis, see a physician and have a urine culture and get appropriate antibiotic treatment.  Meanwhile you might try one of the many "azo" products otc for symptoms.

Accepted Answer

Cranberry juice...: ...wont help. For several years it was believed cranberry could prevent or cure UTIs, but recent research shows no significant benefit. You may not have UTI anyway. UTI is rare in males your age (22). STDs are more likely causes of painful or urgent urination in young males; it&#x27;s an STD for sure if you also have urethral discharge. Don&#x27;t cut corners; you need to see a doctor ASAP. Good luck.
