UTI: Although your symptoms have improved, it is possible that you have a UTI. If your symptoms return or if your urine has an unusual color or odor, a urine culture should be performed.

Need urinalysis: To know for certain whether or not you have an active UTI. Good sign that it no longer stings when you urinate. Please note that cranberry juice isn't treatment for UTIs, it is a preventative for developing UTIs by inhibiting adherence of bacteria to bladder lining
