What Is The Home Remedy For Recurring UTI?

I'm pretty sure that I have had a uti for the last 6 months or so, but it seems like it comes and goes. Could it be that it is curing itself, but recurring? I have randomly had the lower groin pain that comes with it roughly 5 times, but other than that and a few times that I have suddenly had the urge to pee when I know I just did, those are my only symptoms. I have had a uti once before this for about 5 weeks, but I did not know until a doctor had told me during a visit regarding another matter. I would have went to a doctor already, but I can not afford it and my co-pay is currently too high for me to afford either. Is the uti something that I can cure myself at home by drinking cranberry juice and other such things? Thank you.

Hi
Thanks for your query.
While your symptoms are suggestive of UTI, we can be sure only after doing a urinalysis or dipstick analysis and if possible a urine culture.
Cranberry juice has been shown to prevent recurrent UTIs in a small number of patients. However it is not the cure. You will need a course of antibiotics.
Meanwhile you could drink plenty of fluids.

Hope this helps
Good luck
